In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was a cunning king who defied the gods, twice cheated death, and thought himself cleverer than the divine order. For his arrogance, he was condemned to a unique and brutal punishment: to push a massive boulder up a steep hill, only for it to roll back down each time he neared the top. Forever.
Sisyphus is often seen as a symbol of futility, but he also represents something deeper: the eternal battle of growth. His task is endless. He cannot escape it. And in that way, he mirrors the journey of consciousness. No matter how many lessons we integrate, how many stages we complete, or even how high we rise, we always find ourselves facing a new incline.
Even ascension doesn’t mean rest. It means new territory, new tests, and more refined work. The boulder is always there.
This myth asks us: Will we resist the climb, curse the cycle, dread the effort? Or will we learn to meet it with presence? With love? The path doesn’t end, but our relationship with the climb can.
Do you see yourself in Sisyphus?
Do you love the battle or hate the hill?
