Mythology Myths can serve as doorways into a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. Through myths, we can gain entrance into another consciousness which can give us a different view of ourselves. Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell have written volumes on the power of myth to reveal deeper aspects of ourselves.
