Everyone has a journey through life. In the esoteric world it is known as 'walking the path'. For those who step willingly on the path, they agree to a speeding up of internal growth. Shane P Ward took that step and the result may be considered controversial; was it just life unfolding and did implausible events really happen? Whatever you may think, be prepared for an emotional roller coaster.
Shane knew there had to be an answer to the question. The problem was that for many years he could not work out what the actual question was. It lurked defiantly in the darkest recesses of his mind and refused to reveal itself. Shane was 16 years old and determined to root out the problem that gnawed at him for the next five years.
The seed of the question began at the end of ten years of service as a choirboy, which if nothing else it endowed Shane with a thorough grounding in the Christian faith and the love of good music. But it was also here that his perspective of faith and reality clashed. Too many wrongs prevailed in the world for God to stand by and do nothing. It didn’t seem to fit. In an instant the world was no longer easy to understand.
It was during his research into the origin of religion that Shane came across the world of the esoteric. He soon discovered that, by all accounts, the esoteric world is a dangerous place; then again the mundane world was clearly just as perilous. People can get hurt playing with anything that they do not understand. It was common sense therefore to truly understand the esoteric and drink deeply of its knowledge just as one would learn to drive a car before taking it out on a busy road.
The formulating of that single question became a main theme running through Shane’s life and he discovered what it meant to speed up his evolution in the pursuit of truth. He also found a satisfactory question that he believed was acceptable to many, if not all, people.
Walking The Path is as honest an autobiographical account as possible, set in London for the period of 1960 to 2004. It is intended to publish part 2 around 2030. Truth can indeed be stranger than fiction, and this story will not disappoint.
