“The Magic of Music”

“Music had always, since his early childhood, shown Skylar the transfiguring power of art. Music possessed a facility for communicating directly with one’s soul and, once in communication, an ability to extract from it a fine and delicate feeling. From this feeling, music could shake off all excrescences and dross, leaving a filament which it then played like one of its own strings. To effect this distillation of soul, music had at its command, on the subtle level: pitch, rhythm, and quality of sound and, on the gross level, the meaning of sung lyrics. At every stage of Skylar’s life, music had served to extract the essence of his emotional-spiritual condition, highlight it for clear inner viewing, and exalt it so as to reveal its divine nature.”

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.
