Walking the Journey of Life

From the moment we take our first breath, we have begun our journey. This is an experience that will take our entire life to complete - getting to understand who we are and how we fit into the complexities of the living. We are flooded with questions and discoveries, influenced by our own environment and experiences. We are also confronted with experiences that can both positively and negatively impact on our journey. By understanding these impacts, we are able to better understand ourselves and work towards a high quality of living.

While some of us may believe in an afterlife or some other wonderful eventuation, at the end of the day the only guarantee we have is the now. As such, to help us work together in our social environment, we've created guidelines and stories. Some may be true, some may be completely false, but they all have a purpose - to help us understand ourselves.

The purpose of this series is to look at a specific mythological story, to analyse how we can use it to better ourselves and how we interact with our inner being and societal environment to make ourselves 'better people', because in doing so, we work closer towards enlightenment - spiritual peace.
