Description
This is a groundbreaking exploration of the mystery of existence, in that it both assimilates many divergent paths, showing how these proceed toward the same hallowed destination- wonder- and also by preparing the reader to walk along this way. There are over two-hundred and fifty individuals quoted in this work, from many disparate cultures, epochs, and paths. Though scholarly in nature, the book is intended to be inspirational, and is accessible to a vast range of readers. This is a book devoted to the miracle, awe, and beauty in all life. It is a book about the rapture of unknowing.
