Tok Thompson was born and raised in rural Alaska. At the age of 17, he began attending Harvard College, where he received his bachelorβs degree in Anthropology. He received a Masterβs degree in Folklore from the University of California, Berkeley, and three years later received a PhD in Anthropology from the same institution. After receiving his PhD, Tok engaged in a two-year postdoctoral position with the Centre for Irish-Scottish Studies at Trinity College, Dublin, where he helped launch a new M.Phil. in Translation Studies. He also researched Irish language traditions in County Fermanagh, and taught classes for the University of Ulster.
In the Fall of 2006, Tok came to USC, where he has been teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in folklore and related topics. Additionally, he has taught folklore as a visiting professor at universities in Northern Ireland, Iceland, and Ethiopia. While in graduate school, he co-founded the journal Cultural Analysis: An Interdisciplinary Forum on Folklore and Popular Culture, which he co-edited for 15 years. From 2013-2017 he was the editor for Western Folklore. He has recently published two books: one of his own research entitled Posthuman Folklore (2019) and another (co-authored with Gregory Schrempp) a textbook on World Mythology entitled The Truth of Myth (2020). He currently edits the book series Myth in Theory and Everyday Life for Oxford University Press.

We dont need these phD who think they know everything but know no thing… He said there was no great flood but there is piramids underwater

I enjoy Tok , thanks Alex βοΈπ
Being created in God's image has NOTHING to do with gender…. everything to do with ability to create, feel empathy and compassion, to love
story is how our brains work, how best we learn, how to store information, many layers of information, that will be passed on and last longer then the age of when the story was crafted.
Very interesting conversations! ππ
lil man in mtns' name is Volcan. he forges gifts. if you got one from him, you'd remember it's name and the water you're plunged down into and the bridge. ask thru the love in your heart space. see it, believe and you shall recieve. careful, maybe not like you want , close, depends on intentions. karma is real. good n bad karma., as the universe uses laws of opposites in the laws of attraction, too. secrets are sharable now. it helps one to know who we really are.
This was such an interesting conversation. I could listen for hours. Thank you both!
Abraham brought monotheism to Egypt. This professor needs to read the Book of Abraham in the Pearl of Great Price.
god created us in his image(imagination) we are god,realising thid is when i and the father(infinite aware presence)are one..
here is where the kingdom of god is within aka heaven on earth resting in your true divine god essence..
peeps take ur power back.
dont look to the outer instead go within
I love his knowledge but all of the 'you knows' made me have to turn it off

Iβm curious to know why the guest wonβt address similarities and wants to focus so much on the differences. Sure, there are differences, but whatβs the aversion to making connections?? Understanding this would give great context on his perspective and help me decide if I share it or parts of it.
Film π₯ Electric Dream π was advertised to us yesterdayβ¦ very interesting QE indeed
Fasinating info Guys πThank you Alex πππ
This was differentβ¦sadly

The flood story again comes from the ancient tablets. Why aren't they talking about this? Annu father of Enki and Enlil made the decision to let humans be wiped out, when Nibiru passes it causes massive floods. Humans were causing too many problems. Enki decided to save his favourite human by telling him what was coming…
Need to get Billy Carson back on and talk about the sumerian tablets because this guys energy is off to me
I mean, umm,like, you know, umm, unh, you know, like, unh, like, you know, umm, and unh, right!??π€
We do to much thinking π
Great conversation π.
You can live without an i phone, it's called Samsung. π
hi
There's nothing to be "SORRY"… about… βπ½π―οΈ
Is the audio sped up? I had to look and see if I had it on 1.25 or 1.5x by accident and I donβt. Iβm wondering if something is wrong with my brain right now π Is it just me?
Thanks again
β€
"we are at the cliff stage" yes
Akasha is all data DNA going on coming of previous lives, discover who you are inside or what we find in all religions, philosofy, our soul not bounded by time and space, we are all universal after all, and parts of the whole universe or the divine parts….β€πππππππππππβ
My main takeaway from Adam and Eve is that they both placed the blame on someone else when they were caught "sinning".
Have you ever interviewed Lee Carroll?
As the land moves around Atlantis will rise again although I don't think everyone will be able to go there and it will sink again since its probably caused by unstable plates
Animals definately have souls!
The Ancient Egyptians were Africans, since the Sahara and the country is on that continent.
Thanks Alex
This is one of my favorite episodes β€οΈ Thank you for this one! My kids don't hold strong to reading or writing or most of what they teach in school they say it doesn't matter they seem to know the future will fundamentally be much different in ways we can barely comprehend bc it's so unheard of
Really enjoyed this. Tok talks fast.
Great conversation guy's! Thank you both for sharing this amazing stories today ππ§‘π¦π«π
