Wisdom of the Toga: Mythic Patterns That Shape Our Lives

Book Description:

Everyone is a Storyteller. The story you tell can change the world. (Paperback or ebook at Amazon.com)

Extraordinary ideas travel the currents of time like actors in search of their next great role. We are not the first to ponder the mysteries of the universe and hope to find its key. What we are now "discovering" may have been known thousands of years ago. "Wisdom of the Toga" is both entertaining and thought-provoking as it delves into the realm of interpretive mythology, storytelling, science, and pop culture to uncover a common thread woven through time...mythic patterns that shape our lives. Laying out a pathway from ancient humankind's struggle for survival to our fascination with space exploration, the reader is guided on a captivating journey to reveal that "long ago and far away" the course was set to determine the part each of us will play in humankind's unfolding story; for as long as the Fates allow.

In following the various themes laid out in Wisdom of the Toga, here are some thoughts that stand out to me:

From the Roman times with the formal role of the "toga" in that culture, and venturing backwards and forward in time, referencing myths, stories, poetry and the arts, this book gives me a sense of "connectedness" to my past, present and future. The book itself is very poetic, and informative.

Monica Davis weaves her story using the proverbial threads of our human journey, showing connections between ancient cultures and their stories to our own time with our symbols and traditions. Her theme that story tellers have woven truth into the memorable tales, of struggling heros and their journey, is inspiring to me, that we all have a chance to participate in this great human adventure.

With stories, astronomy, science, music and other traditions, Monica builds her case that we are all connected. This is a great story about the Great Story, we the people gracing this Cosmos!
