What then is humble Psyche like at her origin. A passing breath, a floating seed, a bird which emigrates from life to life, beaten by the winds. And nevertheless from shipwreck to shipwreck, across millions of years, the Soul has become the daughter of God and recognizes no other home than eternity. What is the Divine Psyches situation in earthly life. From the moment it painfully awakes in the dense atmosphere of Earth, the soul is entwined in the folds of the body. As it develops it needs the flickering light of Love. — James Hillman
