Episode notes
Logos vs. Mythos
- There are two ways of thinking: logos (logic, reason) and mythos (narrative, imagination).
- Mythos helps us understand our place in the world's story, connecting our individual story to the larger cosmos.
Myths as Lies That Tell the Truth
- Myths are narratives that reveal deeper truths about the human soul, explaining things logic can't.
- The Icarus myth illustrates the dangers of overreaching ambition and ignoring inner wisdom.
Live Your Unique Story
- Connect with your unique story and inner giftedness (your "genius").
- By living your own story, you become an active contributor to the ongoing creation of the world.
