Join Joseph Campbell as he unlocks the profound insights and shares the deeper meaning contained within global myths and what they mean for the future.
We are the consciousness of the earth, Joseph Campbell explains. The power of myth is to bring us into a consciousness that is spiritual, and raise our consciousness to another level.
In your brain are special cells that read the minds of others. Dubbed mirror neurons, these cells fire in response to the “reflection” of another person. Whether you smile or watch another smile, the neurons in your brain respond exactly the same. That is, your brain perfectly mirrors the emotion and experience of others (energetically, holographically and chemically-speaking) as if you are having the emotion or experience yourself — first-hand. Neuroscientists believe mirror neurons are what allows us to feel empathy and compassion for others, as our brains use “mirroring” to translate what we see so that we can relate to each other and the world.
“Mirror neurons may well become this century’s equivalent of the mid-20th century discovery of DNA,” writes Robert Sylwester, emeritus professor of education at the University of Oregon.
“New brain imaging from UCLA demonstrates that specialized brain cells, known as mirror neurons, activate both when we observe the actions of others and when we simply read sentences describing the same action. When we read a book, these specialized cells respond as if we are actually doing what the book character is doing.” [NOTE: This new, groundbreaking science is remarkable support for why and how our Stories for Transformation work.]
Mirror neurons may be a key to enhancing our evolutionary process. Knowing that personal and group realities are largely created from the inside-out, we can carefully select optimal sensory data streams that reflect wholeness, unity, profound harmony and inspiration. Humankind’s creations and relationships in the outer world ... mirror what we are seeing, feeling and creating in our collective inner worlds.
