All things spiritual

I apologise to all of you who are not into spirituality for this post, but there are some who may find this interesting.

For a year or so now Rosy and I have had this feeling that the universe has been conspiring to have us try out this lifestyle. We don't know why, but we went with what we felt. I mean if you don't try these things you end up with a lot of regrets. Anyway, a dear friend of mine sent me a dvd, which I received yesterday. It wasn't on a subject matter that I thought was relevant to Rosy and I, but it did have something very interesting to say. It's about the four great services of myth. And that the individual or community has a living connection with
1/ Nature
2/ The tribe
3/The Cosmos
4/Sense of personal identity

Well you can't get more involved with nature than staying on the beach in a little area of forest, being mindful of what resources you utilise.

And you can't get more involved in a tribe than other caravaners and people who stay in caravan parks. They are so friendly and help each other at the drop of a hat. Everyone is full of stories. Sitting around their campfires, reminising about the one that got away.

Rosy and I have be working with our own unconscious content for a number of years now. Yes we do believe there is something bigger than the individual. In the dvd the speaker quoted,
Yes, the world is bigger than "I" am.
Yes, the world is more powerful than "I" am.
Now spend the next 8 or 9 decades getting used to it.

And last of all, Rosy and I are discovering ourselves and who we are meant to be - not what our parents and society thought we should be. Our own sense of personal identity. Mainly through dream analysis and lots of communicating with each other.

So as you can see the similarities to our current lifestyle fit into the four great services of myth. We had never known that this theory existed and it sort of explains what has been guiding the both of us in our endevours. Interesting hey?
