Recognizing one's own spiritual patterns. In 17 chapters, Marion Küstenmacher shares moments from her life that have woven spiritual threads into her consciousness. Each chapter follows a three-step process: the author recounts a significant childhood experience and then explores how this foundational motif is perceived and interpreted within the mystical-theological tradition. In the third step, she clarifies how the theme has unfolded in her biography and where it guides her today. The result is a deeply personal account of a spiritual journey, which also serves as an invitation to discover and pursue the patterns of mystical spirituality in one's own life. "I now experience the flying carpet of my adult consciousness as a fluid, mobile, still provisional territory, a vessel." Written by the author for integral personal development. Her most personal book about her spiritual path, with further ideas for spiritual practice.
