Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to reveal the modern perception of the world, characterized by the accumulation of facts and events that cause confusion and distrust in the creative personality of new contradictions, discrepancies with real life, forming his creative thinking in a mythological way, based on combinations of different levels of perception. The methodology of the study is based on the studies of R. Bart, K. Bremon, AJ Greimas, K. Levi-Strauss, J. Lotman, W. Propp, P. Reeker, and other scholars who have considered the principles of narratives in the mysteries of the archaic era in historical and cultural orientation, to identify in them common or different from modernity. Narrative concepts of contemporary Ukrainian composers are also considered in the context of research by M. Bakhtin, E. Benvenist, B. Gasparov, E. Paduchev, and others, as a ratio of myth and narrative, given the commonality of metaphor, imagery, and symbolism. Scientific novelty. It is established that the narrative message is an expression of the authors 'desire: to return to the public space the introverted ethos of mystical suggestions of ancient erotic myths, the revival of ancient mythologized historical images, mythological narratives of the "living soul of nature ", synthesis of avant-garde ideas and pagan folklore, pagan mythology and secret rites of Carpathian molfars (magicians), the formation of narratives that are not related to any confessional style of Christian churches, expressing their own understanding of the concept of spirituality, etc. Conclusions. It is found that the narrative understanding of the world in all areas of civilization: in myths, legends, fairy tales, music, cinema, etc., is based on the formation of certain areas of personality behavior as a result of interaction with the world. Completion of this process is marked by the structuring and awareness of one's own "I" as a self-narrator, developing in the social environment in a continuous creative movement.
