WORLD PREMIERE: NeuroMythology - Theogony
written, designed, and produced by Joseph Kelly

What if the Ancient Greek Theogony was never just a creation myth, but a precise map of how consciousness itself evolves?

Tonight I’m releasing the first chapter of my upcoming book NeuroMythology as a fully narrated animated film. Watch as Uranus, Cronus, and Zeus reveal themselves not as random divine rulers, but as three distinct stages in the development of human awareness.

See why Cronus devours his children. Understand what the castration of Heaven really means. Discover how the three brothers dividing the cosmos mirrors the structure of your own mind.

This is mythology decoded through psychology, ancient wisdom meeting modern understanding, 42 minutes that might change how you see both Greek myths and your own consciousness.

Watch the world premiere now:

Something’s been growing at JosephKellyDesigns.com

If you’ve visited before, you’ll notice things look different. If you’re new here, welcome to what I hope becomes a meaningful resource in your personal growth journey.

What’s New:

For the first time, I’m offering direct downloads of my complete Growing Light series. Both ebooks and full-length audiobooks (10+ hours each) are now available through secure checkout on a dedicated page. No third-party platforms. Just practical philosophy and applied psychology delivered straight from me to you.

I’ve also added video synopses for each Growing Light book, giving you a clear sense of what each volume explores before you commit. The remaining narrated and animated chapter videos will be complete and free to watch (both on YouTube and my site) through the end of November.

Fair Warning:

The Courses page remains gloriously chaotic. I’m rebuilding it from the ground up, adding new offerings nearly every day through early December. If you visit and find it looking like a construction zone, that’s because it is one. Your patience while I sort through my own creative mess is genuinely appreciated.

Look who is getting their own polished audiobooks going on sale to the public in less than 7 days from now!

That’s right, my Growing Light series of books will have professional audiobook versions, due to a partnership with ElevenLabs, in less than a week.

Last year, this was not even an option, because the production costs of audiobooks were simply too high and ultimately cost prohibitive, when I looked into them at the time. I’m so excited about this!

Because of this, I will be able to reach even more of an inclusive audience for my books of practical philosophy and applied psychology, an audience that prefers to listen, rather than read. Now I can welcome them into my literary world of personal development just as much as my bookworm friends.

I will post more information and links for ordering these audiobooks, just as soon as they become available to the public. Keep checking in with me and my account, where wonders never cease straight from my limitless and flourishing mind.

Stay warm & Keep growing,
-Joseph

Friends and readers,

Today I’m sharing Chapter 23, and I’ll be honest with you: this one matters deeply to me. We live in a culture that tells us to stay positive, to push through, to get over it quickly. But what if that’s not how healing actually works?

This chapter explores something I’ve learned through my own experience and my work in mental health research: sadness and sorrow aren’t obstacles to contentment. They’re natural emotional weather that, when navigated skillfully, actually contributes to our growth and resilience.

There’s this image from the chapter that stayed with me. The wise gardener doesn’t curse the winter rain that floods the garden beds. She understands that this same water, however destructive it appears in the moment, carries essential minerals from distant mountains and prepares the soil for new growth that could never emerge without this season of dissolution and renewal.

That’s what our difficult emotions can do when we learn to work with them rather than against them. Sadness teaches us what matters most. Grief deepens our capacity for empathy. Sorrow reveals the profound connections that make us human.

The chapter offers something I find rare in personal development work: practical guidance for moving through difficult emotions without either getting stuck in them or rushing past them. You’ll learn emotional weather navigation skills that help you honor what you’re feeling while maintaining access to the contentment that flows beneath the surface, like those deep aquifers we talked about in Chapter 22.

If you’re going through a difficult season right now, I hope this chapter offers you permission to honor what you’re feeling while trusting that healing is possible. And if you’re supporting someone through their storm, may it give you insight into how to offer shelter without trying to fix their weather.

Watch Chapter 23 here:

The complete book is available on Amazon:

May you find the wisdom to work skillfully with whatever emotional weather arrives at your door.

With compassion,
Joseph

“Only The Horses (Everything Must Go)” by Joseph Kelly
You don’t really need me to name them do you?
The say the last man who did that lost his head. 🎃🧐 Their names may not be listed, but the musical inspiration for this digital painting are on the second image, minus Kongos, because they aren’t horses in this metaphorical landscape, duh. 🤣😂

🌈 THE SPECTRUM CONTINUUM: A JOURNEY THROUGH COLOR AND CONSCIOUSNESS 🌈

Friends, I'm thrilled to announce that my visual exploration of color psychology, "The Spectrum Continuum: The Magic of Colour," is now available as an affordable ebook!

This collection takes you on a soul-stirring journey through the visible light spectrum—from the passionate intensity of red to the transcendent wisdom of purple. Each image carries you deeper into the psychological landscape where colors speak directly to our subconscious.

As the book progresses, you'll experience how:
• The fiery energy of RED ignites our primal emotions
• ORANGE embraces us with reassuring warmth
• YELLOW radiates self-identity and creative power
• GREEN nurtures growth and inner comfort
• BLUE plunges us into fascinating emotional depths
• VIOLET elevates us to spiritual insight and intuition

Many readers have shared how these visuals helped them understand emotions they couldn't put into words. The surrealist imagery combined with minimal text creates a meditative experience rather than just a "book."

🎨 **SPECIAL OFFER FOR MY FACEBOOK COMMUNITY** 🎨
