“The spiritual vibrations emanating from the holy man acted on him like an intoxicant; but an intoxicant of the soul rather than the body. His spirit became obvious and central: it pushed his body out of the picture. It pulsed in joyous beats, extending out from where his physical form used to be, shining, glowing, and suffusing peace.”
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.
