Last week’s essay, <a href="https://www.sacredweb.com/p/0d76b781-3ae5-497a-a15a-c633d163f8ca/?member_status=free"><em>The Sea Within: Odysseus and the Geography of the Soul</em></a>, by Mateus de Azevedo, focused on <em>The Odyssey</em> from a perennialist lens. </p><p>This week, we present Charles Upton’s interpretation of both <em>The Iliad</em> and <em>The Odyssey</em> as a cycle of stories. The essay is titled ‘Homer, Poet of <em>Maya</em>’. </p><p>While the story of Odysseus’s Return is a Homeric myth, it expresses archetypes that are universal. In this week’s essay, Upton uses the metaphysical language of Vedic principles to describe the <em>shaktic</em> influences at play within the soul’s spiritual journey, which are deployed to purify the soul (represented by Odysseus), to reintegrate it with Holy Wisdom (Penelope), and to guide it to its spiritual home (Ithaca). </p></div> <p><a href="https://www.sacredweb.com/all/newsletter-homer-poet-of-maya/" target="_blank">- Enlace a artículo -</a></p> <p>Más info en https://ift.tt/1PU4T2V / Tfno. & WA 607725547 Centro MENADEL (Frasco Martín) Psicología Clínica y Tradicional en Mijas. #Menadel #Psicología #Clínica #Tradicional #MijasPueblo</p> <p>*No suscribimos necesariamente las opiniones o artículos aquí compartidos.
