The battle field is symbolic of the field of life in which all creatures survive because of the death of others .

The essence of life is that it leaves by killing and eating. And that is the great mystery That myths have to deal with.

The primitive people that live by killing have to reconcile the psyche to this thing because for them the animals are menifestations of the devine power.
Not only that:they are wearing the skins of the animals,their tents are made out of animal skins,and so they are living on the death of all the time in a sea of blood.

God is a symbol.The connotation of the symbol lies beyond all the naming,beyond all numeration,beyond all categories of though.
One often asks,”Is god one?,or is God many?
These,however,are categories of thought.

Transparent is beyond spcae/time.
All we think is a category of logic bound with space/time.

We can’t thing beyond space time.

All five senses are bound with space time.

God is neither one nor many.
All numbers are category of logic.

It doesn’t teach dying to one’s self, literally suffering the pain of death to the world and its value.
This is a such suicide ,which is symbolic act.It casts off the

psychological posture that you happen to be in at the time.So that you come into a better one.
you die to your current life in order to come to another of some kind.
As Carl Jung says, you’d better not get caught in a symbolic situation.you don’t have to die, really,physically.
All you have to do is die spiritually and be reborn to a larger way of living.
In marriage or in any military or any mission, people wearing new dresses,that are symbolic of psychological transformation.
your psychological center is changed now.
you are acting not for your own interest but for the relationship or a community etc.

This is the stage of life,when Shree Ram departed to the jungle for 12 years.

This is the stage of life,when Lord Krishna has to leave Dwarka .

This is the stage of life,when Buddha has to leave his kingdom and family.

This is the stage of life ,when Moses has to leave their ordinary world.Moses, the symbol of one who goes off alone, leaving his people only to return with a law for them. This is the identical hero journey that we find in all of the old ethnic traditions. Every one of the so- cial orders is finally traced back to the realization and experience of some on of single individual who alone experiences the mystery, passes the test, as it were, and returns with a message for mankind, as in the case of Moses, his coming down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments.

We have the word in English, “at-one-ment” with the father. You remember the story of Jesus lost in Jerusalem when he was a little boy about twelve years old. His parents hunt for him, and when they find him in the temple, in conversation with the doctors of the law, they ask, “Why did you abandon us this way? Why did you give us this fear and anxiety?” And he says, “Didn’t you know I had to be about my father’s business?” He’s twelve years old-that’s the age of the adolescent initiations, finding who you are.

He who is not reborn in water and spirit, can’t enter the kingdom of heaven__jesus Christ

This is the initiation of Prophet Muhammad’s journey from makka to madinah.

If you undergo a spiritual transformation and have not had prepared for it.you don’t know how to evaluate what has happened to you,and you get there terrible experiences of bad trip.

If you know where you are going, you won’t have a bad trip.So this is why it is a psychological crisis if you are drowning in the water where you ought to be able to swim,but weren’t prepared.That is true of the spiritual life, anyhow.It is terrifying experience to have your consciousness transformed.
