Transcendence at the End of the Cycle

The Search for a Path at the End of the Cycle

By Sadie LaBounty

A consideration of contemporary initiatory currents and the forms of spiritual practice that may have attained a new vitality amid the dissolution of inherited traditions.

If inherited spiritual forms have become increasingly inaccessible, exhausted or detached from the conditions of contemporary life, the question of practice becomes especially urgent.

This essay considers what forms of initiation remain possible at the end of the cycle and why certain contemporary paths may possess a particular pertinence under conditions of spiritual dissolution.
