Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of the StreetSmart Wisdom Podcast. I'm your host, Steve Stein, and today we're diving deep into the soul-stirring realms of mythology and psychology. Joining us are two remarkable minds: poet, writer, and maverick of the mythopoetic men's movement, Robert Bly, along with the profound thinker and self-explorer, Mikey Bracket.
In this episode, Robert shares the transformative power of myths like Iron John, illustrating how these ancient narratives offer timeless wisdom that helps us navigate personal and relational complexities. With captivating insights, he sheds light on the soul's journey through these stories, challenging us to venture inward before aiming upward.
Mikey Bracket champions the idea of embracing our inner characters—the knight, the child, and even the evil stepmother—without judgment, as he reflects on Robert's influential work and storytelling paradigms. From a program Steve Stein reocorded and published on BetterListen.com , Robert brings to us invaluable lessons from the Lindworm myth and how it fosters deep self-exploration.
They discuss the evolving landscape of men's psychology and therapy, reaffirming the essential role of Robert’s work in fostering emotional awareness and growth within men’s organizations. With a blend of personal anecdotes and expert knowledge, they highlight the significance of revisiting the roots of the men's movement to ignite genuine, radical change.
This potent conversation is not just for the ears but for the soul as we explore the indispensability of mythology in our quest for understanding what it means to be truly human.
So, prepare to engage with the profound as we unpack the connections between inner shadow work, mythology, and living a soulful life.
