Mythopoesis is a Greek-derived word that means "myth-making." Mythopoeia was used by the English author J. R. R. Tolkien in reference to creative art about "fundamental things." Mythopoesis is, therefore, the creation of myth by means of the higher imagination. Thus, the creation of myth is also one of the highest forms of storytelling.In this way, myths and myth-making are a source of meaning for human consciousness, which exists at the junction of two vast worlds or realities: the external world known to science and empirical observation and the inner world described in myth, art, imagination, and phenomenology in general.This inner world, the world of mythopoesis, is present in popular culture, such as novels, television, cinema, comic books, and computer games, in which archetypal themes have been re-shaped according to the understanding and worldview of contemporary authors and readers.The inner world is not just an epiphenomenon of the brain. It is as extensive and autonomous as the outer world. To use the terminology of esotericist scholar Henry Corbin, it is an "Imaginal World," which is the intermediate or transitional reality between the mundane or everyday reality on the one hand and spiritual, noetic, and transcendent reality or realities on the other.Mythopoesis and the Modern World draws inspiration from various authors, including (but not limited to) J. R. R. Tolkien, Henry Corbin, Joseph Campbell, Carl Gustav Jung, Sri Aurobindo, Mircea Eliade, Ken Wilber, and Jean Gebser. The book also studies mythopoesis and archetypes in the science fiction and fantasy genres in relation to mythological and metaphysical narratives.
A History of Esotericism - From the Paleolithic to the Axial Age introduces the history of esotericism, the theoretical study and attainment of mystical, occult, "inner" reality. It begins with an introduction to esotericism and gnosis as a fourth way of knowing alongside reason, spirituality, and science. Rather than situating esotericism and gnosis in a timeless, ahistorical world, it is embedded in history as a human phenomenon that contains a transcendent element within society in keeping with historical circumstances. The story of gnosis is, therefore, also the story of the awakening of consciousness, and hence this review begins at the very beginning, in deep time with the origin of consciousness. From there, it progresses to early humans. The development of spiritual and transpersonal consciousness and the understanding of inner reality is followed through ancient and modern shamanism, the Neolithic revolution, megalith builders, the Great Mother archetype, Proto-Indo-Europeans, Mesopotamian Gods and epics, and Egypt with its God-Kings and profound knowledge of the afterlife. The book then examines the great Axial Age revolution: The Persian development of morality-based spirituality and 'good vs. evil.' The Indian metaphysical revolution with themes such as reincarnation, karma, and spiritual enlightenment. The Chinese philosophy of the I Ching, Taoism, and the polarity of yin and yang. The Abrahamic discovery of monotheism. The culture, philosophy, cosmology, psychology, and proto-science of Bronze Age, Ancient, and Classical Greece. Additionally, A History of Esotericism discusses topics such as the relationship between faith, reason, and gnosis, the evolution of consciousness, the spirit world, the association between myth and archetype, the afterlife and the nature of Gods, Earth energies, the imaginal world, the Jungian unconscious, symbolism, and egregores. The associations between magical, mythical, and metaphysical thinking, the nature of the soul, and consciousness, are also considered. A comprehensive glossary is included.

Who goes through life without bruises and knockdowns? No one. But do you know who comes out on the other side with healing and strength? Those who make up in their minds that they want a different way of experiencing life. The good news is that there's no reason why you can't be that person. The Bible says that the steps of a good man or woman are ordered by the Lord. Yet sometimes those steps take us down a road of pain, disappointment, misfortune, and trials that we would not have chosen for ourselves. It's at these times that we can experience tremendous growth and breakthrough-in our circumstances and in our faith-by allowing God to work all things (even unpleasant things) together for our good.
