For my first post, I would like to
start off by defining what I mean by the mythosphere,
as this will encompass all proceeding posts.
In the work The Primal Force in Symbol: Understanding the Language of Higher
Consciousness author René Alleau defines the concept of the logosphere in
the following way:
The
logosphere, for humans, has become a new living means that transcends duration
and nature and their ephemeral limits. By naming beings and things, humans are
born into another life, that of their meaning, their symbolic function. For
this reason, the symbolizing animal that we humans are is nourished by the
products of this new, living medium, the logosphere, just as the animal is
nourished by the products of the biosphere. (167)
Therefore, begotten of the
logosphere, the mythosphere might be simply understood as the stories that we
live by. And it is through the mythosphere that we are born into another life
as well—our mythic
life. And our mythic life is the inner life by which our souls find spiritual
nourishment, purpose, and meaning, all in storytelling.
Reader, this is your story, your
personal mythology; so, what myth are you living by, or what myths are living
you?
Welcome to The Mythosphere!
