OMG!!!! This was such an inspiring beautiful conversation!! So rich i had so many sparks going of illuminating experiences I have had and new thoughts beginning to crystallize afresh. A big yes! was around spirit and soul. I first read Hillmans Peaks and Vales after a decade long immersion in Christianity in my twenties (my faith slowly dissolved as I reached 30) and it was incredibly helpful. There was such a focus on rising up, transcending and a sort of blurring or together of soul and spirit and in practice a devaluing of the soul experience. Inevitably the soul would emerge in "bad", so called "sinful", distorted ways. Hillmans perspective was so liberating. The other thing I loved was the sense that something new is emerging in the great fractious polarization that's occurring right now. It's a precursor.....I too am seeing many signs of the new BUT its so hard to stay focused when there is so much ugliness. I am hopeful. Here I follow Archetypal astrology, but I will leave that rave for now. Keep opening doors to Hillman...he was a great gift to the culture.
Okie❤Thought it was a sign .Can't wait ,❤
