Lars Muhl claims that ordinary life is only a tiny speck of a much longer existence, and that remembering this would ease much worry. He describes a path that usually unfolds step by step, though his own turn felt sudden. Secret books once kept for initiates, he says, are now open to anyone. In his account, pain that had resisted everything else stopped when he finally agreed to a calling, and he gave up smoking at the same time. He insists a spiritual life is not a soft dream of pink skies but a grounded way of walking. He argues that Aramaic is required if readers want Jesus’s meaning in the New Testament, and that a word rendered as prostitute originally named a moon priestess. On that reading, Mary Magdalene was an exalted figure and an equal partner. He also says that everyone has to leave this life and that people rarely talk about it. Pictures of hell and purgatory are frightening, he says, yet they still have a purpose. Awareness of purpose, he claims, opens what a person needs.
