Science and technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response.

Food For Thought
Modern myths abound. Who do your children idolize? Police Officers, Firemen, Doctors, Sports Stars, YouTubers, or Professional Video Gamers. The ideals behind myth form the foundation of our psychological development. These ideals are also found in the very fabric of life as it unfolds during modern times.
In today’s episode, I explore modern myth-making in the form of storylines from popular entertainment sources such as video games, movies, and other forms of entertainment children partake in to make sense of their lives.
Namaste, my friends. May blessings find you on your journey to advance confidently in the direction of your dreams.
