A book titled THE CULTURAL CREATIVES devotes an entire chapter to THE BETWEEN, describing it as “the time between worldviews, values, and ways of life; a time between stories.”
Though it was published twenty years ago, the book’s authors Paul H. Ray and Sherry Ruth Anderson could have been writing about today, a time of transition filled with confusion and chaos, danger—and promise.
The Between is a place of inner knowledge and breakthrough experiences, where the gates of the mind are pushed ajar, making room for threshold experiences that Carl Jung called synchronicities and Dr. Deepak Copra calls the power of coincidence.
Do Paul Ray and Sherry Anderson have any suggestions for survival during our passage through THE BETWEEN?
Yes.
Befriend uncertainty and get a clear vision of the road ahead. A matter, they say, of consciousness more than information.
And that’s where Visionary Fiction comes in.
Visionary Fiction places emphasis on clearing our awareness and awakening our spiritual vision.
Take, for example, Marjorie Veil, the protagonist in my “ENTER THE BETWEEN” visionary fiction series, who faces uncertainty itself, when, in book one, BETWEEN WILL AND SURRENDER, she begins hearing a voice when no one is there: You are not who you pretend to be.
Is she losing her mind?
The question plagues her for three weeks until she finally seeks help.
Transpersonal psychologist, Tony Mendez, advises, “You need to clear your mind and quiet your thoughts, enter the mystery and live the questions rather than seek the answers. You need to push past your perimeter of comfort and safety, slow down, follow some blind alleys, let the truth catch up to you.”
And so, Marjorie begins her journey through THE BETWEEN.
As one reviewer wrote: “You may find yourself examining your own life after reading this book.”
As always, thanks for stopping by.
