The Outer Reaches of Inner Space: Critique of Campbells view of Myth: The Delphic Podcasts by Michael R D James Season 16 Ep 1
from Delphic Podcast by Michael R D James · host Michael R D James
Mythology emphasises one mental power in a matrix of emotion rather than the repertoire of mental powers Philosophy claims is necessary to support complex narratives relating to the Origin of the Universe and Life. Consciousness and Language are related to metaphor which Julian Jaynes argues creates a mind-space in which we can vicariously "live". We use analogies to name the unnameable divine Being which is, as, and will always be, but no mortal has ever, it is written, lifted the veil from its "face". Our modern metaphor for the absence of God is expressed in early etchings in stone which attempt to represent "Deus Absconditis".http://michaelrdjames.orgDelphic Podcast
