The Snake and the Spiral, Finding Your Soul to Soil Story (A Journey in 2-Parts)

"Everything to come was already in images: to find their soul, the ancients went into the desert. This is an image. The ancients lived their symbols, since the world had not yet become real for them. Thus they went into the solitude of the desert to teach us that the place of the soul is a lonely desert." ~Carl Jung
