Synopsis

Wilderness as a metaphor for life has a long and honoured tradition. It was seen most clearly in the journey of the Israelites from Egypt into Canaan. The Israelites, under the guidance of Moses, wandered for 40 years in the wilderness. But God provided certain markers wich sustained and guided them. There are many kinds of wilderness on this earth as there are cultures and beliefs. Our culture has a strong effect on what we do with the various wildernesses we encounter but in the end it is our belief springing from our own spirituality, that brings about transformation. This text shows how belief and faith can transform the wilderness of life from areas of confusion and fear into places of emancipation and hope. It is divided into two parts that deal with the various wildernesses we experience, from nature to death, and offers 12 universal markers by which the spiritual explorer can chart his or her own course.
