When I studied the myths of humanity, I found that no matter where I looked—whether among the stories of the Greeks, the Vedas of India, the wisdom of Africa, or the folktales of Native America—there was always a single underlying rhythm: the call, the trial, the transformation, and the return.

What Near-Death Experiences Teach About Life and Love
