3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue # 61, 7th September 2021

The festival season is here and so are the amazing mythologies, folktales and legends that go with it! Eternal truths are embedded in mythologies. There’s a certain beauty and depth in them that take many years to unfold and multiple life situations to fathom. They offer us an amazing roadmap to the human psyche.

What is your favourite mythology? who is your favourite character? what has been your recent read of a mythological story – for yourself or to your student/child? how did you interpret it? Share your thoughts and insights, find some tips here if you are on the journey of reading and interpreting the hero-stories.

Three Images of the Week

Two Thoughts of the Week

“I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?”
― John Lennon

“Mythology is not a lie, mythology is poetry, it is metaphorical. It has been well said that mythology is the penultimate truth–penultimate because the ultimate cannot be put into words. It is beyond words. Beyond images, beyond that bounding rim of the Buddhist Wheel of Becoming. Mythology pitches the mind beyond that rim, to what can be known but not told.”
― Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

One Video of the Week

How to think mythically and sense archetypally to better understand our shared humanity, yet honour the diverse ways we live and make meaning. Australian-born Lithuanian Kristina Dryza is recognised as one of the world’s top female futurists and is also an archetypal consultant and author. Kristina has always been fascinated by patterns for she feels we are patterned beings in a patterned universe. She writes and speaks about the patterning of seasonal, tidal, lunar and circadian rhythms and their influence on creativity, innovation and leadership. She also explores archetypes and mythology to perceive the patterns in the collective unconscious and their expression within our psyches, society and media.
