If you are a spiritual person it is likely that this is because you have empirical experiences in your life that have confirmed your beliefs. Like many others, I have had such experiences. These experiences have affirmed to me that I am on a path leading to greater self-understanding and, ultimately, Spirit-understanding. No matter whether you are just starting this journey or well on your way, Dr. Ariadne’s book, Dancing the Labyrinth: initiation in the Modern World, is an amazing and exciting deep dive into how the many stresses mankind is currently experiencing are actually growth pains. It is a guidebook, where the terms are defined and the mysteries become clear; where the five levels are detailed and chapters are filled with deeply personal anecdotes from real people who have openly shared their stories. We see how our spiritual paths and everyday life are interconnected. We learn that it is not necessary to drop out and sit on a mountain top; rather we advance even more quickly by bringing our Initiation journey into our daily lives. You will learn how to intensify your participation in your journey concurrent and in conjunction with finding your way to higher being and wisdom. As you progress through the chapters you will read the stories of others like you, many of whom began their Initiation while climbing out of the depths of despair, or overcoming daunting challenges. These are powerfully affirming and inspiring. Above all, it is a vision of great hope. It speaks to the emergence of the new, enlightened human. And, it offers many ways to traverse the Labyrinth and arrive at our ultimate destination – perfect love and understanding.
