November 29 | Original Love: Stories To Heal the Earth – Celebration Service
Speaker: Glenn Aparicio Parry
Original love is love from the origin, or Source, and as such, transcends any limitations of time or space. It is love that has always been with us, love that is timeless and whole.
Original love stories may be old, but they are still relevant today. The ancient myth of Psyche and Eros, often thought of as merely an erotic love story, is actually a guiding myth for our times. Psyche proves herself by solving four tasks assigned to her by Aphrodite, the Goddess of Beauty, and solves all of these tasks by employing allies from the natural world. Psyche doesn’t represent our individual soul, but the World Soul (Anima Mundi). It is Mother Earth that moderns are being called to remember and protect. It is often said today that we need a new story to heal the Earth, but arguably we only need a better understanding of the original, old stories (our original instructions).
GLENN APARICIO PARRY, PhD, is a two-time Nautilus award-winning author of Original Thinking and Original Politics, the first two thirds of the trilogy that preceded his new book Original Love: The Timeless Source of Wholeness. He writes from a remote location in Placitas, NM, where he lives amid wild horses, coyote, deer, bobcat, and mountain lion with his wife Tomoko, dog Momo, and cat Cappuccino.
