Thank you Morgana.............
By the way I love your quote.
In receiving my Dx with As, it was like something was conceived in me that could only be given birth to through writing my book. (A Painful Gift - A Journey of A Soul with Autism, Published by Darton Longman and Todd)
Writing my book near enough killed me, it killed of the my NT persona and my over-identification with my adaptive-self. Analogies of death are so profoundly rich to map the inner-journey I feel.
Go well my friend.
Chris.
Wow, you wrote a book? That sounds pretty interesting...I think I´d like to read it! I´m fascinated by other peoples journeys with autism. Can I order it from Amazon?
Yeah, my quote is from the movie "The Fountain". I liked the quote- (also the movie: lots of visual/symbolic/spiritual elements. It´s one of those movies I watch over and over again). It was said that a Mayan God died a sacrificial death, in order to create the world, which grew through him. I liked that idea, and decided also that it fit with my User Name (Morgana, also known as Morrigan; crone Goddess. Morgaine le Fay, from the King Arthur tales, is an offshoot of the Morrigan). Well, as you can see, I´m also interested in spiritual archetypes...
