“Oh, such love poured out from the eyes and mouth and tilt of the head and lean of this man’s “body”! It struck Theo in this way: all the compassion in the world was now concentrated on him; all the tenderness in the universe was now spread over him, like a warm blanket over a shivering infant. A flood of the most intense bliss imaginable surged through Theo’s soul, rendering it content to a degree he had never conceived possible.”
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.
