| Notes | The Emergence Myth of the Navaho Indians can best be seen as a description of the origin of man and the individual struggle for psychological and spiritual growth. It contains both an Oriental and an Occidental world view; both slow natural growth and spiritual striving; and is especially sensitive to paradoxical human difficulties and achievements. The author combines the perceptions of an artist and a psychotherapist in presenting and interpreting this Myth. She seeks to show in poetic and practical terms the relevance of this Myth to contemporary men and women, supported with examples from her own experience as a psychologists. The interplay of 'light' and 'dark' powers is told in this version of the Myth recorded by Father Haile, and is particularly fascinating as it is told from the 'dark' or 'evilway' side.
