The Journey Begins (Cutts)
In my last post (#59: The G*ddess in the Desert), having just embarked on a period of psychic renovation, I was in a state of confusion. Attempting to root out the demons (With the help of a coach and hypnotherapist) had only served to rile them and make them dig deeper into their crevasses. This was an intensely uncomfortable period but one I knew I would come out of better for it. After having knocked down some internal (subconscious) supporting structures I am now in a period of rebuilding (re-integration). I have to say this phase of the renovation project is a lot more enjoyable and far more exciting.
I am nearing what appears to be an oasis in this desert and from here it looks cool and inviting. I can spy lush greenery and a crystal clear pool with light glittering off its surface. I can already feel the security and power in this place. I look forward to bathing in its cool water and sunning myself on a rock.
In his book Synchrodestiny, Deepak Chopra says “In our time here on earth, this individual soul will not be fulfilled unless it completes its mythical quest, which we can think of as the Grand Plan around which our destinies are organized. Inside every human being there is an overarching theme, a template for heroic living, a god or a goddess in embryo that yearns to be born.” (p. 148)
And so it is that I find myself on this quest sometimes racked with the pains of laboring to give birth to this g*ddess. Privileged to be able to participate in this archetypal heroine’s quest.
I am wishing you well on your paths and as always invite you to drop me a line and tell the readers of The Vision Quest Chronicles your story.
