Poetry to Inspire You
Spin
the spin of the diamond
balanced from point to point
the spin of the cube
flat surfaced, from side to side
the spin of the sphere
of spiral design
all spin within, creating
an access line to align
know where you are
be present, attuned
breathe in the emptiness
creation’s perfume

Copacetic
all is agreeable
all is copacetic
delve into this feeling
embrace this edict

Percival
Percival represents the search
a passion? an illusion?
an endless channelled going to?
a compassionate want for fusion?

From Wikipedia:
In 1940 (Joseph) Campbell attended a lecture by Professor Heinrich Zimmer at Columbia University; the two men became friends, and Campbell looked upon Zimmer as a mentor. Zimmer taught Campbell that myth (rather than a guru or spiritual guide) could serve in the role of a personal mentor, in that its stories provide a psychological road map for the finding of oneself in the labyrinth of the complex modern world. Zimmer relied more on the meanings of mythological tales (their symbols, metaphors, imagery, etc.) as a source for psychological realization than upon psychoanalysis itself. Campbell later borrowed from Jung’s interpretative techniques and then reshaped them in a fashion that followed Zimmer’s beliefs— interpreting directly from world mythology. This is an important distinction, because it serves to explain why Campbell did not directly follow Jung’s footsteps in applied psychology.
