Pilgrimage Through the Storm

This powerful testimony is a witness to the journey through the dark night of the soul that can act as a valuable companion guide to those undergoing a similar process. The feeling of isolation and separation can encourage the thought that we are alone, and yet, as the author maintains, our innermost essence is unchangeable; the beloved is never far away. The style is poetic and lyrical, the way is arduous, requiring the utmost courage, persistence and surrender in the face of feelings of abandonment and desolation. However, ‘exactly when I had lost all hope, the precious brilliance of infinite intelligence has found its way to me.’ (p. 26) The culmination is a series of aphoristic keys to the kingdom as answers to perennial questions in our path of return to conscious wholeness – knowing the truth of who we really are. A profound meditation.
