This book is a collection of prose poems that reflects, within the primary context of the teachings of Jesus and Paul, on various aspects of the seeker’s quest for inner liberation. It is a book that was composed during the author’s attempt to come to terms with his own disillusionment, and the ignorance, distortion of truth, and religious unreality that lay at the heart of the abandonment of his faith as a young man. Underlying the poems as a whole is the author’s belief that truth, as Jesus perceived it, is simply "things as they actually are" or what we might call in modern terms "reality". When we are lost and confined in places of ignorance and unreality and the beliefs that sustain those places, the only solution is the truth and what it births: both a holy disillusionment with all things false and a proper vision of what can and must be. It is this process that goads us out of our imprisonment. Written in a style intended to mirror the language of parable and aphorism, each of these poetic expressions falls into one of six major areas of concern: the contrast between the life of God and life as we know it, death and darkness, legalism, carnality, the nature of God’s movement toward us, and the nature of our movement toward God.
