As the once powerful words printed on the yellowed, dog eared, and bookmarked pages of spiritual works lose their impact, it becomes clear that while those words temporarily guide their reader to freedom, they ultimately will have to be let go of in order to be fully realized. The fact is that many a spiritual teaching has been distorted into something that can be held on to and used as a vehicle for identity; something to be defended.

It is therefore my hope that one day this work and others like it, will be nothing more than something peculiar to hang on the wall, it’s symbolism a relic of a time before humanity touched it’s indwelling light.
