Teaching Wisdom through Story, Legend and Myth (Paperback)

Paperback. How often our subconscious minds take us back to childhood to books, movies, music, poetry and art. The remembering brings them back to life for a moment or at a significant time. They hold memories of the art and music we shared when we were in love, and they have moments when we were awestruck looking at a field of flowers, all while reciting "I wandered lonely as a cloud" from Wordsworth. It's also likely we recounted Robert Frost: "Two roads diverged into a yellow road, and I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference". Maybe you remember the Myth of Icarus, the tale of two cities or Enid Blyton's "Famous Five", Goldsmith's" The Deserted Village", or the parables of Christ himself. In an age that invokes the spiritual more than ever, these tales and remembrances return to teach us and remind us that we, too, have a story.This book expands on these themes and will guide you if you wish to teach your children. We skipped over these vital stories, busy creating our own, and often forgot the lessons they contained. When used as intended, they teach many different ways of looking at life and help all who read think critically. Nothing is more pertinent than myths, legends, Folklore, and Fairy tales to take us deep into our subconscious mind. It can be the difference between awareness and awakening, central to launching us on the path to developing that which is already within.It is intended as a guide for Parents, teachers, homeschooling families and those who wish to read bedtime stories to their children. I hope it will serve all adults who read to remember once again, connect, and hopefully read more about this, which may help you on your Spiritual and Psychological path.Best wishes, and a review would be much appreciated This item is printed on demand.
