Product Description

Product Description

A remarkable 12-week program that will teach you how to tap into deep sources of wisdom and find greater fulfillment in these challenging times.

The Mythic Path (1997) is a powerful antidote for modern lives caught in the disorienting grip of a world in turmoil. This newly expanded and updated edition brings to you a highly successful seminar that has been evolving for over two decades. An engaging book/tape "workshop," it is being assigned as homework by a growing number of psychotherapists and used to structure meetings in numerous men's and women's groups, recovery programs, and other settings where people are committed to deep personal change.

Your personal mythology--comprised of beliefs and motivations that operate largely outside your conscious awareness--is the internal guidance system that shapes your journey. The more effective your guiding mythology, the better equipped you are to meet the challenges your life presents.

* Become less bound by the grip of outmoded patterns from your childhood and your culture

* Recognize crises of faith, courage, and identity as calls for renewal in your personal mythology

* Cultivate a vision that empowers you and nurtures your finest qualities

* Explore your dynamic role in your culture's evolving mythology

* Foster your appreciation of humanity's larger story

* Embark upon a spiritually attuned journey of self discovery

The Poetry of Change: Living the Mythic Path 4 Aug 2000
By David Hopkins - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A lucid, warm and transforming work, The Mythic Path is the kind of book one continues to carry around as a companion once finished reading it. The rituals of the 5-stage process provide a framwork for addressing one of the most important questions confronting contemporary humankind: How to find grounding and depth for one's soul and spirit in a world struggling to retain a sense of mythos and the sacred. The two authors have combined their individual expeiriences to create a work that is simple in its approach, while sublime in its impact. Stanley Krippner brings to the book years of experience in the study of shamanism and mythology, and David Feinstein combines philosophy, mythos and years of clinical work to offer a comprehensive program for change accessible and invigorating to both scholars and lay persons.

Mythic Path Is A Practical Guide For Reaching One's Goals 13 Aug 2000
By Jimmy L. Smull - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Mythic Path is a psychological inventory of personal myths that may no longer be of value. The authors have expanded their original book, Personal Mythology, to challenge the reader to participate in a mythic treaure hunt to uncover the origin of the mythology one is living. By following an easy step-by-step system of discovery some deeply-embedded patterns should be identified. This practical guide helps to acknowledge, heal and integrate new myths that should be helpful in reaching new goals in life. I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't want to waste time living out a mythology imposed on them by their childhood or their culture.

An important tool to inner understanding 26 July 2007
By Seth J. Frantzman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The `Mythic Path' provides readers and seekers the ability throughout 12 weeks to contact their mythic path, to heal their childhood wounds, to create a personal creation myth and connect with their inner selves. "Personal mythology is but the flower on the bush" and it is this flower that one is asked to explore. The book is composed of five stages where the reader is asked to identify their personal myth using elements of the Socratic thesis, the second stage where they identify their opposing conflicting myth, a third stage of synthesis, the fourth stage of testing the `hypothesis' and the fifth stage where the myth is woven into everyday life and action.

The stages and the program provides all the necessary tools to discover these inner personal myths through dreams and inner images, and through careful instructions on how to cultivate these myths and understand them. The incredible degree to which the book walks one through the process, the insight into ancient Greek mythmaking is a real value for anyone searching for meaning in life and hoping to discover themselves. This is an immensely successful and all encompassing program and it should be embarked upon with care and after a period of reflection of what commitments it entails, but surely it provides many answers for people feeling lost or empty, and even for those who feel they have all the answers.

A personal myth is a constellation of beliefs, feelings, images, and rules-operating largely outside of conscious awareness that interprets sensations, constructs new explanations, and directs behavior. &quote;

the fundamental task of the human psyche is to construct a model of reality, a guiding mythology; that this guiding mythology embraces the spiritual foundations of your life as well as the more traditional areas of psychology, such as your feelings and thoughts; and that your success in generating a vital guiding mythology determines, in large part, your success in life. &quote;
