Highways of the Mind: The Art and History of Pathworking

Pathworking is a term given to a specific kind of guided visualization exercise in which the mind is projected into a series of situations and landscapes that can be viewed on a mental screen. Tracing them from the earliest cave paintings, through the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Bardic tradition and the story-tellers of Ireland, Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki shows pathworkings to be a part of a much greater structure in the make-up of man, pertaining to his hopes and dreams and his ability to make those dreams come true. Used with purpose and by trained minds, the pathworking becomes a series of controlled thought patterns - and thought is the basis of creation.
