I definitely relate to the labyrinth as a symbol for this journey. I also agree that there are many such journeys and that sometimes they happen concurrently, and sometimes one leads directly into or out of another. That's what makes them so complicated and difficult to describe to people. Jeff, I can relate to what you describe with the sense that your guides and Gods have fallen silent or are giving unreliable information. Focus on your faith that you are not alone and that you are being guided well, even if you cannot sense it directly. I pray that the light will appear to you soon so you may see the true nature of your journey and find comfort in it. Liara, That is a great way to put it. Thanks for sharing it. Mahud,

Jeff,

Liara,
That is a great way to put it. Thanks for sharing it.

Faith is a choice to believe in concepts you attract to yourself with unseen energy. Some human beings believe religion is man-made interpetation of concepts that exist freely in the universe.

I don't think I've ever seen the choice of <i>remaining</i> in the Underworld put so plainly. Recently I took a week-long hike in the woods by myself, to escape my usual world in just the way you describe. Due to poor preparation on my part, I ended up pushing myself physically much harder than I had intended. Multiple times I was at the edge of shock induced by dehydration. But I received no visions. Changes are happening in my life that I do not understand, and cannot control. Decisions I make now will have long-range repercussions, but I am moving completely in the dark... My guides and gods have either fallen silent, or give me unreliable information. In a way, I feel abandoned by them. But in another way I feel that although I've been blindfolded, still I'm being led by the hand. It's pretty far out. Anyway -- thanks for the article; it was very timely for me. :-) Morninghawk, a fascinating post. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the choice of remaining in the Underworld put so plainly.

Apollo! I’ve visited your blog several times recently, but this is the first opportunity I’ve taken to send you a comment. I’m quite new to paganism, and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate all of the information and insights you share with the world on your blog, so I’ve nominated you for an award. If you visit my blog at http://pagandawn.wordpress.com, you’ll see all the details. Thanks again for all you do! Blessings, Sabrina Hello, Rev. Apollo!
