Prayer and meditation form the basis of the author's approach to a modern mysticism. At a time when the old structures, sociological, political and religious are breaking down and the new not yet formed, this book is a major contribution towards understanding, reconciliation and the practice of what the author rightly calls 'a modern mysticism'. Man stands at the cross-roads, immersed in the material, yet faintly feeling the call to the spiritual. Which will he choose? In past time he was taught to abandon the former for hope of the latter; but now they are to be recognised as two sides of the same coin, since the Spirit informs all created things. The author's personal search has covered many years in many countries, studying the major religions and finding a deeper and more satisfying meaning in the teaching of Christ than theology has given us. Yet is it not so much a personal testimony as a spiritual psychology, the fruit of his insight, wherein he examines 'the double thread' running through all aspects of life (the pairs of opposites such as good and evil, etc.), how at times they are interchangeable according to our viewpoint, how they are to be accepted if we are to see life whole, and the reader made whole. Prayer and meditation, when rightly used, help us not only to transcend them, but invoke a wisdom that help us realise and accept that essential unity of all life. He has been greatly helped by the books of the late Joel Goldsmith, whose teaching on, living by Grace he interprets in a most convincing and practical manner for the liberation of contemporary men and women deduced by appearances, weakened by doubt or apathy, torn by conflict gives them stones instead of bread.
