Stealing Fire: A Men's Metaphor

Here is a Powerpoint slide-show entitled Stealing Fire that I compiled last week using the story of Prometheus as a spiritual metaphor, with a very brief explanation the understanding given to archetypes in Jungian psychology. This slides were written with a male audience in mind, but similar treatment could be given, for example, to the Celtic goddess Brigit, or other feminine light-bearers.

Yet after reviewing it, I'm not sure how or whether I will ever use the presentation (about 50 slides) in clinical practice. I decided to post it here, at least, for benefit of anyone seeking such Light, accompanied by a GNU Free Documentation License authorizing that it be shared.

Another classic painting of Prometheus bound, suitable for use as desktop wallpaper is shown below.

A free viewer for Microsoft Powerpoint viewer is available for those who may need it.
