Welcome to week fifty-two, our final week!

This week, we complete A Year of Living Dangerously with a reflection on choosing anything but our life mission, something that is within us from the beginning and doesn't originate in the horizontal world.

Excerpt:

Here in Caravan, I ask, is there a life that makes sense to live that does not include the reason we were sent? Can you conceive of choosing anything but your life mission?”

The man replied, “Depth psychologist James Hillman addressed this question in his book The Soul’s Code. He referred to what he called the acorn principle. I think he is saying the code of our life mission is within us, and like the mighty oak tree is waiting to unfold over time in the course of our life. He wrote that it is inherent in us from birth, like the acorn, and isn’t created by our life in the horizontal world.
