The Birth of Ego:
The farmer, as a young boy, accepts the necklace of self-pity,
resentment and fear from the Deep Blue Sorrow. Guayasamin,
(his spirit guide and protector), embodied as the crow, hovers nearby,
reminding the boy that his Spirit Ideal is near and that he doesn’t
have to fall victim to the sorrow’s gift.

Self-pity:
The boy, older now, holds the necklace brought by sorrow, taunted
by his ego, and entangled in self-pity. Guayasamin dives
and swoops, reminding the boy there is another way, that the Spirit
Ideal (“creative abundance”) is always available to him.

|
Resentment:
The boy is now a young man under full assault by his Ego.
Guayasamin, still the benevolent presence that guards his life,
but once unheeded, is seen here to be more remote from him.
|
| |
|
Fear:
The young man (who will become the farmer), is now in the darkest
despair, all but lost to himself, paralyzed by ego and fear.
Guayasamin comes in and lifts the sorrowful necklace from him,
doing what he cannot do for himself.
