Spiritual development is the theme of this book. It explores the idea that awareness of the invisible world is an evolving process, and that as our awareness increases, our understanding and consciousness expands. Written as a conversation between the two authors, they share their experiences and perspectives on such topics as free will, destiny, the nature of identity, and encounters in the invisible world. Each section of the book opens and closes with a dialogue between the two authors. The closing dialogue explains how their differences in thought have transmuted into one understanding - a combined truth. Sandwiched between dialogues are essays such as 'Is Karma Everything' that challenge individual belief, and display how our shifting values shape our perspective of truth. In a section titled 'Hitting the Wall' they discuss how relationships, drama, and material concern such work and money contributes to our spiritual development. Also included are methods to explore and understand states of consciousness. Essays such 'Orientation to the Unknown' provide techniques to understand belief and expand individual perspectives. The authors are both Rosicrucians who share a lifelong passion for mysticism and truth. In this book, they recount their personal experiences and have also included information about various mystery schools, enabling the reader to continue further investigation in greater detail. A primer for the spiritual path, this book is a celebration that allowed each author to let go of their individual perspective, and journey into a combined consciousness - an expression of the essence of our universe - the one. Michael Guarino is the author of 'Imagine That: Integrating Reality in Search of Actuality', a blend of poetry, stories and essays on spiritual themes. Stephen Thomson is author of 'The Secret Key', and 'Essays for Spiritual Self Mastery.' These books are also available through Amazon.com.
