Into the Light and Back Again A Mystic's Journey

Into the Light and Back Again: A Mystic’s Journey explores the effects this vaster reality has on the ego, on the mind, the psyche, and also the physical body. Here are the deeply personal struggles, intoxicating states, and suffering that can accompany such a venture into the spiritual unknown. Readers will travel with Vaughan-Lee into these mystical realities of vast emptiness and landscapes of light and love, and empathize with his attempts to make sense of these experiences. Vaughan-Lee expands our understanding of spiritual life while showing increased appreciation for what is simple, ordinary, and sacred. Central themes focus on the power of love and prayer, the nature of spiritual service, and care for the living Earth in this time of ecological crisis. Into the Light and Back Again is a deeply personal memoir with a universal stamp, chronicling the nature of the human struggle in relationship to the Divine, and the experience of love in the search for Truth.
