David Mathisen: Star Myths of the World

David Warner Mathisen explores the world’s ancient myths, scriptures, and sacred stories and the evidence that they share a common foundation, based on a system of celestial metaphor that is very specific and almost certainly connected, probably descended from an extremely ancient culture predating even ancient Egypt, ancient Mesopotamia, ancient India, and even present in the sacred traditions of extremely ancient cultures in Australia, in Africa, in the Americas, and in the Pacific.When we begin to hear the myths in the language that they are actually speaking, we find that they have as a central theme the path to recovery of our own authentic Self, from whom we become alienated in this life through trauma.David is a graduate of the US Military Academy at West Point and has a graduate degree in literature from Texas A&M University. He has been an instructor in the Department of English and Philosophy at West Point and currently lives in his home state of California, where he enjoys surfing and watching the stars, planets, and heavenly cycles.
