CHARACTER AND DESTINY: AUTHENTIC THREADS IN LIFE

Noted New Age Jungian James Hillman doubles with a "coreligionist." He and self-styled "mythologizer" Michael Meade go deeply into the "daimon" and how it determines the course of one's life. In dog-and-pony showmanship before a live audience at the Seattle Art Museum, they employ verse, song, story, lecture and other exercises to instruct us on saving the world while extracting personal gratification from life. Hillman and costar are engaging, articulate, humorous and, to the uninitiated, a bit silly. Their message--well, it's not for the skeptical, who will be amused or annoyed at their presumption of possessing all the answers. Y.R. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: MAR/APR 98]
