This lecture was part of a workshop I lead with my friend and collaborator, Elisa Perez, as part of an ongoing exploration of creating our own mythic language for our lives.
Here, I talk about the love story of Radha and Krishna and how it evolved from the story of Krishna and the Gopis over the centuries. Self love in this way is a divine union with the sacred, the marriage of body and soul and a surrendering to the loving embrace of the divine within yourself.
The text I read excerpts from is The Masks of God: Oriental Mythology by Joseph Campbell. p. 343-358
