Although there is a ton to read on the subject of the demons lurking beneath the surface of your conscious cortex, I am sure that you may find it more attractive to give it a start with a more appealing presentation first.
Both stories will enthrall you into a world that sheds a light upon your own, giving you something to meditate while I am stretching time to write more posts in order to start this blog rolling.
So, only a few quality yet popular leads, but here they are:
- Brain Story
; in a show by the neuroscientist, professor and baroness Susan Greenfield, perhaps a more technical approach but nevertheless still popular - a story in six chapters:- All in the Mind
- In the Heat of the Moment
- The Mind's Eye
- First Among Equals
- Growing the Mind
- The Final Mystery
- another show, somewhat complementary therefore I highly recommend to follow them both, presented by PBS: The Secret Life of the Brain
; also has a great site to accompany the experience, where you can see other details including the brain itself.Also you may want to enjoy a "somewhat connected story", about the creation of collective myths. Maybe not a time for Mircea Eliade yet (we are still in the visual zone) but check this out: Joseph Campbell is a great storyteller himself and exposes the mechanisms that were implied by storytellers over millennia and how the stories were made; and still are, his work is basis to StarWars as well ;-)
Ok - here is the link to Mythos
.I know you can find them on the net, however if you like them and find somewhere to buy them
, I am sure you will not hesitate.
