“Contact with the sacred occurs in the stillness of the heart and mind. If there is any real destination to the spiritual quest, it is this point of silence, the middle of the spiral, the center of the self. ... The only map that does the spiritual traveler any good is one that leads to the center.” IfsMindHeartDoeRealSelfSpiritualSpiritualitySilenceMiddleSacredContactMapsDestinationStillnessQuestsTravelerHeart And MindSpirals Author:Christina Baldwin
“On the pilgrim's path each man must become Moses, going on a vision quest to some mountaintop and returning with the ten or twenty commandments that he holds sacred. So long as we obey or break the rules that have been set up for us by the Giants - Parents and other Authorities - we remain good or bad children. Growing into the fullness of our humanity means that we become co-authors of the rules by which we will agree to have our lives judged.” MenMeanChildrenLongHas BeensHumanityParentVisionBreakPathOur LivesGrowingTenAuthorityTwentiesAgreeSacredGiantsJudgedQuestsCommandmentsFullnessMosesPilgrimGrowing Children Author:Sam Keen

“Our lives can be considered a sacred quest. It is a quest which may have begun in this lifetime or many lifetimes before. It is a quest to find ourselves: who and what we really are. To do this we must first cease to pretend to be what we are not. We must cast away our Persona or mask. We must be prepared to confront the Shadow, that which we are and rather were not. Only then can we unify our conscious and unconscious minds and so give birth to the hidden Sun - the Self.” LifeGivingMindFirstsMaySelfSunOur LivesBirthConsciousShadowSacredPreparedLifetimeCastsCeaseUnconsciousMaskQuestsBe PreparedPersonaUnconscious MindCast AwayConscious And Unconscious Author:Vivianne Crowley
“We can see from the experience of Odin that the image of the tree was the template within which all of the sacred world could be apprehended. The tree was the framework within which one "flew" to these Otherworlds. And since the exploration of sacred space was also a quest into the nature of human consciousness, the tree was regarded as an image of the ways in which we, humans, are constructed psychically. It was a natural model for our deepest wisdom, our highest aspirations.” WorldWayHumansNaturalSpaceConsciousnessTreeHighestModelsSacredAspirationExplorationQuestsFrameworkFlewHuman ConsciousnessOdinSacred Space Author:Brian Bates
