“There’s no lack of brilliance in the design of either the body or the way it lets go. The system of release is strange, almost reptilian. What you’re doing is helping the body let go of the past. One of the ways the body creates release is by recreating something from the past in order to pull it out of the earth of the body. Otherwise, it stays deep.”

Mountain, because of your elevation, because of your height,
Because of your goodness, because of your beauty,
Because you wore a holy garment,
Because An organized (?) you,
Because you did not bring (your) nose close to the ground,
Because you did not press (your) lips in the dust.[31]
“The other animal that is born too early is the marsupial, the baby kangaroo. These are not Placentals, they stay in the Mother’s womb long enough to grow up. So born at the gestational age of about eighteen days, They crawl up the Mother’s belly into a little pouch. There they attach themselves to a nipple and remain until they are able to get out and walk.
They are in a second womb, a womb with a view.
I think of Mythology as the equivalent organ of man. We need Mythology as the marsupial needs the pouch to develop beyond the stage of the incompetent infant, where it can step out of the pouch and say ” ME, Viola; I’m It”
Now, In order to aid personal development, Mythology does not have to be reasonable, It doesn’t have to be rational, It doesn’t have to be true; It has to be comfortable, like a pouch. Your emotions grow in their until you’re safe to get out. And with the dismemberment of the pouch - Which is something that has happen in our world, you don’t have the second womb. The rational attitude has said “Oh these old myths, They’re nonsense”, It has ripped the pouch to shreds.”
