Archetype - "According to Jungian approach of psychology, some highly developed elements of the collective unconscious are called 'archetypes'. Carl Jung developed an understanding of archetypes as universal, archaic patterns and images that derive from the collective unconscious and are the psychic counterpart of instinct. They are autonomous and hidden forms which are transformed once they enter consciousness and are given particular expression by individuals and their cultures. Being unconscious, the existence of archetypes can only be deduced indirectly by examining behavior, images, art, myths, religions, or dreams. They are inherited potentials which are actualized when they enter consciousness as images or manifest in behavior on interaction with the outside world."

Sound Archetype (sound-infused archetype) generate audio and psychological support to archetypes, often enhancing the meaning and pleasure of the story or song. The current theory is that archetypes reside in the subconscious and couple with sound to become archetype sounds in the conscious. (W. Paul 2017)

A Sound Myth is an audio-fueled story consisting of several elements of regenerative mythology, often explaining the origins of a cultural practice or natural phenomenon.

8 Graphic Symbols -

Caving Glacier - Not only will melting Arctic sea ice raise global sea levels, it will also allow the earth to absorb more heat from the sun because ice reflects the sun's rays while blue open water absorbs it.

Methane Burp - Methane is a greenhouse gas much more potent than carbon dioxide. A 50 gigaton burp would be the equivalent of roughly two-thirds of the total carbon dioxide released since the beginning of the industrial era.

Ocean Acidification - The accelerating loss of ocean biodiversity and continued overfishing may result in a collapse of all species of wild seafood by 2048, according to a 2006 study published in the journal Science.

Tilling Soil - Tilling disrupts and inverts the soil. It tears apart the delicate fungal strands running through the ground, both buries and unearths bacteria, and wreaks havoc on the structure of vulnerable soils. Beyond that, it can create a "hardpan" under some circumstances.

Weed Killer - Monsanto's Roundup herbicide devastates soils, rendering them contaminated and unable to produce healthy crops using traditional (or organic) farming methods. Once a farm plot is destroyed with Roundup, that farmer is forever enslaved to a chemical-based farming protocol. It's unhealthy, it's a disaster to the environment, and the actual crop yields are LOWER than with organic farming, over a period of five years or more.

Bombay Road Noise - Noise from road vehicles produces disturbance to more people than from any other source of noise. Moreover, traffic noise has been increasing over the last few decades due to increased density of road traffic. Modern road develop¬ments encourage higher speeds which, in turn, lead to greater noise volume. Traffic noise has other insidious effects. For example, continual exposure to traffic noise may accelerate age-induced deafness.

Dying Whale - Tilikum, the Killer Whale, never set out to become the symbol of an industry, a relationship between man and nature, gone wrong. He was just a wild killer whale calf in an ocean world whose life was suddenly interrupted and derailed by the human world. And the thing that most saddens me about Tilikum's plight, and his eventual death, is the life he never lived. I have been never able to see a wild killer whale without thinking of Tilikum, languishing mostly alone in his tank in Orlando.

Urban Wild Fire - Wildfire season is upon us, and this year is shaping up to be another inferno, especially out West. Unfortunately, rampant blazes are increasingly becoming the rule rather than the exception. It's a trend that comes as no surprise for many climate scientists, who have predicted that one of the effects of global warming will be increased heat waves and drought throughout the Western United States. So, it could be that the worst wildfires in U.S. history are the ones that have yet to happen.
