Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The process of making a man out of a boy is not limited to the conjecture of ancient caves. It exists in modern tribal cultures, and it has survived until very recent times among the Plains Indians of North America.
#2 The most fundamental dynamic in life is the attempt to move from a lower form of experience and consciousness to a higher level of consciousness. We seek initiation into adulthood, into adult responsibilities and duties, and into adult joys and rights.
#3 The boy’s struggle for dominance is often caught up in the wounding of self and others, and it is sadomasochistic. Man psychology is nurturing and generative, not wounding and destructive. In order for man psychology to emerge, there must be a death.
#4 The second essential ingredient for a successful initiatory process is the presence of a ritual elder. In The Emerald Forest, this is the chief and the other elders of the tribe. The ritual elder is the man who knows the secret wisdom, and who lives out of a vision of mature masculinity.

#1

The process of making a man out of a boy is not limited to the conjecture of ancient caves. It exists in modern tribal cultures, and it has survived until very recent times among the Plains Indians of North America.

#2

The most fundamental dynamic in life is the attempt to move from a lower form of experience and consciousness to a higher level of consciousness. We seek initiation into adulthood, into adult responsibilities and duties, and into adult joys and rights.

#3

The boy’s struggle for dominance is often caught up in the wounding of self and others, and it is sadomasochistic. Man psychology is nurturing and generative, not wounding and destructive. In order for man psychology to emerge, there must be a death.

#4

The second essential ingredient for a successful initiatory process is the presence of a ritual elder. In The Emerald Forest, this is the chief and the other elders of the tribe. The ritual elder is the man who knows the secret wisdom, and who lives out of a vision of mature masculinity.

#5

The psychologist Carl Jung found that the deep unconscious of every person is grounded in the collective unconscious, which is made up of instinctual patterns and energy configurations inherited genetically throughout the generations.

#6

The existence of the archetypes is well documented by the dreams and daydreams of patients, and by the in-depth studies of mythology around the world. These figures appear in folklore and mythology, and they just happen to appear in the dreams of people who have no knowledge of these fields.

#7

Men are typically fixated at an immature level of development. When they are allowed to rule adulthood, they act out of their hidden boyishness. When men are not required to grow up, they act out of their hidden boyishness.

#8

The four archetypes of boyhood, each with a triangular structure, can be put together to form a pyramid that depicts the structure of the boy’s emerging identity. The same is true of the structure of the mature masculine Self.

#9

The first, most primal, of the immature masculine energies is the Divine Child. We are all familiar with the Christian story of the birth of the baby Jesus. He is a mystery. He comes from the Divine Realm, born of a virgin woman.

#10

The myth of the miraculous Baby Boy is not the only one in religions. The Christian story itself is modeled on the story of the birth of the Persian prophet Zoroaster, complete with miracles in nature, magi, and threats on his life.

#11

The Divine Child is the archetypal energy that prefigures the mature masculine energy of the King. The man-God Orpheus sits at the center of the world playing his lyre and singing a song that brings all the animals of the forest to him.
