Book Description
Human culture from around the World contains many myths that attempt to explain such things as the creation of the Universe, the Sun, planets, Moon and the Earth, the existence and role of gods and goddesses, nature spirits, rites of passage for young people and the hero overcoming evil. Both Freud and Jung have stated that these Myths have existed from time immemorial.In the above book one myth well known from European culture, the Germanic myth of the life of Sigurd (Norse) or Siegfried (Frankish) has been chosen for examination. Rejecting the statement by Freud and Jung, the myth is traced back to the end of Atlantis, a time when a few uncorrupted spiritual leaders realised that they would have to enshrine important knowledge about Man's relationship with the Cosmos, with their own society, and with understanding the make-up of their own nature, in storey-formats. These myths had to be such that trained bards or Skalds could remember them and pass them down from generation to generation after surviving the coming cataclysm. Storeys that would survive centuries of wandering hunter-gatherers until some day in the future a new civilization could deconstruct these myths for the benefit of their peoples.The book starts by examining the arrival of Spiritual Man, Adam, who as a collective spiritual being of Divine Sparks incarnates into Earth's (Gaia's, Eve's) physical human, Cro-Magnon Man, at a time when this race had occupied the lands of Lemuria in the Pacific about 80,000 years ago. The book traces the slow descent (fall) of Man's consciousness into physical form with the concurrent loss of psychic sensitivity through Lemuria and Atlantis, until the eventual destruction of the latter. The nature of archetypal elements common in hero-myths is Myth itself. This is then de-constructed piecemeal so that the reader can understand the individual elements of the Myth. The nature of evil in the World is then investigated and the presence of a false god that has been misleading Humanity, a god that makes the hero path potentially very dangerous. This revelation is potentially explosive, and will disturb many people raised in the conventional religions.The book then explores what the lessons of the hero-myth mean to us today. As we move into the New Age everything in the World around us is changing. Courageous men and women are needed now more than ever to tread the hero path of discipleship to help steer Humanity away from the old structures that are holding Humanity back in its evolution.

Heroism in the Harry Potter Series
Author: Katrin Berndt
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317122119
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Taking up the various conceptions of heroism that are conjured in the Harry Potter series, this collection examines the ways fictional heroism in the twenty-first century challenges the idealized forms of a somewhat simplistic masculinity associated with genres like the epic, romance and classic adventure story. The collection's three sections address broad issues related to genre, Harry Potter's development as the central heroic character and the question of who qualifies as a hero in the Harry Potter series. Among the topics are Harry Potter as both epic and postmodern hero, the series as a modern-day example of psychomachia, the series' indebtedness to the Gothic tradition, Harry's development in the first six film adaptations, Harry Potter and the idea of the English gentleman, Hermione Granger's explicitly female version of heroism, adult role models in Harry Potter, and the complex depictions of heroism exhibited by the series' minor characters. Together, the essays suggest that the Harry Potter novels rely on established generic, moral and popular codes to develop new and genuine ways of expressing what a globalized world has applauded as ethically exemplary models of heroism based on responsibility, courage, humility and kindness.

Everyday Heroism: Victorian Constructions of the Heroic Civilian
Author: John Price
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1441130373
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Heroism in the 19th and early 20th centuries is synonymous with military endeavours, imperial adventures and the 'great men of history'. There was, however, another prominent and influential strand of the idea which has, until now, been largely overlooked. This book seeks to address this oversight and establish new avenues of study by revealing and examining 'everyday' heroism; acts of life-risking bravery, undertaken by otherwise ordinary individuals, largely in the course of their daily lives and within quotidian surroundings. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, John Price charts and investigates the growth and development of this important discourse, presenting in-depth case studies of The Albert Medal and the Carnegie Hero Fund alongside a nationwide analysis of heroism monuments and an exploration of radical approaches to the concept. Unlike its military and imperial counterparts, everyday heroism embraced the heroine and this study reflects that with an examination of female heroism. Discovering why certain individuals or acts were accorded the status of being 'heroic' also provides insights into those that recognized them. Heroism is a flexible and malleable constellation of ideas, shaped or constructed along different lines by different people, so if you want to identify the characteristics of a group or society, much can be learnt by studying those it holds up as heroic. Consequently, Everyday Heroism: Victorian Constructions of the Heroic Civilian provides valuable and revealing evidence for a wide range of social and cultural topics including; class, gender, identity, memory, celebrity, and literary and visual culture.

The Heroes of Rimau
Author: Lynette Silver
Publisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 0850523346
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
On September 11, 1944, the British submarine "Porpoise" slipped quietly from Fremantle Harbour, bound for Indonesia. It was carrying the 23 Australian and British members of Operation Rimau who, under the leadership of the remarkable Lieutenant-Colonel Ivan Lyon of the Gordon Highlanders, intended to repeat the successful Jaywick raid of 1943 by blowing up 60 ships in Japanese-occupied Singapore Harbour, 19 days later, the preliminary part of the operation successfully completed, the submarine commander bade farewell to the raiders at Pedjantan Island, promising to return to pick them up in 38 days' time. A handful of Chinese and Malays and the conquering Japanese were the only people ever to see the 23 men again. According to the scant official post-war record, the mission was an utter failure. All of the party were captured of killed - ten of them beheaded in Singapore only five weeks before the Japanese surrender in, it was claimed, a ceremonial execution. The fate of eleven of the others remains officially unknown. After a 31 year search, Major Tom Hall, with the assistance of writer Lynette Silver, has overturned the official version and uncovered the truth. Aided by thousands of Japanese and Allied documents and by the first-hand accounts of several Indonesians and Malays, sole witnesses to the events of 1944, they have established the fate of every member of the party and unravelled the story of "The Heroes of Rimau" - a story that has for 45 years been all but lost, distorted by hearsay and fantasy, by military cover-ups and conspiracy, by official bungling, ineptitude and apathy. This book not only chronicles a feat of extraordinary daring in the face of overwhelming odds - a gripping tale of inspired courage, self-sacrifice and eventual tragedy - it also exposes the appalling sequence of events which has, until now, resulted in the shameful suppression of the truth about one of the most amazing stories to emerge from World War II.
