- we're born into a family - a cast of characters in a play... our parents are the king and queen of the castle and we are the prince or princess;
- something happens to "wound" us... if we had no "wound" to heal there would be no point to this journey/experience in this reality - we need to heal the "wound" to get back to remembering that we are Divine Source... it's part of the paradox - having to forget to remember!
- we are banished from the castle/kingdom for some reason... maybe there's a family feud, jealousy, sibling rivalry, we're challenging authority or we just are driven to leave by an immense internal pressure that will not be denied;
- we wander lost and alone through dark, unknown, scary places, without the usual supports that we used to help keep up the illusion of being comfortable and secure;
- we encounter demons and dragons - life challenges, our own inner pain, circumstantial hardships - that we have to slay (overcome) if we want to keep journeying/reach our destination;
- and we discover the weapons (qualities) we have within us that we can/must use to vanquish the monsters... love, courage, faith, constancy, strength, kindness, humility, fortitude...
- we conquer the demons and find our own unique treasures - our true selves (though it might not at all look like what we expected 'treasure' to look like!)...
- and we return in triumph to the kingdom, welcomed back (like the prodigal son) to take our rightful place as heirs to the throne or to wear our crown as the new king/queen...
and that's what it's all about - both in our own lives and in the journey of humanity!!!
