It's been a while since I've posted. Not because I haven't been working on this topic, but because I haven't been able to find anything close to a precise statement or idea to blog about. It's been rather frustrating.
We have a unique household, I think. It consists of 3 adults, all of whom are actively pursuing personal growth and development. In the majority of cases, this manifests through either spiritual pursuits or through management training. Ironically, the two overlap far more frequently and complimentarily than I would have ever thought. Our evening conversations range from new interpretations of the Book of Job to discussions on medieval and renaissance alchemy, to insightful uses of archetypes and the Joseph Campbell material, and on and on.
When our housemate first moved in with us last summer, she would just stare at my husband and me as we carried on our normal conversations. I knew she was vastly intelligent, but she had never really been in company that would accept her unique insights or encouraged her to participate actively. Not to mention, casual discussions on archetypes and whatnot is a learned language and she was learning a whole new language which takes a bit of time. Now she does speak it fluently, and she is not only a participant but a valuable contributer to the household mission of continual growth and development of the Self through conversation, exploration, support and study.
Our housemate has a blog of her own in which she shares her own path. Her latest blogpost is a Lioness post in that she's seeing the changing face of the Feminine, seeing the new archetype and feeling the oldest ones. I rather enjoyed it and am linking it here to share it. I hope you enjoy it as well.
