What does it mean to have a personal myth? In this course, Craig Chalquist guides us to learn about the story we emerged into\u2014a story that organizes our weaknesses and strengths, needs and values, desires and dreams. We look at a personal or life myth that allows creative unfolding and deepening when made conscious.<\/p>\n
This course is full of practical tools, exercises and questions that help you to learn about your mythic self.<\/p>\n
Are we indeed born with a mythic and even an archetypal self just as we bring in other kinds of selves\u2014the spiritual, somatic, and cultural? How would we know if this was the case? And, what could we do about it?\u00a0Jung, in a 1942 letter, acknowledged that his \u201cpersonal myth\u201d was Faust, the alchemist. Jung wrote about this life myth as though he had come into this world with one.<\/p>\n
In this course, Craig Chalquist follows this idea of Jung and guides us to discover our life myth. He points out the potential clues we could pick up along the way to discover our myth.\u00a0Our personal myth is not a fixed determinism and, we have a creative latitude, as Craig will explain. But knowing about our myth allows us to play freely and open-heartedly. As the story eases upon us and our core wounds begin to heal. This is because our wounds and our complexes are related to our myth.<\/p>\n
Knowing about your personal myth helps us to be close to our daimon <\/i>and live in accordance with it. Myth also connects us to the world and sets us on our life path. When we get an idea of the bigger story that we are born into, learn how we can live it, add our personal flavor to it, and deviate where necessary, we gain a greater sense of fulfillment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
