Seeking to express


"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 two or three 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."   (Deepak Chopra)
