The Generation of Life: Imagery, Ritual, and Experiences in Deep Caves

The author, for many years, taught a course on "Sacred Art of Indigenous Cultures," and has lectured on the Paleolithic era. He has also made several trips to a remote Guatemalan village, where he experienced an ancient Mayan ritual in a deep cave. This work draws upon these his experiences and study in which he identifies a primordial pattern of birth and rebirth, which still has relevance for contemporary humans.
