This episode of Living Myth focuses on the sense that we are living through a radical time when change becomes necessary and a transformation of life becomes more possible. Michael Meade uses an ancient myth to depict, not just creation, but importantly the process of re-creation which secretly sustains life on earth. When we find ourselves in a time of radical changes in nature and conflicts and chaos in human societies, growing our true selves and changing our lives becomes more possible, unless we become stuck in the grip of uncertainty and fear. If we stay at the fearful, anxious level too long we can become divided from our deeper sense of self and can lose our natural capacity to be part of ongoing creation.   As difficult and fearful as it can be to live at this critical time on earth, the human soul is ancient and deep and knows that the world can collapse and renew itself at the same time. In terms of myth and imagination, we are also in a period of re-creation and potential renewal. To be human is to feel vulnerable and suffer uncertainty, but also to be touched by the divine and therefore be able to heal and transform and contribute to the natural and necessary process of re-creation.   Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.
