I appreciate your distinction between therapy and initiation. I worry about how people would discern such a thing though? I also worry about how, in our time, it seems there are a distinct lack of traditions and teachers who can assist people in discerning this and also providing safe containers for this type of unfolding to take place. In fact, I would say this lack of teachers and containers is one of the most vexing and pressing issues to me, as I worry many people may be going through transitions and transcending to nowhere, and then getting pathologized by others in an overmedicalized society. I fear this is causing a lot of harm to people who could be so powerful to themselves and others, but they need a place to call home with proper guidance.
