The psyche is the inward experience of the human body, which is essentially the same in all human beings, with the same organs, the same instincts, the same impulses, the same conflicts, the same fears. Out of this common ground have come what Jung has called the archetypes, which are the common ideas of myths.

An old Apache storyteller reminds us

If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.

The purpose of the journey is compassion. When you have come past the pairs of opposites, you have reached compassion.

The experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life. Heaven is not the place to have the experience; here is the place to have the experience.

All life stinks and you must embrace that with compassion.

There is perhaps nothing worse than reaching the top of the ladder and discovering that you’re on the wrong wall.
