I thought it would be a good idea if we used a thread to list books that relate to all that we'v been talking about. Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, et al.

List the books that have influenced your personal myth and journey in life, and why they did.

Here are a couple of mine to start with:
Women Who Run with the Wolves - Pinkola Estes C.
Helped me really discover my wildly creative side, as well as give myself permission to ask all those questions I was too afraid to ask.

Pathways to Bliss Mythology and Personal Transformation - Joseph Campbell
Teaching about myth threading its way through all of our lives, and how important it is to find your own Holy Grail.

A New Earth Awakening to Your Life's Purpose - Eckhart Tolle
Learned how important it is to know you are not your thoughts, or your ego which makes you obsess and get lost in thinking, and how to find the stillness inside to help find your true self and open up to an immense universal creativity.

The Divine Matrix Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief - Gregg Braden
This book opened up a whole new way of seeing the world and how we are all literally connected through our DNA and energy, as well as how it is possible to affect our lives, and the world, with our intent and energy if we learn how to focus and believe in it. (Quantum physics, chaos theory & fractal stuff... but with an entire spiritual bent to it)

I have been reading the last couple of weeks of conversation here and I love it. I totally relate to what you all are saying. I would say more but I don't have access to my own computer at the moment. Thanks for this Joseph Campbell thread.

I love the idea of a book thread! I'll have to sit down and think about what to contribute after I get over this cold and ear infection.

Dr Allan's Stories We Need to Know would be on the top of the list, for sure
