Recognize the existence of the unconscious in life.

This series of five spoken essays combines human actions with mythic awareness. It helps you to recognize the existence of the unconscious and it opens you to new and deeper ways of knowing.

Course Description

This series of spoken essays combines human actions like reading with various ways of attending to the movements of mythic awareness. They include how an ancient myth finds its way into what was a blockbuster film; the way we can find some lineaments of our personal myth through reading; the presence of psychic energy as a force field in three domains of one’s life; the place of motorcycling as a mythic action; and how our understanding of violence might shift if we take a mythological view of its presence in culture. 

The listener may find other applications of these varied topics, undergirded as they are, by the mythic presence of elements of all of our psyches. 

We might keep mythologist Joseph Campbell’s observation in mind when we read these essays: “Myths do not belong, properly, to the rational mind. Rather, they bubble up from deep in the wells of what Carl Jung called the collective unconscious” (Myths of Light xvii). Recognizing the existence of the unconscious opens us to new, deeper ways of knowing.

  1. Demeter, Persephone and the Alien(s) Cultural Body
  2. Psychic Energy’s Portal to Presence in Myth, Poetry, and Culture
  3. The Voice of Violence: Its Afflicted Utterance
  4. Motorcycles as Myth and as Metaphor
  5. The Act of Reading as Mythic and Poetic Motions of Soul
