Well, it's marvelous to be in this historic room
where Manly Hall put his fine collection of
manuscripts from all over the world.
The University of Philosophical Research is an unusual place
an unusual pioneering online and distance learning program
Master's degrees in Transformational Psychology
and Consciousness Studies
and I'm happy to be teaching in both programs
a class called Mythic Stories in Depth Psychology
draws heavily from Carl Jung's ideas
and the work of Joseph Campbell who I studied with
and was the curator, the founding curator
of the Joseph Campbell archives.
There is a great deal to be learned from our stories
from having a sense of what kind of journey we are on
what kind of unique character we are
in the unfolding drama of life.
We use folk tales and stories from mythology in the course
to explore symbolism
and to take a dream-like study of wisdom stories
to see how they reflect the inner life.
It's been very exciting having students
from all over the world
studying by way of UPRS
getting into their own wisdom and the wisdom of all ages.
So, I do recommend the program for people
who are looking for further study
and of course it can be done anywhere.
