“I remember one time when I was sitting on a rock at the bottom of a box canyon and my consciousness spread out to the rock walls that surrounded me. Up, up, up it went until I found myself to be a giant ball of awareness. I no longer had the sense of being a physical body. I was just this huge orb of consciousness. It was a completely joyous feeling, being inflated and incorporeal in that way.”
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.
