Alfie spends time recuperating in a pastoral sanitorium, where he befriends Harry, a fellow patient, a family man devoted to his frumpy wife Lily. Alfie makes out with one of the nurses, disgusting Harry. Alfie thinks nothing of cheating, lying, stealing, or taking other men's wives. When Alfie flippantly suggests that Lily might be cheating on him, Harry angrily confronts Alfie about his attitudes and behaviour. Yet, when you choose to discover the particular future that calls to you uniquely to unfold and bring it into being … you are beyond flow, and living the full expression of who you are, and I’ll let the great mythologist, who was with me at the start of this part of my own journey, finish this for us …

The narrative follows a young, womanising man leading a self-centred life, focused on his own enjoyment until events force him to question his uncaring behaviour, his loneliness, and his priorities. Alfie cheats on numerous women, treating them with disrespect, using them for sex and domestic affairs. He frequently breaks the fourth wall, speaking directly to the camera, narrating and justifying his actions, despite broad contradictions.BAFTA Awards: Film in 1967".

It has now been 14 years since I lost that job in 2009, and I never did find another job. And that is what started me writing on my blog that I created on WordPress in the summer of 2010. It started off as an effort to understand why I couldn’t find work, but after the first year I gave up on that topic, and it turned into what is now over 800 posts on a variety of topics written from a Christian perspective, and I am still publishing on it. Cher re-recorded the song for the closing credits of the 2004 remake of Alfie, but it was dropped in favour of a version by Joss Stone.

I developed my expertise at the intersection of mythology, phenomenology, practicality and performance … the way that we, as humans, build lives that allow us to achieve what we desire and to live a life we hold as worth living as we do. This, I can assure you, goes far beyond the accumulation of wealth, truth be told I can tell you that there are myths in every time, place and culture that point out the profound cost of pursuing wealth, paid in full only with the sacrifice of one’s life.
