“The religious can learn the same lessons as the meditative. Hear the Bible: ‘Be still and know that I am God.’ Is not the Self Absolute Stillness? Also: ‘There is One alone and no second.’ Is the Self not Infinite, Eternal, Omnipresent, and Undivided?”
Richard Dietrich Maddox's writing focuses on the search for permanent happiness, the goal of finding paradise on earth, the attainment of human Enlightenment. His work, though fiction, attempts to convey the profound spiritual Truth passed on to humanity by Enlightened Masters. Maddox approaches spiritual wisdom from a Western level of experience, presenting characters to whom readers can easily relate, offering situations in which readers might well have found themselves. His work offers, in a style which those living in the West will find understandable, the possibility of blissful existence.
