HNRS 2020 Lecture 1: Myth & Archetype Notes
Document Summary
Both worldviews with a level of universality some kinds of myths between. Both can look at the hero"s journey in some way cultures and some archetypes throughout humanity. Both affect how we perceive and interpret the events and people in our lives. Both deal with stories and the characters that inhabit those stories and the qualities of those characters. Do not allow us to question instead only accept. People can live without being aware of these. Both are philosophical ideas that take an open mind to comprehend and study. Archetype helps us connect to something more than the material, physical world. Archetypes cannot be escaped, you are stuck with them. Archetypes are engrained in us while you start identifying with myths from experience. Archetypes can explain things that are uncontrollable to humans, specifically behavior. Archetype believers can ask deeper questions then myth and remain in archetype.
