Today, we turn from mythic battles and cosmic forces to something more intimate— something that has shaped civilizations, shaped communities… and shaped every one of us personally.

Today, we explore the birth of moral law.

Not commandments carved in stone… but the deeper question behind them:

“How should human beings live?”

The fire is warm. Pull up a seat and join us.

Tonight, the fire sounds a little different. A little wilder… a little hungrier.

And maybe that’s fitting, because tonight we explore one of humanity’s oldest, most universal stories: the great conflict between order and chaos.

This isn’t just mythology. It’s psychology. It’s spirituality. It’s the blueprint every civilization used to make sense of storms—both in the sky and in the soul.

Welcome to Firelight Dialogues, where our aim is conversation, not confrontation, and where curiosity sits higher than certainty.

Today, we step back—far back—into the earliest myths humanity ever dared to tell.

This is the digital hearth of Pat Kansoer, a virtual clearing in the Mark Twain National Forest where we gather to bridge the gap between ancient lore and modern life.

The Firelight Dialogues is an inclusive space where all spiritual and religious disciplines are honored and explored. We believe every tradition holds a piece of the human puzzle. However, our compass is set toward a specific destination: Gnosis.

Our attitude is that we’re here for conversation, not confrontation. Take what you need… leave the rest… live and let live… and always, always ask: Where is the life lesson in this?

Pull your seat closer. The fire’s warm. We aren't here to just read the map; we are here to walk the territory.
