"The lure of becoming is the women's journey to discover higher
usefulness. If as if the earth herself is calling you to evolve to help
in the time of breakdown and breakthrough, and most important
of all, it is the higher nature in yourself that has rise to fill you
with new capacities and new ways of being."
Jean Houston
(Claire Zammit Women's Visionary Leadership)
John Campbell is articulate about The Hero's Journey, and Jean Houston is very descriptive about the Heroine's Journey. She believes a woman is lured to discover her higher usefulness. When things are falling down around us, women are called to fill themselves with creative living.
Jean Houston challenges us to rise out of where we happen to be to evolve in helpful ways. She attempts to push us out of stagnant waters onto higher ground. What's that? You don't have time? Perhaps, that is the problem, we make time for everyone but our lovely selves.
It is vital for our lives to have a slot of time to enhance our inner creativity. There are endless physical ways ... a quick jog, yoga stretches, barefooted on grass ... and there are numerous mental ways ... visualization, meditation, creative expression. Please find at least 5 minutes to address the higher self as it is as important if not more important than the human self.
