In almost every tradition, the gods are placed on the mountains - Olympus, Sinai, Fuji. The mountain is where heaven meets earth. In alchemy, the mountain is considered the source of prima materia, containing the raw materials needed for transformation. The ascent of a mountain gives you perspective, expansion, maybe a fleeting peak experience - it literally involves rising up above the earth, but it also means becoming more exposed and losing all of your usual supports and lifelines.

This exercise uses active imagination, a technique developed by Carl Jung for engaging directly with unconscious contents, facilitating genuine psychological transformation.
