The Inward Odyssey: Edith B. Schnapper

In the sacred literature of the world there is preserved the teaching of a Way or a Path, known to seekers of all ages, referred to in Holy Scripture as well as in mystical texts and although its description varies, it is always referred to as the one sure means of divine realisation. This book is concerned with outlining a Way, a process of transforming Man’s entire being through its expression in symbols and stages common to all great spiritual traditions. The Wheel, the Wilderness, the Spiral, the Labyrinth, the Rose, the Tree, the Fire and the Light are such images which are all produced and reacted to spontaneously by those who travel the path of Transcendence. This copy is the updated and revised second edition dated 1980.
