In the Wikipedia entry about The 1936 movie The Petrified Forest, it sets the scene:
Howard, once a British intellectual and writer, now a penniless alcoholic drifter, wanders into a roadside diner in the Petrified Forest area in northern Arizona.
This is the movie that brought Humphrey Bogart to prominence; what a great shadow figure.
What WIkipedia doesn’t include is the information that in knapsack he had one book: Jung’s Modern Man in Search of a Soul, published only three years earlier.
What metaphorical movie! What a statement for the times — that still continues to be true in this soul missing culture….
The petrified forest, as well as much of Arizona and southern Utah are wonderful launching pads to engage our soul. Heck, if one is honest, just about anywhere on this amazing planet is
a good place, to be honest, but some places seem to encourage the introspection to engage the song of myself more than others:)
John: Exactly A good place to search for the Soul. Watch out for Humphrey Bogart/Duke Mantee though. https://jungiantimes.com/jung-soul-moviebogart/
