This document summarizes the myth of Psyche and the four tasks she had to complete. The four tasks were: 1) sorting a pile of mixed seeds, 2) retrieving the Golden Fleece, 3) filling a flask from the river Styx, and 4) returning from the underworld with a box of beauty ointment from Proserpina. After completing these four tasks, Psyche became immortal. The document ends with reflections on educating one's personality, sacrificing something to access higher aspects of oneself, and replacing inertia with conscious action.
