| Message | Dear Mr. Aronofsky, My name is Andrew Gurevich. I am a professor of religion, philosophy and literature in Portland, OR. I am also an avid supporter of your body of work. And because you have been such an inspiration to me I wish to send you an article I have just finished about the history of Goddess imagery in the United States and what new findings in neuropsychology are telling us about how this imagery informs our true legacy as Americans and can possibly help shape our uncertain, but fast-approaching, future. This article examines the history of Goddess imagery and its cultural, religious and political implications for modern society. New research in neuropsychology, evolutionary biology and child development are also explored with regard to what they can teach us about how these cultural and mythological symbols can be understood and incorporated into a new paradigm for civic discourse.
I've had some encouraging responses since the article was published at the website Reality Sandwich:

I've received personal emails of encouragement from the likes of: Dr Jill Bolte Taylor, Dr. Amit Goswani, Frank Schaeffer, Thom Hartmann, Dr. Ralph Abraham, Dr. Carolyn Walker Bynum and Noam Chomsky who called the piece "eloquent and moving." I say all this not to "name drop" but to assure you that I am not sending you something that hasn't been vetted or that I feel would waste your time. |
