Overcoming the Dark

A commercial fisherman, Michael Packard, reported that he had a “Jonah and whale” kind of experience. Michael said he was diving off the coast of Provincetown, Massachusetts, when a humpback scooped him up. "I was in his mouth for about 30 seconds before he rose to the surface and spit me out."
“‘Jonah in the whale’ is a mythic story of the hero going into a fish's belly and coming out, transformed. It's a descent into the dark. Metaphorically, the whale represents the power of the unconscious which must be overcome to return to the light of the conscious.” – Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, today I emerge from the dark, unconscious corners of my life. I wake up to my place in the light, fully aware of my spiritual beingness and strengths. I consciously go about my appointed rounds, and simply allow Spirit to be Spirit in me. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
