Mythology

Mythology reveal yourself through your founding myth: Hercules, Prometheus, Faust, Icarus, Narcissus, Proteus and Orpheus.

Myths are alive.

They are actors of the collective unconscious that still organise our lifestyles and behaviour today, most often without our knowledge. The story of Prometheus is a faithful description of the myth of Progress and its most visible consequences: the climatic "deluge" and man's cruelty towards his fellow human beings. Narcissus proposes an entirely different path: that of self-knowledge. By following his example, the person who lives this myth will become like the teenager who gave the world the best of himself. As for Icarus and Daedalus, they wonder about the consequences of a technical way of thinking that is working to shape the world. And then there is Faust! This character lets his modernity explode in generalized computer surveillance and transhumanism.

To explore myths is to re-establish a dialogue with the invisible world. Understanding them allows us to avoid the traps set for us by these structuring patterns that thrive in the collective unconscious. This opens up the possibility of a dialogue, and then a new alliance with the world of meaning, until these signifying forces become supports for man's initiatory journey and for the progress of history. Myths and symbols were the means of expression of the first men of knowledge. The shamanic visions, the allegorical writings of the pre-Socratic philosophers and, closer to us, the extraordinary writing inspired by Nietzsche's Zarathustra, evoke the possibility of a poetic knowledge of reality. A knowledge that touches all fields, from biology to psychology, since it is precisely these great structures of the collective unconscious that unite our world into a whole.
