Description
"The Quest" is about the journey itself. It is about realizing that all answers come from within, and the way to access those answers is in learning to frame the right questions - the question creates context, which in turn gives the appropriate answer actual meaning that can then be transmuted from simple information to applicable, profound wisdom. In every quest, the goal (realization) is always at the end of the journey - the distant Mountain peak represents that goal - the Wizard represents the Seeker; the wisdom to choose - the White Bear (Polar Bear) represents the Guide; that better aspect of our nature that gives us hope, and symbolizes our connection to a higher/spiritual self that can be realized.
