“We will not meet our maker inside a world that we have made...”
We cannot truly know ourselves without knowing the living Earth, for it is the ground of our being. The fire of the sun burns within our cells. The wind gives us life with each breath, and our blood reflects the chemical composition of the great oceans. Every molecule of our bodies has come from the natural world.
Nature is the visible face of the spirit, and our nature and spirit will only be found within, and not apart from her.”

“There are two important questions: Where have we come from... and where are we going? The myth of modern psychology -- its focus and truth -- is that our lives are determined by our past: our personal history, wounds and childhood experience. The myth of the ancient world -- its focus and truth -- is that our lives are, or can be determined from another place: our future or destiny, if we follow the voice of the spirit, the calling of our soul.”

“There are two great mythological themes that weave throughout human history: the heroic and shamanic journeys. In the former, the hero journeys out of the ordinary world into a realm of primal forces, finding and facing monsters and allies in a quest for healing.
In the latter, the protagonist enters another order of reality, a landscape of mystery and power to be pulled apart and put back together in a new and more powerful way.
These great stories remind us that the soul is not accessible merely through the rational mind. The thinking intellect is a small part of the larger self. The soul makes its appearance known in dream and deep imagery, in feeling states (dark or light) that transcend the usual boundaries of the self, and in the sacred time and space accessed in ritual and ceremony.
The entrance to this vibrant territory lies in another way of seeing, a creative and active quality of perception that engages our full capacity, across the threshold where mind, body, and emotions merge within a path of heart.”
