The great love stories from religious scriptures, mythology, movies and fairy tales are actually metaphors for our inner lives. It is that beauty within ourselves that is sleeping and needs to be awakened. We are under a spell of materialism that has made us beastly, which only beauty can conquer. The quest for the Holy Grail is an inner journey to find and recapture that better part of ourselves. The Hermetic Marriage of the Sun and Moon; Orpheus and Eurydice, Isis and Osiris - even the characters in Pretty Woman - all point to the Romance of the Soul that we all must awaken and marry within.
