Most of us come to our initiation through our dreams. Unfortunately many of us just write them off as nightmares and try to forget about them soon as we wake. Others of us sign divorce papers or four year contracts in our new professions. For a few others it is the new zest for life that is the beginning of the climb off our cities streets. The initiation comes many years too late. For that man on the street Authentic Brian McCann Jersey , the initiation could of been seeing his best friend die from a Heroine over dose.
Initiations are our wake up calls to our adult lives. It is the psychological break from the mother. Youths in Aboriginal tribes of Australia are ripped away from the false security of their mothers as the bull roarers are whirling in the air and the men of the tribe come disguised as monsters with feathers glued to their naked bodies. These men initiated fear which is to be the beginning of the break from the old world of these children into the next of adulthood.
Robin Hood plays throughout the middle ages served this role as well. Traveling gypsies played the part of Friar Tuck to preside over the ritual with a may queen picked to play Maid Marian. The male youth who have come to of age in the spring would all play Robin to consummate their adulthood with the May Queen, Marian. That was the easy part for next they had to overcome the pubescent egos represented by another gypsy playing Prince John. Once the immature ego is conquered the Lion King Richard arrives into the breast of each youth as he becomes an adult. For the Lion is the symbol of solar awakening and rebirth. The Surnames Robins and Robinson that predominate Britain are the children conceived from Robin Hood rituals. Here the youths leave behind the Oedipal lives of their past and enter that of their father's to search out women of their own.
In ancient Cave Bear Cultures, the Men of the tribe would push the initiates through a dark slimy tunnel that opened onto a large expanse where all the secrets of the hunt and adult male life were related to the youths. Then the men passed the youths back out the birth canal into society as adults. The shock and response is to be the same as a squirrel cornered by a bear Authentic Dansby Swanson Jersey , the courage to turn and strike to save its life. The courage in the face of fear to become an adult. No Bishop slap or degree will equal the right response.
"The Problem is not new, for
all ages before us have believed in gods in some form or another. Only
an unparalleled impoverishment of symbolism could enable us to rediscover
In Tropical tribes initiations act much like the British, with one exception.
The copulating of the male youths with the male queen happens on a platform with four beams holding a roof over the others. The last youth who copulates with the may queen is killed with the queen as they knock out the beams and the roof collapses on them. Merging male and female into the life and death cycle. You won't have to die in such a fashion to get the metaphor, but you must die to a way of thinking to become an adult.
Dorothy was never the same after the tornado? Are you prepared to die Authentic Greg Maddux Jersey , the kingdom of god is laid before you. Have you crossed that bridge over the moat through the skull to the castle of your mind? Do you fear the anxiety of Pan as you enter the forest alone. You have to die alone as well as be born again. Will you allow me to kill you? Then read on.....
In life we suffer through many little deaths, the ego deaths. The death that happens to our lives when we move away from home for the first time, the death to the title of husband as we sign the papers Authentic John Smoltz Jersey , the death of our student personas as we accept that degree, and the like. Death happen in many forms and guises. This is represented with the monthly death of the moon and the snake that sheds its skin. Also it is the goddess who can bleed for a week and live. The shedding of the monthly egg, the symbol of the new soul. Women Tom Glavine Jersey , eggs, moon, and snake are ancient revered symbols before mans fall when the Garden of Eden was written. Man had found the power of sperm! In Cambodia during the Vietnam War Phil Niekro Jersey , many Cambodians died from loose bullets falling upon the village as men shot machine guns into the night sky to stop the sky snake from eating the moon. For the phases of the moon at that time of year looks like a giant black snake eclipsing the moon as it passes its jaws around it.
From all of these little ego deaths of the moon, women, and snake comes the death of the soul. The Phoenix rises out of the egg to be burned by fire to rise again from the calcination through another egg. This symbol is the eagle and the lion. To be born again as the eagle is to leave this existence for another Orlando Cepeda Jersey , like Guatama. The Lion is to be born again of the earth as a Bodhisattva The one who can travel between both is the Griffin, the symbol of Christ in his Mercurian role as guardian of secrets. The Lion and the Griffin perform the return. So will you allow me to kill you. Will you enter the tomb in the fashion of Lazarus. Will you allow Christ to free you from your tomb. How long have you been lying in there already?
Now who watches over you as you lie in the tomb. Well of course the women.
