Ritual is a human experience. It is as real as fear and as important as love. A ritual is a myth enacted.
Rituals require forethought, inner directed. Rituals are tools, a guide to a desired way of life.
Rituals assist the requirements needed to change our attitudes and meet the new circumstances, we perceive as a better way of living.
All of these experiences involve altered states of perception, altered sense of time and space. Rituals intensify our values, our belief structures.
Rituals play an important role in all aspects of our lives. It is essential that we live them, rather than follow the worn paths of habit. Habits dull us. Rituals enliven us.
Each of us lives within our personal myth that is made up of what we believe and our view of ourselves. It is a combination of our parents’ beliefs and our social myths.
What do you believe?
Our life is a journey through time, well lived, our life develops a mythical quality. We need to be constantly reminded of this simple fact.
Improving our lives by improving ourselves. When we are willing to change our attitudes to meet the changing circumstances, we are in the right direction.
One of the most potent tools is our imagination, our ability to “see” a picture in our mind and then manifest our creation.
Our ego is necessary for our creativity, compassion and knowing our potential. Changes occur when we look inside ourselves. Teaching the ego to recall the good enriches our lives and is the desired anchor. Alter your attitude and your environment changes.
“Rituals involve symbolic communication and convey ‘this is who I am’. There is often an emotional imprint, once the act is completed. The individual may replay it in memory to capture some of the positive experience.”
“Myths are the mental supports of rites; rites, the physical enactments of myths.” (Joseph Campbell)
