Myths are about the human struggle to deal with the great passages of time and life – birth, death, marriage, the transitions from childhood to adulthood to old age. Michael Shermer, Publisher of Skeptic magazine. Do you want to understand more about yourself, your dreams and the struggles of your life? Join the Mindfunda Mythology course.

“The oldest part of the Genesis story does not tell about the creation, it merely describes a rough, uncultivated earth. This archetypical void is a part of many creation mythologies. This void is cold and empty and needs to be organised. A couple of centuries later, the animals and the days are added to the story.”
(Mindfunda Mythology, lesson one: The Creation Myth: Genesis and the Big Bang)
Genesis and your Dream journal
The online Mythology course is created in such a way that you create a new perspective on old dreams.
“What worldview is revealed here, and how does it reflect on our self-identity? Let us break apart the story in symbols. I will use my own dreams that reflect those symbols, and invite you to do the same. Get your dream journal and look up those symbols. Try to re-interpret them with this information. In the last chapter you can find several exercises aimed at exploring your dream journal”.
(Mindfunda Mythology, lesson one: The Creation Myth: Genesis and the Big Bang).
The Big Bang and Genesis
“The Big Bang. First there was nothing and then there was a gigantic explosion. This chapter will make you realise that there might have been something and that the explosion was not so big. It is a catchy name, that is why we hold on to it”. (Mindfunda Mythology, lesson one: The Creation Myth: Genesis and the Big Bang).
It is remarkable that both mythologies start with a void. Out of that void, creation begins. I do not call the Big Bang theory a mythology because I doubt it. I consider it a mythology because it confirms the definition of mythology given by Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Saybrook University. “A myth is a statement or story with its origins in the imagination. It addresses important existential human concerns. It has consequences for behaviour. It can be personal, familial, institutional, ethic or cultural. A myth is something that never was, but always is” (quoted from a workshop Personal Mythology, Utrecht 2013).
