Living MythEpisode 473 - Finding Guidance in Your Life Michael Meade reflects on how, if we are able to stop and listen more deeply, we can connect with subtle sources of wisdom and guidance. He shares his experiences of receiving guidance that has taken the form of dreams, birds and animals, an inner voice and the realm of myth and story. Essential to the practice of hearing these vital messages is both an embrace of humility and a willingness to stand in the place of not knowing. During this time of upheaval in both culture and nature, when we collectively stand in...

Living MythEpisode 472 - Moments of Truth This episode begins with the recent shooting in Minneapolis in which an intensive care nurse named Alex Pretti was shot ten times by ICE and border patrol agents. There are fateful occasions when a tragic event becomes a moment of truth for both individual life and the collective meaning and core values of a culture. Michael Meade suggests that: "We are now, and may be for some time, in a collective tragedy that involves a battle for truth and meaning, but also the need for a transformation of culture that is aimed not only at the need for political...

Living MythEpisode 467 - How Healing Songs BeganThis episode of Living Myth begins with a Native American story of the origin of healing rituals. In telling the tale Michael Meade emphasizes a remarkable point in the story when knowledge, healing and songs all enter the world at the same time. The songs become central elements in the original healing ritual which brings those that are sick or wounded to the center of the community. Having established the importance of healing songs, Meade introduces an excerpt from Mosaic's recording "A Song is a Road". Thank you for listening to and supporting Living...

Living MythEpisode 450 - Healing and Transformation On this episode of Living Myth, edited from an interview with Thomas Hubl for his Collective Healing Conference, Michael Meade considers transformation as an ongoing and natural dynamic of the universe. This core theme is woven through an in-depth conversation about finding deeper self-awareness by examining the ego's resistance to change and how the wisdom of elders protects and guides us through transformative processes. As the inner dynamic of transformation, Meade considers how initiation means the continuous breaking open of areas of the soul in order to reveal hidden capacities and inherent gifts. Th...

Living MythEpisode 449 - Creative Paths in Chaotic Times On this episode, Meade considers how the specific struggles encountered in life can open pathways to the center of the self where purpose waits to be found, where vitality can ever be renewed and where spirit whispers its precise calling. Each personal crisis and life transition can evoke the esoteric pattern of the soul and the deep self waiting to awaken within us. The presence of the greater self is what shifts the ground of trauma and heals the aching soul. As things fall apart all around us, the deep self seeks to aw...

Living MythEpisode 448 - Be Your Note Beginning with the idea of "die before you die," Michael Meade describes how a little-death can lead to a deeper sense of knowledge and a greater appreciation for life. Our encounters with sorrow, disappointment and loss can be revalued as ways in which the ego-self dies a little and the deeper self becomes more revealed. Sharing two powerful stories and a selection of poems, Meade shows how the more thoroughly we shed false aspects of ourselves, the more we can redeem our lives and sound our unique note in the world. Thank you for...

The only way to heal the realm is to find the Water of Life. Doing that requires the seeker let go of all arrogance and accept the condition of not knowing. For only then will the mysterious dwarf provide the guidance and resources that are needed for the quest. Part of the essential guidance involves learning how to face ou...

Living MythEpisode 436 - In the River of TimeThis episode of Living Myth begins with recent scientific reports which seek to explain why humans may be inclined to put their trust in leaders who claim to be strong and omniscient and will submit to those who are manipulative and deceitful. Studies in anthropology and psychology reveal age-old biases that lead people to believe what others believe in order to "fit in" and idealize and imitate those who appear to be highly successful. These "hardwired" biases become activated during times of radical change and become amplified when collective levels of uncertainty and fear increase. The...

Living MythEpisode 432 - Waking the Living Soul This episode begins with an often asked question: What is the soul? Michael Meade describes the soul as "the animating and connecting force without which we cannot live," yet that "cannot be seen directly or simply be proven to exist." He further describes the soul as "a betwixt and between thing, neither simply physical nor strictly spiritual," but rather "the third element in the trinity of existence, that fills the subtle space between spirit and matter." Soul is the connecting tissue and the hidden continuity of all of life. It is "the missing ingredient when everything...

During this time of division and isolation, Meade suggests that whereas simple knowledge tends to divide things, genuine wisdom makes meaningful unity possible.

Living MythEpisode 421 - Chaos, Conflict and the Deep Self WithinThis episode begins with the idea that we live in times of extreme changes and increasing chaos. When the world around us falls apart the issue becomes not simply a change in lifestyle or shift in politics, but a revelation of the core imagination and original aim hidden within each of our souls from the beginning. Michael Meade tells an old Native American myth about a youth who has a vision of a "singing stone" that gives great medicine to whoever finds it. In order to find the stone and the medicine that can help him and...

Living MythEpisode 411 - The Necessity of Gratitude Michael Meade answers questions about the sources and meanings of grace and gratitude. Gratitude used to be called the "parent of all virtues" and its presence indicates the natural nobility of the human soul. We are most human and most alive when we allow ourselves to be touched by the beauty of the world and when we feel genuine gratitude for the life we have been given, no matter how hard or how dark the world around us has become. In this way, expressing gratitude helps to bring grace back into the world. ...
2024-11-2639 minLiving MythEpisode 410 - On Hope and Despair This episode begins with the old idea that emotions travel in pairs. Sorrow tends to travel with joy, so that if we allow sorrow to penetrate us, it will pull us to a deep level of our soul where joy can provide a renewal of spirit that lifts us back up. On the other hand, when we deny the grief and sorrows that enter our lives, we wind up losing our capacity for joy. Another natural pairing of emotions occurs with hope and despair. While despair can mean to "lose all hope," it is not simply a blind alley...

There's an old statement that says, "The soul is here for us to transform". Yet at the same time, something within us resists changing, even when the time for transforming our lives has come. In the mysterious way of the world, the metamorphosis of the butterfly offers ways to understand why we resist the exact changes we most need in order to transform ourselves and help change the world.

In mythological terms, creation is ever ongoing as nature continually presents the essential mystery of life renewing itself from the haunts of death. In terms of that ageless story, we are being invited to participate in a return to the original potential that was there at the beginning and continually becomes present again.

Fear is an old word that derives from the same roots that give us “fare,” as in “thoroughfare.” Although it often causes people to run away from troubling situations, at a deeper level, fear means “to go through it.” When we fail to recognize how fear works in the world, we become ruled by it. The point is not to become paralyzed with foreboding or be caught in the panic that can grip the collective and cause people to run blindly in t...

In this episode, we define what "Mandatory Minimum Sentencing" is within the judiciary proceeding of a criminal trial, and we describe its purpose within the context of the criminal justice system.

We conclude this episode by using Jamie Meade's LWOP sentence as an example of why discretionary sentencing based on the offender's culpability should be returned to the sentencing judge who sat through the trial.
