“I see the vast expanse of esoteric mystery stretching out before me. Its myriad, shimmering threads interlace. They glint softly in a sea of sparkling, silvery light: still, settled and linked. Yet steely strength holds fast those threads that none can break. They weave a prophecy of distant time, and connect us to that which we were, that which we are, and that which we will become.
These are Ariadne’s threads.
They lead us back in time through the mystic labyrinth into our ancient psychic core. In the labyrinth, we encounter demons and souls. Authenticity is tested. We can only proceed when we have learned to speak Psyche’s language; learned also to ask the right questions of her. We move deeper towards the light that is transcendent to experience something about which nought should be said, as it is intensely personal, and yet it is also trans-personal.
Always, there is a message. It is a message from the collective soul of our ancestors; a message from the past to the future.”
