Nature and culture used to be known as the two great garments of the world and at this time both are in danger of unraveling. Nature and myth used to be seen as sacred texts, with each being a living language trying to speak to us. Mythic narratives weave the divine and natural realms together and involve human consciousness in ways that reveal the deeper truths of life.
Mythic stories perform a soul-making, life-enhancing function that connects the individual psyche with the creative inheritance of humanity. As threats of collapse increase in the world, a balancing vision and liberating energy for renewal tries to awaken in our souls.
Mythic narratives can serve as antidotes for our anxieties and fears; but also reveal hidden knowledge and meaningful paths of awakening. Since myths speak to each soul differently, they can deliver to each listener the psychic facts and healing factors they most need.
We are living in a Kairos time, in an open moment in time in which things become both impossible and more possible at the same time. The next world is hidden in this one and the narrative wisdom found in stories provides the psychic foundation for a genuine awakening. When something awakens in us, something also awakens in the world.
