“Everything changes and no thing abides.” Heraclitus

I’ve devoted the last two podcasts to the Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone, and the connection between the life of the soul and the underworld initiation.

These podcasts generated a lot of comments and questions about Greek ideas of the underworld, and fascination with the underworld experience. 

Whether you are intrigued or frightened by the prospect, the image of the underworld remains a potent metaphor for our descent into the deepest mysteries in human life.

So how is this trip made successfully, and what more can we glean from the Greek perspective?
