He or she has to explore the labyrinth.  Using the silence within, and experiencing that which opens a hidden door within the self.

The movement of walking the labyrinth: this movement takes away the excess psychic energy that hinders our efforts to quiet our thought processes.  This enables us to reach a higher level of consciousness.  This peaceful place allows the mind to enter a receptive state.

Using the imagination the mind now quieted and expanded beyond every day consciousness opens a path to the sacred.  This sacred within introduces us to the vastness of the spirit.  The sacred within each of us.  This is a process of change-to release, to empty to quiet-letting go of things that block our higher power.  Letting go of all the things we try to control to allow ourselves to be fully present in the moment.  Giving us fully the potential of time.

Coming to the center with illumination and clarity.  This union with the sacred gives us the confidence to fully realize "our creative spiritual potential."  And to risk taking our unique gifts to manifest in the world.

We then serve the world with an active, self aware, compassionate and conscious manner.  Thus we bring out our own heroic potential, which  gives us the inner strength to act on it and be fully human.
