A lovely outline of where we are and what we need to leave behind. Any suggestions for new founding myths? The old ones are all ‘lost children coping stories’ and we seem more lost than ever
The ancient story isn’t just breaking—it’s showing us that what we mistook as order was always distortion. The myth of human supremacy, of control, of salvation through progress—these aren’t just outdated; they’re devouring the soul of the world. What’s unraveling now isn’t just culture—it’s the collective illusion that we could live without wholeness.
In my work, I’ve come to see that suffering often isn’t a pathology but a response to forgetting who we are. The myth we’ve lived is ego at the center—what I call *ego-solarism*. It orbits personal gain, disconnection from the heart, and the false belief that power is coherence. But coherence doesn’t come from domination. It comes from resonance—with self, with others, with life.
The new myth—if we dare live it—is not one of ascent, but of return. A remembering that evolution isn’t forward, it’s inward. That truth doesn’t shine—it harmonizes. So yes, the story is breaking. And maybe that’s grace in disguise. Because the real myth we’re being asked to live now isn’t of the end of the world. It’s of the end of forgetting.
This piece is a mirror held to the myth-making machinery inside us.
You name the ache beneath our collapsing stories with terrifying grace.
Truth isn’t what saves the world.
It's what unmasks it.
And maybe the end isn’t destruction, but initiation.

Thank you. I think we need to co-create them. We need to look to Indigenous wisdom. The time is now.
We are living the myth of misalignment.
