Eternity is a dimension of here and now. The divine lives within you. Live from your own center. Your real duty is to go away from the community to find your bliss. The society is the enemy when it imposes its structures on the individual. On the dragon there are many scales. Every one of them says "Thou Shalt." Kill the dragon "Thou Shalt." When one has killed that dragon, one has become The Child. Breaking out is following your bliss pattern, quitting the old place, starting your hero journey, following your bliss. You throw off yesterday as the snake sheds its skin. It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.
You can find this passage in Joseph Campbell’s fantastic book — Reflections on the Art of Living.
Individuation is an individual and lonely experience, critical for life.
Then does hole where the one scale was missing say "Thou Shall Not?"
