The Challenge of Fate
Thorwald Dethlefsen
At the root of any enlightenment is the very process of the search itself. Drawing upon a vast body of esoteric and alternative teachings, The Challenge of Fate makes a brilliant case against sterile rationalism and for a complete openness of mind in interacting with the phenomenal world. Dethlefsen contends that esoterism in its multiplicity of forms should thus be embraced, not necessarily as fact, but rather as a deeper and more subtle mode of thinking about realities within and without.
Through the investigation of various esoteric traditions, such as hypnosis, astrology, homeopathy, and reincarnation, Dethlefsen reveals the insights he has gained in his pioneering work in search of the path.
"A person's own fate is the most individual, made-to-measure, esoteric system that one could find. This is why we begin our path by confronting our own fate.
The aim of this confrontation is to achieve a deeper understanding of reality, an extension of consciousness, an encounter with the authority man calls God."
