“Out of the Body”

“He came to an open space in the forest and looked up to the sky. Once again the magnetic attraction of the distant stars pulled Osi’s awareness from his body, and sent it in a hundred directions out into the vastness of space. The forest was so intimate, but the heavens so mindbogglingly remote. His body stood here, but his soul went wandering into the grand cosmos. Normally, people feel that what is closest to them is most precious. But Osi was learning that even the strangest, most unapproachable places in the universe might share the intimacy of one’s own body. For the body was not his Self. His Self extended far beyond the confines of this physical shell. It was out there with the soporific trees and creaking insects, out there with the sharp calls of the hidden owl, out there amongst that myriad of twinkling stars.”

Richard Maddox

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.
