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.
