Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-06 00:00:00 James Mccomic This book contained a favorite passage or well known expression: "If you listen to the (cosmic) whispers, you don't have to hear the screams." The Universe whispers to all of us and sometimes you may receive a real "cosmic kick" that could land you in the hospital, for instance, where your message will be delivered directly and powerfully. Hopefully, from that point on, all your insights gained will penetrate and transform you as a person. We have to learn that life experiences allow us to comprehend the profound reality that "the soul loves the truth." When you tell the truth to yourself, you are free. The challenging circumstances of life ALWAYS come with a lesson, and its through experience that we grow. At the end of each chapter are included steps to empowerment that are useful and accompany various topics of challenges of the author we may relate to.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-05-24 00:00:00 Kenneth Lemaster I didn't realize this was an academic book when I purchased this, but I am grateful that it is. This book anticipates work like Lewis Hyde's Trickster Makes This World, wherein myth serves a gateway into a deeper understanding into the way specific human cultures function. What I feel readers of this work can easily miss though is that there is a vein of postcolonial thought that implicitly works its way into O'Flaherty's volume. It's possible that postcolonial scholars interested in mythology may find this work more useful to them than layreaders interested in this subject matter.
