The Many Paths to the Divine

A Web-Based Bibliography on alternate and permanent Realities/Cosmologies

"There are many paths to the Divine... Picture...a huge field. At the center is the biggest tree you can imagine. There are perhaps a million or more ways to get to that tree. It all depends on where you are currently standing. There is no one right way to get to the center. Will not any path to the center of the field get you to the tree?... The tree is the Tree of Life. It is the source of all knowledge."

2.2 Defining mental health

The Sacred Voyage: a holotropic perspective on mental health

Mental health: A quality of fully fledged human existence, being more than a mere absence of psychological and psychiatric disorders and more than a standard measure for assessing the mental health of an individual. (The term quality does not refer to a generic and objective norm for mental health itself, but to the more normative nature of the term mental health.) The operational method of the Sacred Voyage uses Trimbos’s 1959 definition of mental health, being: ‘a quality of human existence’.
