Religion

I thoroughly enjoy the work of Joseph Campbell, Huston Smith and others. The Vedic teachings are endlessly fascinating and insightful. Taoism and Buddhism are full of wild and crazy stories full of insight. Indigenous cultures throughout history and across the globe have amazing knowledge in their myths which I think if we could learn to understand them in a modern frame of reference could save us from ourselves (much of it dealing with right relationship to the natural world that we modern humans seem so estranged to). I recognize too that it's not everyone's cup of tea either. But categorically dismissing myth as false is throwing out a tremendous amount of knowledge that our ancestors passed onto us.

And I happily identify as a progressive.
