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."

The Sacred Voyage: a holotropic perspective on mental health

As far back as early Christian mysticism, references have been made to the ‘original image’ or ‘true face’. Charles L. Whitfield described the phenomenon of our essence as follows: ‘Who we are when we feel at our most authentic, real or impassioned.’ Our essence possesses qualities such as spontaneity, vulnerability, creativity and especially vitality. When we are in touch with our essence, we feel alive. From our own essence, we connect with others and we may shape a sense of collective awareness.
