Myths are the building blocks of the collective unconscious. Just as dreams communicate the archetypal guidance to the individuals, myths communicate these archetypes to the culture and communities. Myths are the dreams of cultures. Myths have a unique cultural flavor and a cross cultural resonance. Generally, the \u201cHero Myths\u201d may symbolize the ego complex, the \u201cMother Myths\u201d may symbolize the return to the unconscious and the \u201cChild Myths\u201d may symbolize emerging Self and the \u201cCreation Myths\u201d may symbolize the process of the creation of new consciousness, restoration, renewal, and transformation. \u00a0We will explore the structure and the Alchemic Hermeneutic method to analyze the myths. We will explore the myth of Goethe\u2019s Faustian Bargain and the Sufi myth of the Rebirth mystery embedded in the 18th<\/sup> Surah of Quran from a Jungian lens as these guide us in the therapeutic vessel and the larger cultural theater. Join me in exploration of the timeless wisdom of our depths.<\/p>\r\n
