Publisher's summary

Do you know what it's like to lose your mind? The mystics of antiquity from east to west spoke of living, breathing realms within the imagination. Mania or melancholy, ecstasy or entrancement, wisdom or insanity, divine or demonic, day or night, conscious or unconscious.

Some people claim to have relationships with things like a divine creator, things that don't seem to exist, but they seem to be all the better for it. On the other hand, some people spend their lives in a schizophrenic psychosis, apparently having a better reason to speak of such things, yet they are notably worse off for it. As psychoanalyst CG Jung once wrote, “This is the fund of unconscious images which fatally confuse the mental patient. But it is also the matrix of a mythopoeic imagination which has vanished from our rational age. Though such imagination is present everywhere, it is both tabooed and dreaded... It is considered the path of error, of equivocation and misunderstanding. I am reminded of Goethe’s words; ‘Now let me dare to open wide the gate/ Past which men’s steps have ever flinching trod.’ …Unpopular, ambiguous, and dangerous, it is a voyage of discovery to the other pole of the world.”

Tasteful and refreshing storytelling

This book has a story telling style similar to Tim Burton with a jungian-keelian analytical approach to what is worth considering when it comes to mysticism, spiritualism, occultism, religion, psychology, philosophy the paranormal and everything in between.

The dive manual has helped me navigate through my own personal deep plunge into the core of my being.

Taking the journey alongside the author is emotionally gripping.
It is a book I know I’ll read again and again.

A modern adventures through the psyche

A must read for anyone with an interest in shadow Work and a desire to dive into the depths of your own experiences. This book is a definite treasure leaving behind the trappings of the New Age movement, instead taking the path less traveled,
