Hidden Journey

Hidden Journey: A Spiritual Awakening

by Andrew Harvey

Penguin Books, New York, New York © 1991; 272 pp.

The Divine Mother is one of the forms in which people experience/believe in God/dess. She has been presented in cultures throughout recorded history. Andrew Harvey is a contemporary scholar and mystic who has found a special focus with Divine Mother in his life and written both personal and scholarly narratives on Her. This book comes out of his very personal, direct experience with Mother Meera, a young Indian woman who was believed by many to be the embodiment of the Divine Mother. Describing his time with her as his guru, this account details his struggles, illuminations, ecstasies, and down-to-earth routines experienced through her training. It illustrates the heights and depths one can attain on the spiritual path and still survive intact. Not many years following the timeframe of this book, he split from Mother Meera and denounced her, showing that the ego can survive nearly anything.
