The answer in the story of King Arthur and the Holy Grail is this:
They all decide to go off, and they all look at the forest. Each knight sees where the forest looks the darkest to him. And that is where he starts.
That is wisdom. I learned that from Carl Jung: In sterquiliniis invenitur — that which you most need to find will be found where you least want to look.
But what is so interesting — and I did not expect this — is that if you peer into the darkest dark, you find the brightest light, and I never expected that. But that is what happened. I thought, “Oh, this is horrible. Horrible even beyond what I could comprehend.”
But the light that can overcome that exists. It is actually real. And I think the instinct we have manifests itself within us as meaning.
