Day 25: ritual
Being English and currently based in New Zealand, the ritual of Thanksgiving is not on my calendar for this year.
But if it is for you - may I take this moment and wish you a ‘Happy Thanksgiving’.
This just in ... Gaping Void talking 'ritual'.
“Ritual is the enactment of a myth. And, by participating in the ritual, you are participating in the myth. And since myth is a projection of the depth of wisdom of the psyche, by participating in a ritual, participating in the myth, you are being, as it were, put in accord with that wisdom, which is the wisdom that is inherent within you anyhow. Your consciousness is being reminded of the wisdom of your own life.”
