“Shivaji spoke. As he did so, the flames surrounding his form palpitated in rhythm with his words. ‘Nothing is dead. All is alive, vibrating, and intelligent. Look around.” Theo did so and was astonished to see that the grass, the trees, even the buttes and mountains did, indeed, throb with life force and glow with subtle luminance. The speaker continued. ‘Eternal, all-encompassing Bliss surrounds even the smallest particle of creation. Death is an illusion.'”
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.
