Reached for: Sacred Path Fixation (Rejection)

If I can find the presence that was missing, everything else will finally hold.

It shows up as a restless search for the divine, a teacher or a path or a presence pursued with an addict's intensity, because the first rejection came so early it registered as the universe itself turning away. Whoever or whatever is found gets loaded with the whole unmet need at once. What it asks for is letting one ordinary human bond carry a little of what is being demanded of God.

The Archetypal Form

Hagar, cast into the wilderness with nothing, who found there the God who sees, and named the place for it. The form implies a task: to be found in the ordinary, not only in the vast.
