“Theo turned his eyes back to the aquamarine stream. But, to his astonishment, the water had turned into a fluent curve of Light. Not sunlight. Not moonlight. But Light! Light supernal! This Light was what he often saw surrounding the body of his Teacher. It belonged to another, better world, not to this terrestrial one. In it lay Bliss and Peace. It moved without moving. It sang without breaking Its own Silence.”
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.
