Jean Houston a "fellow traveller" of Deepak Chopra in the "well being" business.
Deepak Chopra describes Jean’s work:
“Jean Houston reminds us that we need a new mythology for our age. Without myths, a society becomes sterile and is bereft of meaning and soul. I recommend her highly to those who want to restore the magical and the miraculous in their lives.”
Jean will be Deepak's debating partner in the oncoming debate with Sam Harris and Michael Shermer.
They apparently both share the view that we are short of myths.
They think the bible, the Koran, the Talmud and the Hindu scripts are not enough.
They have found they can tap into a deep stream of mid brain activity in mankind and pump out barrels of money by producing even more myths.
Sometimes I ask myself "What's the use?"
That's just the way humans are. What can we do?
