Random Archetype Insights

[Ankh]

While I was meditating last night I was thinking about whether I would really be willing to give up all my worldly attachments should the need arise. Suddenly I saw an image of myself walking through the wilderness with all my belongings tied up in a bundle on the end of a stick. Seeing that made me feel SO GOOD! I was so free! Then all of the sudden my vision was filled with a big crocodile's head and I realized "Oh, I am working with the Fool archetype." So there I was at the edge of a river with this crocodile threatening me and blocking my forward movement. So what did I do? I stepped on the croc's head shutting it's mouth and used it's body as a bridge to cross the river

To me this seemed to mean that those things which seem most threatening to us are sometimes exactly what we need to move forward and that the loss of possessions and attachment can be extremely freeing.

So you made *the* choice, huh? Lucky you!! :p

Thank you for sharing!
