Even as we are fearful, fascinated, and repelled by the mysteries of our unconscious, a glimpse of something beyond propels us toward our deeper spirit. That source to discover comes from within us.

The internal/external crisis and failures bring the ego to its knees. Our current ambitions and ideals appear to disintegrate, to fragment. We cannot work. We cannot relate. Now our unique spirit, lying in a dense, dark pool of the unconscious, lifts up, and we recognize from deep within a source of richer material...the vital, creative, expressive, primary material. This richer source is vague, weak at first, but it is the beginning essence of transformation. It is rarely a lightning bolt. There is first a small awareness, then more powerful intuition, and finally the desire to act on what we know. Transcendence, as fragile as the wings of a new butterfly, moves gently. The mystery of the spirit exposes itself to new light. Love, work, play, and creativity, fragmented and damaged, on another level, are in transition!
