Living Myth Podcast 400 - In the Face of Tyranny
This episode of Living Myth focuses on the struggle between the force of tyranny and the power of liberation from falsehoods and injustice. The old Greek word tyrant was applied to despotic kings and rulers, but was also used to describe popular usurpers who claimed to be all powerful and above the law. In modern usage, a tyrant can be any oppressive or cruel ruler, a would-be dictator or autocrat. The rule of divide and conquer has been a favorite tool of tyrants who typically ascend to power through the manipulation of people's fears and the proliferation of confusion and chaos.
A key characteristic of such a tyrant is an insistence upon complete obedience from other people. And there li...

One of the problems in the modern world is that people now tend to believe that science and technological inventions can solve problems that exist on much deeper and much greater levels. As Albert Einstein expressed it: “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” In the upward and onward at all costs rush of the modern world, it is the heart and soul of hu...
The Call of Genius

“We may be closest to hearing the call when we feel most alone or in trouble, for genius hides behind the wound and one of the greatest wounds in life is to not know who we are intended to be or what we are supposed to serve in life.” - Michael Meade #genius #calling

In a world that's rapidly changing in ways that can feel chaotic and threatening, it becomes easy to feel diminished, lost and small. Although it is common now to feel like nothing but a speck in a vast, accidental universe; we only feel truly small when we lose our sense of soul. Small and insignificant as we may feel at times, we carry within our souls a spark that is connected to the galaxie...

The Kairos Moment

Michael Meade talks about how in many ways we have entered a kairos moment, a time beset with both danger and opportunity as the world tries to change amidst the clashing of entrenched ideas and fixed beliefs.

Living Myth Podcast 391 - The Pathless Path
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.2 месяца назад
On this episode of Living Myth, edited from a Shift Network Summit on mysticism, Michael Meade suggests that we each arrive at turning points where the map we have been given does not match the territory we find ourselves in. Because each soul is unique, each life journey leads to the pathless path where we must awaken to the dream of our own life. When we open the eyes of the heart, we find th...

Waking to Archetypal Wisdom

If we can recognize and assimilate an archetype, it can change our lives, help us grow and have a healing effect on the ...

Living Myth Podcast 378 - Mythic Medicine
May Michael Meade, Ralph Nader and Bernie Sanders Live Forever❣️⚡️🙏🐗💙🇺🇸💔💔💢🧙♂️✨️👄🎊🎊🎊🎊
But if irreversible rapid climate change is upon us, does this matter? Perhaps we just need to get a call from Hanuman. Liberalism can also be a foil as in "Inverted Totalitarianism".
Autocrats and dictators are not synonymous with cruel. What a childish worldview.
Lol. Hang in there 6043.
Thought the woman who fell in love with Hitler ... Until they slept with him.
The very acts of autocracy and dictatorship are inherently cruel on a social, cultural, psychological and spiritual level; and often on an economic and physical level, too (as means of control). To deny individuals, communities, societies or countries their liberty and sovereignty is a massive, repressive and cruel assault.
Indeed that is the policy of the neo-con Democrat party today.
The anti-natalism tilt of the emerging neo-western mythos and the recasting of the society myths carrying the day will birth a chaos that will take our collective story back into a dark age. The individualistic focus of this episode lands on the mind like a vision of daffodils in a soft breeze by a very shallow pond. The most dangerous form of tyranny is not the tyrant who is obvious and bloviating. It’s the tyrant who lulls the populace into a self satisfied-stupor of moral superiority; and once enamored will march like rodents behind a piper to terrible ends- finally sacrificing a fragile liberty they were duped into believing they already lost. The tune such a Piper plays is likely to accompany lyrics such as, “imagine what could be, unburdened by what has been…” Conservation of tradition is as tedious and as thankless a task as fence mending. The beneficiaries of the fences rarely thank the mender, and are often unwitting of the suffering just beyond the boundary. But if one truly honors the past then the recognition that traditions are the vote today of those already departed and to dispense with those traditions lightly is to become a mouse…. One that will be whistling the tune the Piper is playing.
you're amazing gift Michael

Thank you! Your passion for mythology truly inspires me! 🙏 I have this too, but in the dimension of artistic practice, like painting, sculpting. I love to find myth interconnection with nowadays reality. Also sending light and love from Ukraine, that's all we have to fight the darkness now.

I saw Michael Meade many years ago at Omega Institute in New York. He was pounding on hand drums while reciting Emily Dickinson poems. Some things you just don't forget.
