Читать книгу Close to the Bone - Jean Shinoda Bolen - Страница 31

In the Greek myth of Eros and Psyche⁵ (Love and Soul), Psyche's story is about the growth of the soul that began with her decision to face the truth and led to her being on her own, challenged to complete four tasks that were initially beyond her ability to perform. Psyche is the Greek word for soul as well as the Greek word for butterfly. Implicit in the name Psyche/soul/butterfly is transformation and danger. The caterpillar enters a chrysalis phase before it can emerge as a butterfly and in the process might not survive.
