Course Overview

  • The bridge of life stretches between the daily world, where things become divided and stuck and the Otherworld of great imagination and endless potentials. Even as we sleep our dreams serve as a bridge between realms, revealing hidden parts of ourselves and stirring the essential waters of change.

  • In troubled times it becomes important to know that at every threshold there are creative energies waiting to enter the world through us. As everything else seems to fall apart, the deep “knowing self” within us moves closer to the surface and seeks to become known.

  • Personal and collective crises may threaten our habitual ways of being on one level, while opening the doors of vision and understanding on another level. Threshold moments and transformative events can break time open and reframe our entire life, altering its trajectory and renewing its vitality.

  • The inner medicine of the soul is found in the creative middle way which involves the power of becoming; becoming aware of new ways of being as well as coming to know ancient wisdom again. In the timeless moments of change we come to see the world as we are intended to see it and find the genuine aims of our lives.

    • Question 1: Can you speak to the threshold of death as an archetype? How do we cultivate that threshold as a liminal space without fear as a culture and as a world?

    • Question 2: I was really struck by the line of "a false sense of security is the only kind there is." Would you say more about this idea as it seems that so much in the modern world is about finding and holding on to literal security?

    • Question 3: As an artist and writer I've focused upon creative work dealing with the threshold for decades. I'm wondering what you feel the role of art might be in this time?

    • Question 4: Can you speak to the idea that fear is an indicator of where we might individually be aimed, as we stand on the threshold?

    • Question 4: In times of change and uncertainty, the little self can sometimes hijack spirituality and turn the quest for soul into a form of spiritual superiority or narcissism. How can we avoid this and not to follow the little self's false directions?

    • Question 3: The story exemplifies the importance of embarking on a journey to find one's gifts. The journey is often dangerous and arduous. What are some modern versions of the journey that can help one discover their gifts?
