    The cinematic art forms of Interior Mythos Journeys are an effort to reacquaint us with the practices and exercises that have the possibility of delivering us into an encounter with the timeless deep place that is forever with us, but that we have become very skilled at not noticing. Please encounter: Beginning the Journey - Place, Path and Practice
    Our Mission: The curriculum of Interior Mythos Journeys is a quest to explore contemporary mythic language that is in harmony with the 21st Century, Global, Quantum Scientific, and Universal Reality in which we all actually live. Learn more at interiormythos...
    As we solitarily and collectively claim the force of a relevant contemporary mythos, we are delivered to the possibility of life-lived-in-depth, the possibility of authentic life. This is the path beneath the surface.
    The Transformative Encounter: The Practice of Contemplation
    In the current age this transformative encounter, as well as the practices that deliver us to this encounter and the personal connection that flows from this encounter, is seldom the focus of our lives. Many of us wander disoriented through life, often on a self-destructive path, in a world seen, understood, and measured primarily by the external environment. We are disconnected from the Connecting Myth. We are disconnected from the interior depth to which the Connecting Myth might deliver us. Ironically, we have come to understand myth as a lie rather than a symbolic and metaphoric gateway to a deeper truth.

      ashish sharma, We are grateful you have discovered this channel. We are pleased with your presence and hope you will return often. There are many videos on this channel but the core of the message is presented in the “Life Journeys” series. The “Life Journey” series uses material from some of the greatest teachers living today who are mostly unknown to the popular culture; including Abbot Okumura and many teachers who have experienced much training in India and through your countries rich history of depth. These sequential cinematic art form modules guide one deeper and deeper into consciousness and the practices of a contemporary contemplative. We suggest doing one sequential module per day or on some regular schedule. The journey begins with “The Presence.” ruclips.net/video/gekfR1jrsko/видео.html. This sequential contemporary contemplative journey is an excellent opportunity for solitary inquiry or shared group discussion. The top Comment listed under each module contains a link to the next sequential art form. We hope to see more Comments and reflections from you again soon. GO Deep!

      Karthik Raghunathan, thank you for this kind affirmation.
      We are grateful you have discovered this channel. We hope you will return often and share your comments freely. There are many videos on this channel. The core teaching is presented in the “Life Journeys” series (check out the Playlists: 49 short videos in this series have been released to date). The “Life Journey” series uses material from some of the greatest living teachers who are mostly unknown to the popular culture; including Abbot Shohaku Okumura, Sister Joan Chittister, and many others from the East and the West. These sequential cinematic art form modules guide one deeper and deeper into consciousness and the practices of a contemporary contemplative. To advance in becoming a contemplative practitioner, we suggest encountering one sequential module per day or some other regular schedule that works for you. The journey begins with “The Presence.” ruclips.net/video/gekfR1jrsko/видео.html. This sequential contemporary contemplative practitioner journey is an excellent opportunity for solitary inquiry or shared group discussion. We know of no stronger existing guided material to nurture a deep journey in today’s world; for a beginning seeker or a master. The top Comment listed under each module contains a context for the specific video on screen and a link for the next sequential art form. We hope to see more comments and reflections from you again soon. We will always attempt to respond.
      If you wish to grasp the underlying intent of these cinematic art forms consider this short practical context: ruclips.net/video/vDChtBZdqiw/видео.html GO Deep!

      Evan, Thank you for this wonderful question and for visiting this channel. We hope you will return often. This channel is home to some of the most compelling teachers-of-depth who remain mostly unknown to the popular culture. But their message is here and available for anyone seeking a deeper journey. Our editorial staff is busy, at-this-very-moment, working on the 14 modules of the most-recent conversation with Abbot Okumura. This first excerpt you have viewed is an indication of the coming foundational messages which will be shared in the full communication; soon. We are still deciding the best method for partial or full release on RUclips of these 14 modules. So stay tuned, check back regularly, and share the material with your friends. We are grateful for your presence on this channel.
