Thank you Tammi for reading and commenting.
Hi Karen...your comments definitely resonated with me. I agree with you in that "chaos", the other side of eros, is part of the natural rhythm of life that we don't acknowledge. Similar to the dark shadowy material within ourselves that's usually externally projected. I like your acknowledgement of the block as an archetypal pattern. Like others, once it's recognized and accepted, it will lose its power and obsessive quality. I appreciate your thoughts on the post and look forward to future dialogue.
Thank you Kris. I appreciate your comment :-)
I'm not sure. I found the image online.
Thank you. I appreciate you reading and commenting on the blog. I do agree that it is only through my own wounds and healing, that I can touch and be touched by another's suffering.
I appreciate your comment. Truly seeing ourselves for all that we are is often challenging, but in the "picking of the scab", we can allow the bleeding that often cleanses and heals the wound.
I agree with you Matt, in that the technological advances of our society has impacted our conscious awareness of fantasy and imagination. Some would suggest today's virtual world "is" the new metaphor for our lives, which would make one wonder about the mythology of our times. I think it starts with the not so simple acceptance of "what is" the current cultural archetype, and enlivening that sense of imagination within our individual lives. Sitting with images, paying attention to our dreams and symptoms, are some ways to make space for the metaphorical sensibility that Hillman refers to in his writing. Perhaps in time a new cultural phenomena can be established.
