The 13th Step is the true story of the author and her companions, who undertook extraordinary inward and outward journeys. It shares the experiences of 13 sacred pilgrimages undertaken to activate the cosmic healing energies of ancient sites. Some 37,000 years ago soular discs were concealed at different sacred locations around the world. This knowledge, given by the Elohim to Lemurian elders for safekeeping was not intended for use by their civilisation, the discs were intended for use by our civilisation and have now been activated to ease the collective shift of awareness prophesied for 2012.
The year 2012 has a deeper significance than London’s Olympic Games. The Maya, well known for keeping records of time, did not construct a calendar beyond 2012. This gave birth to speculation that the solstice on December 21st 2012 will be the end for us all. I prefer an alternative theory of a new beginning instead. Two parallel worlds will form, one based in positive thought the other based in negative thought, whichever emotion is your prime mover will dictate which world you inhabit. More about such in next month’s column, The Alternative View.

The travel journal qualities alone will keep you fixed until the end of this book. The
fascinating information about pyramids, mountains, temples, solstices, geological rifts and star maps that Currivan shares, knocks spots off any Lonely Planet Guide. Even though I had trouble connecting with the search for our cosmic destiny, my geographical and historical knowledge increased by leaps and bounds. A map shows that when the 12 sites are placed on the etheric planetary grid, they form a dodecahedron. Each of its12 pentagonal faces are anchored by one of the discs. Interestingly, the chapter on Avebury and the Michael and Mary lines explains the reason for Silbury Hill.
Fearful of being struck down for insolence, I meekly proffer one criticism. In the daily struggle to survive between pay days, this book offers not one iota of practical advice how such knowledge will increase the quality of our lives. The 13th Step is for those privileged folk who can luxuriate in thinking of things cosmic. Currivan moves between the etheric and the physical in a unique way and has been given acute insights into the cosmic human condition. Such knowledge is a gift and comes with responsibility. I challenge Currivan to interpret such invaluable information into a more practical guide, to pour this knowledge through her unique funnel and send a user friendly version down to us mortals, let it change our lives too!
The long term effect of activating the 12 soular discs will be to soothe the problem of our collective amnesia. I cannot easily remember what I need from the supermarket let alone remember why I am on this planet. For Currivan each outward journey sparks off an inward journey which forces assimilation of her particular personal traumas.
This fascinating work first broadens our horizons then provokes thought, it pushed a few of my own tender buttons. Prepare yourself for the same because annoyingly, these buttons once pushed cannot be ignored or restored to their previous setting of denial. Perhaps I should revise my previous criticism that no practical advice is offered, how could Jude Currivan interpret my path for me, that is my responsibility.
Reading The 13th Step encouraged me to face my inner segments of trauma. And I took some comfort, felt less isolated, when reading of Currivan’s adventures. She says, ‘like all pilgrims, we discovered that the journey is the destination’.
My own path is a little more steady having read The 13th Step.
