The Light of the Invisible

"Seeing the Invisible" is a fascinating Account of a compilation of peoples' religious and mystical experiences. The experiences are all taken from the archives of the Alistair Hardy Research Centre in Oxford, England.The Research Centre's sole purpose is the collating of peoples' religious and a mystical experiences. To just read through the archives would be incredibly time consuming. However, Maxwell and Tschudin do a marvellous job of grouping like experiences, providing background knowledge for the understanding of mystical and religious experiences, whilst providing the most salient exerpts of peoples' freaky, funky, sppiritual and awe-inspiring experiences with the grace of intuition.This book is an eye- opener so that we all may know that we are not alone in our experiences of the supernatural, the divine, or whatever we experince the world to be. Beautiful exammples of finding the extra-ordinarines in the ordinary experiences of every day life. True serendipity, but with the ramification of a life-altering experience.Read it, and you too will "hang on to your purpose like one seeing the invisible". That otherworldliness within our world that we all crave - and mistakenly fill with transient,material pleasures. Read, be inspired, be spooked and be awed.Shame it is now out of print!!
