A few reflective experiences from my childhood stand out as significant: becoming aware of the otherness of particular vacation mornings walking along the beach, an isolated impression of the vaulted arches of a cathedral, the first sighting of the rings of Saturn, realizing the metaphysical nature of the uroborous figure and standing before Picasso's La Guernica. I am sure everyone can recall similar experiences from their childhood that stand out as poignant and meaningful. There is a sameness to these art-type experiences. They provide the aesthetic bearing of an individuation process. Heightened symbolic experiences take on different meanings according to their belief systems and orientation rituals, but they are all examples of similar psychological cultural interchanges. The experiences assimilate us into culture as they provide the incorporating belief systems with a sense of ontological truth.
