An Enduring Timeless Story Nov 13, 2005
By YaEl Ben Aharon
Selenna in her book BTVOT writes about the importance of relationships as catalysts to spiritual evolution. Through intimacy, love and sex her characters learn to face their fears and grow into beings of light.
The main story in Selenna's tale is one that follows the woman Morgan from before her birth until her (what might be called) enlightenment. Morgan's journey is compared to the well known characters of Arthur's tales and the Gods and Goddesses of ancient Egypt. The dynamics of the characters in Selenna's story shows us clearly the pitfalls of fear that create war and the steppingstones of love that create peace.
The journey in BTVOT, in fact, can be seen as a continuous one. It can be seen as a continuing saga of the reincarnated Gods and Goddesses of Egypt. The Gods continue there incarnations as the Arthurian characters and then into the present, or near future time as the characters of Morgan and her companions. The mystery of this journey is that all these characters are archetypal representations of ourselves and show us our own journey through time and through life.
Morgan's journey through the mists of relationship and spiritual evolution take her to an important place beyond a current paradigm of relationship - Monogamy. Her family is one that is spiritual and as such goes beyond the veils of fear and jealousy. In a world where divorce, spousal abuse, alienation and serial monogamy are more prevalent than successful marriages it is important to become aware that there are alternative ways to love and create family. Sellena gives us a peek at what honest, open, spiritual relationships should look like and a path that will lead us towards our goal of spiritual fulfillment.

Selenna's book is just an amazing read !
Morgan's struggles and ultimate growth
are life lessons that I think will touch
almost any reader very deeply - the
archetypes present in the story have
been present since before the recorded
history of our species, and are
critically important ones for people all
over the planet to visit and consider.
One possible warning: this is NOT light
reading ! Readers seeking a placid story
for bedtime will not find it here.
It touches so many deep subjects and
places in such a visionary manner that
it is almost impossible to set it down.
The experience of this work is a very
personal one - not only was that my
experience, but also the experience of
those I have shared this book with.
From what I know of the author, she has
continued to grow through her writing
and as a result the later works are well
worth the reader's time, and I highly
recommend this author and her works.
