The Parsifal myth teaches us that experience stimulates deep bodily truths … that urge us to form a personal self. When you know this, you begin a new life, enter a new world. Like Parsifal, you can take on new roles.
William James said that there are the once born and the twice born. The once born are very nice but very uninteresting people. It is the twice born who really understand something and who reconstruct themselves from the ground floor up at some major point … (our society gives all of us the chance) to be twice-born … is to form again our bodied self from our ancestral body
