“In broad outline and in detail, the life of Jesus as portrayed in the gospels corresponds to the worldwide Mythic Hero Archetype in which a divine hero's birth is supernaturally predicted and conceived, the infant hero escapes attempts to kill him, demonstrates his precocious wisdom already as a child, receives a divine commission, defeats demons, wins acclaim, is hailed as king, then betrayed, losing popular favor, executed, often on a hilltop, and is vindicated and taken up to heaven.” ChildrenJesusWinningHeavenTakenAtheismDivineBirthKingsHeroLosingDefeatDetailsPositive AtheismFavorsDemonBroadsBetrayedInfantOutlinesArchetypeAcclaimPrecociousVindicated Author:Robert M.

“I think mothers and daughters are meant to give birth to each other, over and over; that is why our challenges to each other are so fierce; that is why, when love and trust have not been too badly blemished or destroyed, the teaching and learning one from the other is so indelible and bittersweet. We daughters must risk losing the only love we instinctively feel we can't live without in order to be who we are, and I am convinced this sends a message to our mothers to break their own chains, though they may be anchored in prehistory and attached to their own great grandmothers' hearts.” ThinkingGivingFeelsHeartMayMotherOrderChallengesBreakRiskTeachingBirthMessagesLosingDaughterConvincedDestroyedChainsWho We AreGrandmotherFierceOnly LoveBittersweetMother And DaughterTeaching And LearningLove And TrustIndelibleGreat GrandmotherPrehistory Author:Alice Walker
“Fear of pain has resulted in many women losing sight of birth as normal and natural, and of themselves as powerful and capable. Labor is an opportunity for women to learn about themselves and discover the strength and wisdom inherent in their bodies.” BodyPainOpportunityNaturalPowerfulBirthNormalCapableLosingLaborSightInherentStrength And Wisdom Author:Deepak Chopra
“We are on the verge of losing the traditional idea of the family, especially in Japan, where the declining birth rate shows no signs of stopping. This is precisely why I think we should consider with a sense of urgency what the new image of "family" should be like, and not fall into the nostalgism that days gone by were just better.” ThinkingShouldIdeasShowsFallGoneBirthLosingRateTraditionalJapanStoppingUrgencyVergeSense Of UrgencyBirth RateDays Gone By Author:Mamoru Hosoda
“Motherhood is this sort of "curtain lifting" of tremendous power that we have individually as women. It's tremendously freaky to have a human being grow inside your body and eventually turn into a human being, and then birth that human being, and then have them be separate from you. Those things are scary. It's also really, really scary to face the idea of losing a child and losing someone you love more than you've loved anything before. All of those things are innately really terrifying, and what it does to me is bring me to a direct kind of confrontation with my human vulnerability.” KindChildrenBirthLosingDirectScaryMotherhoodVulnerabilityLiftingConfrontationOne You LoveLosing SomeoneFreakyReally Scary Author:Karyn Kusama
