The Descending Path - Mat Licatta

The path of the heart is not only one of transcendence - ascending
and rising above - but also one of descent: Into the underworld,
earth, and shadow, and into relationship with the figures of the
somatic unconscious.

The lunar way isn't as clear as its heroic or solar counterpart.
It is unclothed: of fixed concept, a precise map, and knowing
how it's all going to turn out.  It has a way not of confirming but
of dismantling the spiritual persona. 

No promises, no guarantees, no mythical tales of some "permanent"
state of enlightenment or unending transcendent experience, 
where we can remain safe and free from the reorganizing fires of
love, which burn through the known to reveal essence.
