Exploring wisdom from mystical traditions and perennial philosophy on âdying before you die,â Buddhist psychotherapist Miles Neale shares his own heroâs journey of rebirth, providing a detailed roadmap for the pilgrimage through dissolution, into the great mystery, and back again to the world. He shares his transformation through a spiritual crisis and, ultimately, his creation of a more meaningful life. He provides four intersecting maps to help guide readers through the experiential process of metaphoric death, reclaiming the soul, and sharing oneâs genius with others. These four mapsâthe cosmological map, psychological map, alchemical map, and mythopoetic mapâdraw on the mythological stages of Joseph Campbell, Carl Jungâs process of individuation, the Tibetan Buddhist alchemy of conscious rebirth, and the astrological phenomenon of the precession of the equinoxes, offering a detailed philosophical underpinning for the soulâs journey to immortality. He also provides in-depth visualization practices based on ancient Tibetan wisdom to support you on the path of self-realization.
Integrating Tibetan Buddhism with psychology, trauma healing, neuroscience, and mythology, along with profound personal experience, Neale provides a step-by-step manual for spiritual rebirth, revealing how to reframe lifeâs unrelenting challenges and transitions as opportunities for psychological growth.
