My name is Heidi. I’m a student of western occult studies. The metaphysical stories recorded in this blog are what I actually have experienced during my pathwork (meditations, visions, hypnotic trances) into the Qabalistic Tree of Life through the use of tarot cards.
The Light Congress is a story of inner exploration, self empowerment, adventure, and love.
Whoever you are, wherever you’re from, I believe that you have something extraordinary to give to this world, something that only you can give. Please be brave, and share your gifts today.
I’m trying to be brave and share mine. Together, I truly believe we can change the world for the better.
The Spiritual Journey as a Game
When I first began my explorations into the other worlds, I didn’t know that what I was experiencing was a universal journey, one which could be codified by religions and philosophers the world over. It felt brand new to me as if I was the only one who had ever had this type of experience.
However, through time and various life events, I have come to realize that I am on a path that every one travels. Throughout your life journey you will face challenges and certain developmental steps if you live long enough, very much like the physical body goes through the process of puberty and aging.
Lucky for us, philosophers like Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell have mapped out parts of this journey through their work. By applying their frameworks to my writings of The Light Congress, I have found that various gates lead to key points in a seeker’s spiritual development.
Below, you will find an evolving list of the journeys and some analysis of the symbolism they contain based on both Jung and Campbell.
I hope that you find yourself in these pages to form a new understanding of shared spiritual experience rather like a D&D guide for the spiritual explorer.
Just as you can’t play a game if you don’t know the rules, so too do I feel that seekers lose their way upon the paths because they don’t realize, as I did, that we are all on paths that have been walked before.
Here is my contribution to the great game and I’ll see you in the other worlds.

Greetings, Heidi, I’ve come here today by way of the link you posted in the forum for The Invisible Church. I would like to tell you that I totally enjoyed reading chapter 18 and I now am inclined to read your other chapters! Your visionary writing feels very true and radical (to the root) for me. I’m thanking you for sharing and for your courage/bravery in offering this to all.
Thank you, Rachelle, for your kind words! The Light Congress has been a work in progress for so long that I’m excited it has finally reached a point where it can be of some service to others. Thank you for taking the time to read it and I’ll see you at The Invisible Church! Jung’s teachings are truly helping me see my writings in an entirely different light. I hope the revelations continue.
