How do myths through art, music, and films speak to men's hearts and minds today?

 

1. "Myths are not false stories or lies, such as when we talk about certain things being "a myth" or like looking for myth busters.

 

2. Myths and mythologies were meaningful narrations that helped to explain how the world works. These narrations are found in art, music, poetry, folklore,  films, stories, etc. 

 

3. Myths speak to the deeper parts of our human experience and inner reality.

 

4. Myths resonate with the archetypes, the blueprints that are foundational structures to our common transpersonal and transcultural psychology and perceptions of the world. 

 

4. Myths include stories, songs, art, and symbols that describe what happens in our psyches, and the way in which our psychological energies shape our perceptions about the world around us.

 

5. Myths are projections of our inner dynamic onto the outer world. 

 

6. Myths help us to deal with thoughts, feelings, dreams, desires, and deep psychological sense of being by using metaphors to help describe and make sense of these things."
