Is Joe referring to one’s personal mythic forms?

Yes / can / no, depending on how you read the message. The unconsious (instinct) is very common and straightforward transparent to everybody, yet without awareness. Emotions (feelings, expressions, stories) are highly coloured personal integrated perceptions through personal synthetisms (nature-nuture) into personal expressions. Ratio is squaring the consious perception (‘spoken’ thoughts) into the mould of language and habit. So depending on one’s awareness in life, one’s personal myth can be lived, or unnoticed completely. What I’ve understood of all his books, everyone is within this adventure, this personal myth. Most folk do not even care but prefer the cages of belief and conviction instead.
