| The Integral Quest of Becoming Ourselves |
“Creation myths are of a different class from other myths, hero myths or fairy tales for instance-for when they are told there is always a certain solemnity that gives them a central importance; they convey a mood which implies that what is said will concern the basic things of existence, something more than is contained in other myths. Therefore, one may say that as far as the feeling and emotional mood which are companies them is concerned, creation myths are the deepest and most important of all myths. ” Marie Von Franz
There is a certain solemnity in the room between me and my patient when we come closer to that sacred place within, that has been protectively hidden and held safe from harm or misuse. There are occasions when I am so sensitive and resonant to that contact and times when I have missed my chance; gone astray. The search back often begins within me. Finally if I am so fortunate I come upon the threshold I walked by before and I humbly try again.
