“I suspect you have to go down into the underworld for a while. But you have a choice about how it will play out. You shouldn’t wait for some random goblin to come along and pull you down into the miserable abyss. Instead, be proactive. Shop around for a more useful abyss — a womb-like pit with half-decent accommodations and a good learning environment — and go there under your own power. That way you won’t have to slog your way through musty fogs and creepy pests and slimy muck. You’ll keep your suffering to a minimum and attract adventures that are more intriguing than demoralizing.”

- Oh, Rob, you’re so good…

I’m pretty sure one of my grad school readings was by this Mihaly guy… oh no, wait- I think he actually attended a small group class of ours or something too. That “Creativity” book might be worth checking out.

Rob interprets the quote as a cue to stretch yourself and further align oneself with “cosmic flow.”
