Gillian’s online seminar will look at why a ‘myth’ is not a myth. As long as humans have had speech, myth and mythology have always been relevant. Mythology makes sense of the world and the forces greater than ourselves. It educates people into the religion, philosophy, morality and ethics of a culture, especially for the young. It is hands-on age-old knowledge and wisdom. For the people concerned, it is not a myth but the truth.
With the loss of the ‘myth’ of Christianity for many young and older people in the West there is a vacuum of meaning, purpose and wisdom which is being filled by social media etc. But it is often unsatisfying and can lead to the problem of extreme anxiety and FOMO. C.G. Jung said ‘The Gods have become diseases’, and we can see this in the level of addictions of all kinds.
Jung thought that finding one’s own ‘myth’ was very important. Gillian will look at how we might go on this search for what Jung calls ‘The Symbolic Life’.
