“From eyes shut to eyes opened, mouth closed to mouth open, every night we go through this journey, and yet what happens between the going under and coming up is so little valued.... Memory makes initiation, and individuation (the modern parallel) possible. It is essential for psychic growth to throw oneself into the flow of unconscious life, not to forget, not to diminish; not to demean or degrade as "mere fantasy" one's adventures in the other world... This urge to express what was seen and heard beneath the surface of ordinary reality requires a "language of the soul.”
― Nor Hall, The Moon and the Virgin: Reflections on the Archetypal Feminine
