Source: Visionary Interpretations of Global Creation Myths

By Rowena Pattee Kryder

Twelve global myths are interpreted from a perspective of quantum physics, Chinese Five Elements Theory and Holographic models in an original synthesis of the major themes of creation myths. Black and white original art is on almost every page, illustrating the myths and giving shape to the interpretations.

"In this remarkable book, Rowena Pattee Kryder describes how her interest in mythology was evoked in 1966 when she had to make sense out of a dramatic, unexpected "kundalini" experience.

"Dr. Kryder's masterful comparison of the mythic themes of David Bohm's notion of the Explicate, Implicate, and Super-Implicate Orders is a tour de force. It demonstrates how contemporary scientific cosmologies can be seen as dancing with cultural creation myths rather than opposing them."

-Stanley Krippner, professor of Psychology, Saybrook Graduate School and co-author of The Mythic Path and co-editor of Varieties of Anomalous Experience

"This unusual book paves the road to understanding the Source of Our Being. It is visionary by nature, because myths touch more than one level of human existence.

Rowena Pattee Kryder's book will inspire a wide range of readersfrom mythologists, historians of religion, philosophers, psychologists to any seeker of the underlying meaning of Life."

"Rowena presents us with an astonishing range of creation myths as an ontological study of our relationship to the creator. She awakens our divine being from sleep by interpreting these myths in a modern, scientific context like a true Shaman. Rowena takes us back to our magical memories and reveals the essential traits of humanity."
