For me, the journey started in 1997 when I decided to go back to graduate school yet again. And so I ended up getting my second master's degree in mythological studies with emphasis in depth psycology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, where I am currently a Ph.D. candidate. Thus, I become a bona fide cultural mythologist. No one knows what a cultural mythologist is. The reason I wanted to study myth, especially as a playwright, was to find out why certain stories resonate so strongly in the human psyche.
Myths are imprints of human behavior.
And what is it in this pattern that is true to the human experience. Yes, a myth is true. In 1999, I started writing political essays for the Los Angeles Times , using my archetypal toolkit to analyze things like the impeachment hearings, Kosovo, and Hillary Clinton's bid for the Senate. Another publication published my analysis of Y2K in June 1999. With my brother Jim as web designer, we launched a prototype issue in early 2000, and since then we've been blessed to feature the work of therapists, lawyers, historians, cultural mythologists and award-winning writers.
