An adult should escape from this mother-world by a new birth, but sometimes the mother attraction
is so powerful that youth cannot proceed to gain the freedom of maturity.
A son too tenderly loved by his mother may remain psychologically enclosed with her love, uite

what they see. If they do not speak of it, they may in fact go crazy from carrying alone a burden of
symbolic materical that belongs to culture as a whole, material that could heal our social wounds if
we received and understood it.
Certain times in the life of the individual are like windows into the place of the big dream, revealing
glimpses of mysterious threads that bind our destinies one to the other and make meaningful
