I'm glad you enjoyed the story enough to rec it. I enjoyed writing it very much; the essays on meditation and labyrinths provided information that fit beautifully with what I wanted. I've always wondered how much sense they made to other people. The bit in quote above the third chapter still fits perfectly to my mind: the Master as the Minotaur and the Doctor as Mithras.
*coff* I won't pretend, mind you, that I understand all that author intended in his piece. I simply picked out what spoke to me.
