What you think was permanent is not.

We have to find the things that are permanently valuable and they turn out to be inside, which is the opposite of what the Western world and the history of the Western world is about.

What we're looking for is in us, but our ego forms to protect us from the dragons.

And then later on, it turns into the dragons.

What saved us early in life will kill us later in life.

We're all here to break through the limitations that we needed to feel safe or to get fed or protected.

And later on, it's exactly those things that keep us like the goldfish that's in the huge ocean and now swimming in the small circle.

The bowl, the glass bowl, which you can even see through, is the ego.

Mythology is not understood in the modern world.

People have substituted history, the story of time-bound things, for mystery, the story of timeless things.

And the myths are a series of lies that reveal the truth.

So the idea of the myth is not that it's factually true, but it's about the facts of life, not the facts of the matter.

And so in mythology, you have all kinds of characters that they're called archetypes that represents what's inside us.

And so I had been exposed to this world at 13.

And at 13, there's enough mental awareness and things like that to get it, but then to integrate it and to live with it becomes a much bigger struggle.

And so in a sense, I could see myself, younger self, standing there with this surprising knowledge and hearing my father, who was always saying, who do you think you are?

And my father had grown up really poor.

He was the youngest of 11 children.

and really poverty circumstances.

And he had to leave school at third grade.
