"Having
been brought up in a mythical culture, I was very familiar with the
different motifs and themes that were encapsulated in say a mythical
being, whether it was Lord Shiva, or Ganesha, or a Goddess. Just
thinking the name of that person the whole story was evoked. Carl Jung
called these archetypes. Archetypes are primordial encapsulated stories
or mythologies and they are in the form of a seed in consciousness. When
you plant that seed in consciousness, that archetypal seed, that
mythical journey, then that seed starts to sprout. And as it sprouts,
the patterning forces creates the situations, circumstances, events, and
relationships for the unfolding of the story. I say select 2 or 3
heroes or heroines in mythology, or religion, or history and then ask
these mythical beings to incarnate through you. And then don't be
surprised when your see situations, circumstances, coincidences,
synchronicity, and relationships finally show up that actually are part
of the story you have been seeking to express."
