This looks at a tricky subject for many of us who are on this path. It’s such an exciting and inspiring one but there is so much potential for disenchantment, dependency, abuse and rejection. How can we be fully committed and make the most of all the transformational potential, while never abandoning a keen awareness of the dangers on that path? Connie, who also wrote The Inner Work of Age, is brave and experienced enough to give us this primer on the subject. The book is deep but not academic or difficult. It is divided into two parts: Before the Fall and After the Fall. It both helps us to be aware and wary of what might go wrong and gives us tools to start again after a disillusionment. It’s so hard when you are let down by someone and you don’t know if you can ever “believe” again. Well, this book shows you that you can.
