Tales of Myth, Nature, & Culture  with storyteller & mythologist Michael Meade    The modern world suffers from "double exposure" as culture and nature, the "two great garments of life," seem to unravel at the same time. Culture no longer protects against growing threats of global terror and societal greed, while Nature becomes increasingly endangered through holes in the ozone and the effects of global warming. Science and religion seem to arrive at similar conclusions as statistics and scriptures each predict the "end of the world." Is it the end of all time or a time of many endings seeking the vital ground of renewal?    In this dynamic recording mythologist Michael Meade shows that when all sense is lost and all seems headed for destruction, it is "mythic sense" that is missing and mythic imagination that is needed. Not a particular myth, but stories and "earthly wisdom" that reunite culture with great Nature where the pattern of birth, death, and renewal prevails. Rather than the literal call for people to "save the planet," Meade suggests the issue is finding the lost connections to the living Soul of the World and the Tree of Life at the center of all spiritual paths.    "Humans are the 'makeweights' in the scales of time and eternity. Either we find the courage to live the dream that brought each of us to life or we live a 'half-life' of fear and resignation in the face of growing uncertainty and increased exposures. Near the end it is important to have 'mythic sense' and a 'story-mind;' not a fantasy to escape with, but grounding imaginations that can hold the two worlds of spirit and matter together. At the ends of time we find the roots of eternity again." - Michael Meade    Mosaic Audio  Three Compact Discs
