Sample Book Insights:

#1 The process of making a man out of a boy is not limited to the conjecture of ancient caves. It exists in modern tribal cultures, and it has survived until very recent times among the Plains Indians of North America.

#2 The most fundamental dynamic in life is the attempt to move from a lower form of experience and consciousness to a higher level of consciousness. We seek initiation into adulthood, into adult responsibilities and duties, and into adult joys and rights.

#3 The boy’s struggle for dominance is often caught up in the wounding of self and others, and it is sadomasochistic. Man psychology is nurturing and generative, not wounding and destructive. In order for man psychology to emerge, there must be a death.

#4 The second essential ingredient for a successful initiatory process is the presence of a ritual elder. In The Emerald Forest, this is the chief and the other elders of the tribe. The ritual elder is the man who knows the secret wisdom, and who lives out of a vision of mature masculinity.
