The world is in crisis, at a turning point. We can't rely on governments and organizations to change things for the better. They only reflect, inadequately, our own priorities and desires. The real problem is ourselves. We have lost our connection to spirit, and so to the world. We are trapped in a materialist perspective, unsatisfying but addictive. We have lost our "best self", and so lack any real purpose, passion and bliss in our lives. Many religions offer a particular path, but in so far as they are exclusive, claiming that theirs is the only one, they are part of the problem rather than the solution. This revelatory book describes an ancient hermetic pathway, representing a golden thread running through many spiritual traditions, which offers all we need to understand and do to actually become our enlightened best selves. It contains a map of the stages of spiritual awakening that identifies the emergencies and challenges to be overcome, our personal shadow defects, and gives us the tools for transformation we need to overcome the obstacles to living with spiritual integrity. There are hidden worlds here to explore, a lifetime of adventure in front of you, the path of the spiritual hero. Susie Anthony climbed the corporate ladder until she worked directly for some of the richest men in the world. With no other purpose in life but to get rich quick, she descended a hedonistic path that eventually led to despair, and a near death experience in which she was visited by an angel who guided her onto the path of true spiritual awakening.
