"i experience life as a double helix, as if part were moving in spirals up, and others, or both are moving in spirals down.
so that all the time our life is moving in that spiral
and on the various spirals we go through initiations.
for me, life is a series of initiations, we come to replace where we recognise through our experience, or through our dreams, that life as we have known it has finished.
we have to go through liminal space, either our partner is gone, or our job is gone or we are no longer interested in our job, something has happened that has profoundly changed everything, in that liminal space, we are nobody, we dont know who we are in the future that we are moving into, we do not know what that future is, but somewhere, a sacrifice is made for a higher value, and as we pass through these initiations we come into a greater abundance of life, a greater knowing of ourselves inside, or a greater sense of being the being that unites us into the infinity, to the oneness.
it is essentially our relationship to that great question what is our relationship to the infinite that determines our life it determines the choices we make.
so you see, its a real question and you may think youve got to answer it, but then you come to another level of the spiral, and it breaks out into a brand new question.
so this conscious feeding of the soul, the conscious sacrifices that we make in order to feed the soul, these are the initiation rites that we go through.
