Practical Aspects

To this point, the Primal Quests have been described as if your own Quest will be natural and easy. And that is so—but only to a degree, because Quests are not a walk in the park.

If you take any Primal Quest seriously and self-consciously, you surely want to know what you are letting yourself in for. We do not like surprises, and to avoid them we need clarity about factors like:

• source of happiness
• key challenges
• suitable means
• inherent problems
• social effects
• necessities leading to temptations
• how things can go badly wrong.
