"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)
