Week 8--Monday Class Reflection
Our myths hold together our versions of reality. They are essential to the integrity of our worldviews. Deconstructing our myths doesn’t just lead to a dry academic treatment of the elements of what we hold to be true; it also deprives us of our inspiration. In the deconstruction process, we need to be careful not to totally dismantle the mythical framework of our collective subconscious so as to rob us of our inspiration to continue the search for truth.

What if the myth is what's robbing us of our inspiration by being only one-sided? What if it's moving beyond the myth, that opens up real inspiration and freedom to be creative? I'd say this is what the prophets always do, even MLK would be a great example of one who deconstructs the myth in order to have the freedom to dream.
