Amen. (Coincidentally, I was also just researching the significance of ancient symbols and rituals.)

These habits-whether formal rituals or private routines-form the fabric of our life. And given how ancient some of them are, it's astonishing how drastically they've changed over the recent decade.

No wonder we're all so lost and confused! Tech has changed the game. We're each being constantly devoured by this dragon of automation, AI, and social media.

I think we need to look to hero mythology and bring back older traditions and habits if we're to escape this self-perpetuating cycle.

Great read brother.

Oh wow were you??? For the Jungian article you just wrote? I’ll read it tomorrow.

Love the visual of “dragon of automation” and totally agree that we need a revival of heroism and old traditions that are reshaped for this new age.

Thanks for taking the time to read!

Yes, I was. Funny how that works out, I think Jung would smile at that synchronicity.

And I would be flattered, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Great article. Rituals tap into the habitual nature of human beings and provide a stable foundation upon which our curious nature is allowed to flourish simultaneously.
