Key Points Learned From Myths

1. Spiritual adventure must have a question to answer. If you have a question - all your choices have a base
2. Spiritual adventure is full of hazards and obstacles - this is the way to improve
3. Difficulties either break you or make you stronger
4. When you feel the defeat - you can call to the soul, and the soul will show you the way to the best results
5. "Replace" is sidestepping, we are looking to "find"
6. Secret-keeping is an enemy to the phyche
7. "We will have another episode, then another, in which there will be opportunity to change course, to see and do differently—and better." - human life is longer than a myth and gives us chances to change the story.

"The idea, since forever, has been that story is a conveyance, a vehicle, to use in order to think, to move forward through life. At the end of a life that has meaning, the point is not that one is perfected, but that one will still carry a view of self and the world that is divine—and not just some kind of lazy drift. The point is to have enough stories that guide —that will allow life's closing act to end with one's heart still bright, despite the gales that have passed through it —so that it can be said that one has lived with spiritual audacity."
