In Search of the Hidden Treasure

In Search of the Hidden Treasure, "The Pearl of Great Worth" is a book dealing with religious transformation. It is an aggregate of various sources as diverse as Buddha, Meister Eckhart, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Walt Whitman, and the Bible. This book is both a spiritual autobiographical affirmation of my faith and encouragement to those who wish to follow a path that may lead them to spiritual fulfillment. It evolved from a religious revelation which I had in 1984, and is an anguished, forthright attempt to come to grips with the religious issues which I found hostile and unfriendly and contained in daily life. It is not my intent to reveal a set of truths about God, as much as it is an attempt to convey through prose, poetry, quotations, parables, wisdom tales and my own mythological story and poetic works, the intuition of reality that touches the heart, and burns and stirs the soul. I have written what I feel is crucial and important in describing the reality of truth.
