Arching Backward | Free Book
The Mystical Initiation of a Contemporary Woman
Arching Backward is the story of an American woman who found
herself suddenly and violently immersed in a mystical initiation for
which she was not consciously prepared. For four years, Janet Adler's
life was dominated by the transforming experience of a primal energy
and the visions that were created by it. She was not seeking spiritual
experience, nor was she a student of any particular mystical
tradition. But the visions brought her into the realm of the sacred,
transforming her body into a conduit for spiritual energy. The
writings collected here record her visions and describe the way this
contemporary woman dealt with the impact of this energy on her
physical body, her work, and her relationships. Her story offers a
guide for others on this journey and provides a powerful affirmation
of women's experience of the spirit.
In The Press
"Arching Backward is an eloquent and lyrical prose poem, riveting testimony from a modern mystic. Adler offers this narrative of her extraordinary journey, traversing territory both intensely intimate and primordial, luminous and transcendent. This is a heroine's mythic journey, as fascinating as it is mysterious."
