Dante’s Divine Comedy is most famous for its illustrated tour through 
the seven circles of Hell, but the journey through the underworld only 
comprises one-third of the whole story. When the work is viewed 
in its complete form, what is commonly perceived as a cautionary tale 
of fire and brimstone can actually be read as a journey of transformation 
of human nature on a personal and a societal level. This extensive 
and detailed spiritual journey focuses on one key theme: accessing the 
empathy, wisdom, and intuition of our Higher Selves.
