Purchase options and add-ons

Predicated on the immemorial core or "first" principles of the universal perennial philosophy, which finds expression from Lao Tzu to Ramana Maharshi in the East and from Pythagoras to René Guénon and Ananda K. Coomaraswamy in the West, The Higher Spiritual Path details how those on the higher spiritual path must address and master its requirements. This book is as practical as it is philosophical -- or theosophical -- since it is based on the specifics of “sacred science,” or spiritual science, an inextricable component of the perennial philosophy. Many of the requirements of the higher spiritual path are based on the truths of this ancient spiritual science, formulated over millennia by jivanmukti, or liberated beings, who serve as the teachers of those currently engaged in treading this hieratic path. The goals of ascending this path are the loftiest; the hierarchical order of its spiritual teachers is the holiest; and the totality of its evolutionary and compassionate purpose is the most sacred.

Review

This is doubly true when the story recounts childhood memories. We are at our most vulnerable discussing our formative years, the precious memories and painful childish hurts. When our childhood deviates from the norm, it becomes an act of faith to allow others in, to offer secrets for outside eyes to judge. 'A Fairy Path' is both a fascinating story of folk traditions surviving under the brutal fist of a communist regime and a deeply touching coming of age story. The wild, free and sometimes unruly ten year old at its heart battles to be her true self, while family life and school and friendship pull her in different directions. Her Grandmother is a respected local wise woman, whose path involves working with traditional Zane (Fairies) and a burning desire to be part of that world fuels her rebellion, but also inspires her. I read this account of an unusual childhood with great enjoyment . The raw emotion of the child still rings true, decades after the events described. There is a simplicity to the retelling that engages and the description of traditional Romanian beliefs and practices, hidden beneath village life is gripping. Fear of officialdom is never far away, from the cruel Comrade teacher to the policemen interrogating a ten year old. For those interested in a fairy path, it offers valuable insight into both the rewards and perils of interacting with powerful entities. For anyone interested in folk traditions and beliefs it's a fascinating read and a touching childhood memoir.
