The contract
Sacred Contracts · 2001
A sacred contract is the assignment you arrived with — the archetypes who walk with you as gatekeepers of a higher purpose. The wound is not proof that the contract failed. The wound is often the seal. You do not have to like the terms to live them with eyes open. Naming the pattern is already a retrieval of power. Then the body can stop carrying the whole myth alone.
