Joel tackles many of his favorite subjects here, including the illusion of what we seem to experience between cradle & grave, (the parenthesis) the allness of consciousness, the understanding of the I Am, and most importantly the differences between the spiritual and the mental. He again works his recurring theme of realization through meditation that "the father and I are one." This one should be read after The Infinite Way, Thunder of Silence, Practicing the Presence, Art of Meditation, and perhaps some of his other books.
