Abstract

I realize that in what I have written so far, there is a danger of seeing the ‘transports’ I’ve described as essentially passive experiences. That is, they appear to be journeys that happen to you, or are imposed upon you, rather than you generating the experience yourself.

A labyrinth is a symbolic journey … but it is a map we can really walk on, blurring the difference between map and world.
