Course Overview

  • The human soul is mythic by nature and each person carries the thread of an essential plotline that tries to become conscious in the course of life. Our inner myth involves a core imagination that has the power to orient our life and move our soul towards its innate destiny. This in-born code of the soul provides us with a gradient or guideline that can aim our energy as well as protect our lives. In addition, the inner myth becomes our personal link to the power of transformation and also our secret connection to the heart of nature.

  • Although each soul bears the seeds of a unique pattern trying to unfold, an outer drama is needed to reveal the story within us. At each critical juncture in life, the story of the soul tries to break through and become more conscious to us. At this critical time on Earth, the outer drama also involves the transformation of all levels of life. So the stage is set for a collective transition based upon the awakening of the genius nature in many people.

  • When enough people transform their lives, culture transforms as well. The issue becomes how to envision the world in new ways that contribute to the re-imagination of human culture and the healing of nature. There can be no better time to learn the pattern set within our souls and claim the mythic thread that brought us to life to begin with.

    • Question 2: If we find we did not live the life we thought we came here to live, what shall we do in our later years?

    • Question 3: Do you think the lack of initiated elders in our world today, and the lack of connection between youth and elders contributes to so many people struggling to find meaningful inner threads?

    • Question 4: As we walk our soul path, how would you describe the ability to know when we’re properly connected to the path and our soul's destiny? How does it differ from just a good decision?

  13. 13

    • Question 1: Can you elaborate on the meaning at the end of the story where the father states that it is too bad you came today, the day of maggots, because that means everything you do will be a struggle, and not successful?

    • Question 3: As parents, how do we become aware of our pathologies and try not to pass them on? Assuming that we will pass some on, even if we try not to, how can we help the next generation by at least leading them on to a somewhat better path?

    • Question 4: How do we, or can we ever, end the cycle of the wounds being activated along with the revelation of gifts? Is this a realistic goal?
