The Great Initiation
This is a powerful take on the present situation. According to Rick Tarnas we are going through a kind of 'Çollective' initiation or rite of passage, and he talks about some of the qualities that might be needed at this time. "Perhaps we, as a civilization and a species’' he says, ‘‘are undergoing a rite of passage of the most epochal and profound kind, acted out on the stage of history with, as it were, the cosmos itself as the tribal matrix of the initiatory drama. What seems to be unfolding is not only a recovery of the soul of the world, the anima mundi, but a new relationship to it. Something new is being forged."
