"The most rewarding mythological experience you can have is to see how it lives in your own psychological structure."
"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was Dostoevsky and Dickens who taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who ever had been alive. Only if we face these open wounds in ourselves can we understand them in other people." -

[Recorded February 2017, August 2017, October 2019, December 7, 2019] Defeating Doomsday.
BTS: This pre-recorded episode was assembled shortly after Part 3, but was never happy with it. While waiting on inspiration, it was decided to stop trying to resuscitate recordings from 2017. Forewarning, the concluding Part 5 is probably never coming and this Doomsday series is abandoned for now. Nonetheless as this episode was already completed it's finally being published. However, a NEW mini-series is already in production, the first episode will be published Friday.
