dear questers…

mythology is often viewed as a phenomenon outside of ourselves… exclusively geared to exterior consciousness… happens on the big screen… not in my life… you think…

in this short video… i speak at a private screening for ‘mismo‘… a feature film i directed… giving thanks to the helpers on my journey of personal expression…

i have been involved in a lot of creative projects… from completing my dissertation on ralph waldo emerson… to writing binge thinking… to speaking to various groups… to making short movies… yet mismo marks my biggest and most creative personal expression…

joseph campbell suggests nobody can embark and complete a journey without a series of helpers… some expected… some unexpected… along the way… these helpers provide amulets to bring good fortune… to propel us forward… the reality of mismo is no exception… my film partners and i received bounties of help on our creative trek…

on a practical mythological note… i speak to how the power of story can be turned back onto ourselves to understand ourselves as being in our own movie… with the same transformation.. and characteristics… all people who create.. undergo and experience…

alive,

gino

P.S.
without doubt… the biggest angels in my life have been (and continue to be) my family… their unconditional love and continued interest in my spiritual expansion… propels me forward… i feel blessed for my family circle…

quester question:

can you identify the helpers on your journey and the amulets you are provided that bring good fortune?
