Arc of the Arrow: Writing Your Spiritual Autobiography

By Carolly Erickson

A practical guide to mapping the course of our spiritual lives. Steer your soul, and uncover your unique spiritual path.

More and more, we are coming to realize that, along with our bodies, we have souls--eternal, immaterial essences that accompany us throughout life.

From birth to death, while our bodies drive themselves, our minds learn and plan, and our hearts experience love, joy, pain and loss, our souls are alive too, and at work--though the nature and scope of that work may not always be apparent. Like the flight of a divinely guided arrow, each of our lives follows its own arc, and it is up to each of to discern its path.

With thought-provoking paradigms as well as exercises and questions to lead us, Erickson offers seekers at all levels a guide to uncovering our own unique paths. Employing the methods that have proven so successful in her seminars on writing spiritual autobiographies, Carolly Erickson shows us how to take a spiritual inventory and how to recognize the often elusive tracks of the spirit as it works within us.

Not A Book, But A Journey

I haven't finished The Arc Of The Arrow yet, but it really has my attention. It's more of a guided journey through your psyche, letting you explore your beliefs and challenge what you think you already know. I've become happily bogged down in the section where you basically outline your life's history, treading from my earliest memory onward through dark and murky waters, finding that light does indeed glisten in swamps sometimes. If delving into your inner reaches intrigues you at all, this book is a winner. I recommend it for those who are open minded in their religious beliefs and have time to spend jotting down their thoughts and observations. I've been working on this for a year now, but would never dream of rushing such a delicate and emotional process. It leaves you feeling like you've had some kind of an inner cleansing and everything seems a lot brighter and less stuffy inside. Go for it!
