While I was working on the Phoenix, it began to communicate in its own way, in the form of a hissing sound, the same you hear when a gaZ leak occurs.

This inner struggle is the true heart of the heroic journey, for it is by confronting and integrating our shadow that we discover our most authentic and powerful potential.
