IMAGINAL JOURNEY
I am a wind on the deep waters.
I am a fish, I bear the soul through the dark waters.
I am a tree, I suck the poison and transform it to life.
--Asphodel P. Long
"If you take me down now, I shall become more powerful than you can ever imagine."
-- Obi Wan Kenobi to Darth Vadar in "Star Wars"
Yes, let yourself be taken down. Just a short post today-- a potent idea I'll go into detail with next time. Whether this idea intrigues or repulses you, the reality is that life is full of experiences that take us down. The truth is, letting ourselves be taken down gives us the first possiblity to drink poison that is actually a very powerful healing, transformative medicine. Becoming the alchemist of your own life who can drink this particular poison is like being a condor. This bird is able to eat stuff that would kill the rest of us and uses it for life giving nourishment. I promise you that you can do the same. I'm doing it myself right now.
