Having encountered the mother goddess on the island of Crete, the young warrior is set upon a new adventure: the transformation of his warrior spirit. Psychologist James Hillman wrote, "A warrior is one who has learned, through serving the god of war, to embrace the beauty and fragility of life and the compassion of extreme comradeship. In learning to serve the goddess, the warrior is transformed into an instrument of justice and healing." PART I: In the Spirit of Dionysus The first requirement of the warrior's transformation is to isolate himself from the community, but he need not do so alone. First, he meets the ancient Greek "spirit of Dionysus." The young warrior then meets and marries a French woman. Together, the spirit of Dionysus lifts them above the mundane reality of civil society. Their adventure takes them to Tunisia, where their child is born; Mexico, where he meets the dark side of the goddess; and Morocco, where he learns the ancient ways that heal the fratricide of war. But the young warrior has made a vow, which he must keep: to return to the United States when the Vietnam War is over and reintegrate into society. The war ended in 1975. PART II: The Adventures of John Christian At his moment of transformation, the young warrior discovers the name and identity of his warrior, or tutelary spirit. He also realizes that the oath he swore upon entering the military-to "defend the nation against all enemies foreign and domestic"-is unfulfilled. The decades of the 1970s and '80s bring to light the true enemies of democracy: the titans that promote a mass-mentality and thrive on greed, materialism and the emptiness that President Carter called a "spiritual malaise." In order to complete his initiation, the young warrior must plunge, alone, into the mystical realm to confront the spiritual powers of the Titans. After a two-year journey, balanced on the razor's edge between the rational world and world of shadows--the realm of the spirits, the young warrior emerges from his ordeal as a transformed personality and discovers the true destiny of his tutelary spirit. "He has become another...this new life is conceived as the true human existence, for it is open to the values of the spirit." PART III: Reintegration With his initiation complete, the young warrior reintegrates into American society as a teacher to combat the injustice done to young people in the American educational system. His adventure concludes with a return to Crete, a ceremony in a mountain cave and a celebration with friends in a peasant's taverna.

Individuals join the military and go to war for personal reasons, but for some there is an instinctive need to find and initiate the inner warrior spirit. The awakening of the warrior spirit may come during training or in combat. It is an awareness of mysterious instincts, feelings and intuitions that guide one in combat and are more acute than logical reason. However, modern warfare can frustrate and undermine the authenticity of the warrior spirit, and psychologists have shown that failure to initiate, transform and reintegrate the warrior into society contributes to combat related PTSD. Written as a memoir in a style that illuminates the classic struggle between Love and Death, JOURNEY TO MYRTOS tells the story of a young man whose call to adventure in the Vietnam War is motivated by an instinctive desire to know the warrior spirit, which he discovers during his training as a helicopter pilot. But in the combat zone, he also discovers that his warrior spirit is bound to serve elaborate and abstract political justifications that, along with the concepts of a "war of attrition" and "free-fire zones," is in conflict with the morality of the warrior spirit. His body is wounded in combat, and the young warrior returns home. But he is frustrated by the failure of his initiation, and he carries the burden of the killer instinct that was evoked in training. These are the wounds to the soul that must be healed and transformed so that the veteran can move on with his life. The cure for his post-traumatic stress is to re-discover the person he was before joining the military: to rediscover his Eros spirit. To fulfill this new revelation of his destiny, he flees to Europe. In both America and Europe, in the 1970s, the youth of the counter-culture are experimenting with sex and drugs and rock-n-roll. The young veteran is attracted to the counter-culture in order to rediscover his more innocent, younger self and heal the wounds to his soul inflicted by his failed combat initiation. When he opens himself to the mystery of his own soul, he is drawn to the island of Crete. "Whoever sets foot on this island senses a mysterious force branching warmly and beneficially through his veins, senses his soul begin to grow," wrote the famous Greek novelist Nikos Kazantzakis. And in a small fishing village on Crete, he meets the ancient Mother goddess. She is the only one who can heal his soul of the wounds of war. She is the ancient deity of warfare and motherhood, of destruction and nurture. She commands all the phases of the life cycle: birth and growth, love and death and rebirth. That gives her license to be both chaste and promiscuous, a nurturer of new born infants and bloodthirsty for meaningful sacrifice. As man is born of woman, the sprits of Eros and Thanatos that manifest in the individual soul are the twin gods born of Great Mother goddess. Thus, the goddess presides over life and over the gods of Love and Death.

The Capture of Attu, first published in 1944, recounts first the history of the westernmost Aleutian Island - Attu - then provides many firsthand stories of the infantrymen fighting in this incredibly harsh and rugged island, against an enemy determined to fight to the last man. In June 1942 Attu and the nearby island of Kiska were invaded by the Japanese. On May 11, 1943, the American effort to retake Attu began in what quickly became an infantry battle: the ever-present fog, rain, and high winds limited airplane use, and the rocky terrain and sodden tundra prevented the use of most mechanized equipment. Fighting was finished by July 4, 1943, and as recounted in the emotional final paragraph of the book: "The battalion was assembled. Major Charles G. Fredericks read the Roll Call of the men who had fallen. Lieutenant Colonel Glen A. Nelson spoke. A sergeant sang My Buddy. And Padre Habetz repeated a prayer. After the volley, the last note of Taps echoed over the mountains. Then it was over. Captain Robert C. Foulston said, "Forward..." but the "march" stuck in his throat. With chins clamped hard and wet eyes blinking, the silent fighting men marched off the field. It had been paid for. Attu was ours." Included are 6 pages of maps and 23 pages of photographs.

THEME: The vocational archetype stands behind the character of the teacher's personality, focusing lessons on both the intellectual and personality development of students. Teachers discover the vocational archetype in themselves through trial and error. The teacher-student relationship in the autonomy of the classroom inspires the mind and nurtures the character of the soul. However, consciousness of mind and soul are different. Soul consciousness has an imagistic nature that can see the spiritual archetype that stands behind the individual personality. The child archetype is depicted in many cultures as the "divine child." The archetype of the adolescent is the hero. The vocational archetype of the teacher is expressed in personality and character, nurturing the archetypal characteristics in the personalities of the students. However, many teachers have lost touch with the archetypal characteristics of their vocation and must seek the vocational archetype on their own, through trial and error. This book is a portrait of one teacher's process of seeking the vocational archetype. Experiences with students are a major part of the process. The other part is to find and defend a classroom philosophy that evokes the teacher archetype in front of the students, their parents, and the administration. The author will inspire, encourage, and empower teachers who are seeking the vocational archetype in themselves, and give voice to the vocational archetype in our school communities and in our culture. (About the Author) Robert Mitchell retired after 27 years as a secondary classroom teacher in multiple subjects in both public and private schools.

Starting from the unmistakable contrast of two socially developed »movement systems«, the aesthetic performing art of classical ballet vis-à-vis the internal martial art of taijiquan (aka tai chi), Robert Mitchell plunges into the depths of what it means to practise these two ways of moving, identifying commonalities and differences. This sociological study focuses especially on what these practices entail for the settings in which they are taught. Drawing on the author's experience as a professional ballet dancer, the study has been over thirty years in the making, utilising (auto-)ethnographic methods to approach its subject matter from diverse angles.
