“The cadence of the music increased. The spinning tore the dancers’ awareness away from their bodies and sent it flying out into a timeless dimension. Their minds had turned off, leaving their souls open and free to the spirit of God that enlivened the room. Faster and faster came the music. Quicker and quicker came their spins. And there arrived a moment when the music disappeared into the dance, and the dance disappeared into the spirit, and there was both nothing and everything.”
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.
