Produktbeschreibung
McDowell characterizes the spiritual life as a captivating dance. Sometimes the steps are easy to follow; other times they become confusing or lost from view. In a clear and compelling voice, McDowell guides the reader through the steps of the dance. Each chapter offers a rich description of one step to spiritual realization and ends with open-ended self-reflective questions for the reader. These steps include experiences of bewilderment, detachment, renewal, awakening, illumination, dark night of the soul, and finally divine union or Self-realization. Drawing upon the wisdom of ancient traditions, contemporary spiritual teachers, and the author's own experiences, Dance of Light offers practical wisdom for contemporary spiritual seekers. Whether beginner or advanced, readers will receive guidance on the dynamics of the spiritual journey, learn how to further develop their inner life, and find ways to move forward when unmotivated, stuck, or lost.
