The result is a book where every page is a reflection around some immanent theme: Sacrifice/Death, Illusion, Humility, Combat/Action, Judgement, Symbolism, Pilgrimage, Metanoia, Mercy-Love-Contemplation, Faith, Grace, Love, Ecstasy, Beauty, Peace, Discernment-Truth, Knowledge, Reality, etc. to name just a few.
Among the sources cited are: Hermes, The Qur'an, Eckhart, Sri Ramakrishna, Plato, The Bible, Dante Alighieri, St Agustine, Mencius, Huang Po, Tauler, Peter Sterry, The Bhagavad-Gita, Shakespeare, Huai Nan Tzu, The Talmud, Philalethes, Ibn Al-Arif, Confucius, Black Elk, Cicero, Rumi, and the Zohar, to name just a reduced few.
I have indicated this book as read, but I will probably never finish it completely, as it touches aspects of my life which are interpreted according to my experience.
Wonderful book.… (mais)
