Traditional folk tales and multicultural myths  can be used as  powerful tools because they are  repositories of ancient  wisdom about the human condition and because  they teach the language  of symbolism, imagery, and metaphor. These  wisdom tales can help us  gain insight into behavior and can function as effective catalysts for  bringing about  change.  Through storytelling, we can learn the language  of metaphor,  which can help us intuit the existence of deeper meanings  and truths.  

In  our language a mythological god is an archetype and an archetype  is  always at the same time an instinctive pattern, an instinctive basis.  The mythic field is the realm of the unconscious. The form of myth emerges as patterns from the field of the Collective Unconscious. Pattern is a language, using fields to describe dynamic relationships and energetics. Each pattern is a field. The field of myth is emotional --  emergent, resonant, challenging -- inviting ritual enactment to animate  and embody it.  Thus, we recognize and develop our own style of mythic  consciousness, stepping in to join with others, daring to live our  larger lives within the field of historic life. Such journeys are rites of passage.

 Components of the  unconscious emerge in conscious life. Personal myth, (a  biochemically-coded internal model of reality and a field of  information), shapes individual behavior as cultural myths influence  social behavior, Symbolic content is a mythic field. Shift the field,  change the myth. Rituals shift the field. Transcendence parallels the emergence of myth as new life experience. Jung described the transcendent function as a reconciliation of conscious and unconscious elements, remapping our boundaries. Adaptation is a combination of individual and group work. 

Archetypes generate (or  "cause") an endless variety of   transformations that are   experienced  as images and ideas had in dreams,   fantasies and  visions.  These  images, ideas and beliefs bear the mark of   personal and  cultural   conditioning, and the archetypes themselves   are involved  in the   development of consciousness. The archetypes   produce all of  the   universal material in myth and ritual drama.   Archetypal  experiences  tend  to be numinous and transpersonal in their impact upon personal development, for they are the eruption of archaic and timeless meaning into the personal world of the ego.

The archetype exists as the intersection of spirit and matter. We are now beginning to understand in a scientific way how this intersection  might   be possible, if by "spirit" we mean the order of the quantum  sea. Human experience becomes the localized instantiation of the universal -  the  transcendental - through the medium of neurognosis.  And neurognosis is  precisely the local embodiment of the structure of    the  sea, and at the  same time the structures mediating  consciousness.
