There comes a time in any journey where the newness of life that was brought forth must enter the forest to navigate his or her own path. Shadows are present, which create perilous fears from within. However, as with any emotion, these fears weave a complex web of information created to promote the life journey forward.

In today’s podcast, I explore the shadow of the family home as an archetype from which all Self-Realized journeys begin. In the case of our protagonist, Siddhartha, he is born under the symbol of a falcon, ready to take flight beyond the forest, and engage his destiny at the river that offers sanctuary, yet a means of travel from the place he grew a loved boy.

I hope you enjoy today’s segment, which brings insight into the nature of the ego, self, Self, the Great Mother, the Great Father, river, forest, and the social support systems we must develop to realize our emergent Self.

Namaste, my friends. May blessings find you along your journey to advance confidently in the direction of your dreams.
