Whilst in the process of setting up the membership site I have been thinking about a lot of things. Not least myth, and how therapy, at a more advanced level, is an invitation to engage with the truth of the symbols that each individual contains.
In creating the design for the front piece that references each of the 3 courses, I ended up using the image from The Castle card from The Unremarkable Oracle Deck for the Creative Instinct Course. As I began to write the description I found myself slipping into story.
The essence of the story was old, so much so that I expect it is embedded somehow into the very fabric of the cosmos.
It goes something like this…
Beyond the relative safety of the place where you are lies the unknown – the unknown contains both danger and treasure. In order to make whole those parts that are separate, treasures must be sought and the fearful things that dwell there, faced and overcome: Creatures of the shadow and places that require almost inhuman degrees of effort and endurance to reach – this is the call. It will be treacherous and dangerous and it will be painful, but if it is not done, life in the place of relative safety will stagnate, and that stagnation will be a slow death to all things.
So, the choice is yours.
When myth finds a way into story it is because the truth of its image has breached enough souls to be worthy of remembrance.
Everything else is marketing/propaganda.
