In fact, just this morning I was just thinking about the little boy, Icarus, who we met at the top of the Pyramid of the Sun. In the Icarus myth the yang (masculine) and yin (feminine) principles are symbolized in their extreme forms. For me, the message in the myth is not that we can’t or shouldn’t channel the archetypal forces, rather it portrays the balance that must be maintained, “flying” not too high and not too low. Dedalius was teaching Icarus about a more levelheaded or middle way. For me this means discipline and patience working in harmony with inspiration and imagination. Our journey to Teotihuacan reinforced this idea for me — the balance of sun and moon and what I need to do to achieve more balance.
