Book Cover & Preview Text
Pilgrim has just arrived. He’s been here only a few hundred centuries. He’s human in every respect. He’s becoming acquainted with laughter and tears but mostly tears. His most frequent companion is suffering. He was born with insatiable appetites, emotional as well as physical. He’s not at all at home here in the Earth. Something’s not natural. Something is terribly out of sync. He can’t quite put his finger on it, but everything around him and in him seems to be caught in a web of tension, confusion, despair, and hopelessness. He’s very uncomfortable and so is everyone around him. There’s no peace. It feels so unnatural. It’s as if everyone is hanging upside down! There’s strife and struggle, enmity and anger, fault finding and fear. He’s come into a planet hanging upside down, and everyone around him is also hanging upside down! In frantic desperation, he seeks to find peace and security by offering himself to another. Another takes him, uses him, pledges and promises fidelity and loyalty to him. And then, without any warning, turns on him and viciously, with gnashing teeth, bites him, leaves him for dead, laughs and then disappears. The pilgrim lies there wounded and bleeding, wondering how and why. He feels so afraid, so betrayed, so lonely, so confused, so hurt, unable to find his way. . . They’re very uncomfortable around him. It seems, at times, that they’re even afraid of him. Pilgrim doesn’t mind. He’d rather be different and know peace than be like the others who have no peace. He prefers to remain “right side up,” even at the expense of others accusing him of being “up side down.” Now that Pilgrim is “right side up,” his mind is becoming more keen and perceptive. He’s growing in understanding. He can now discern what before was an indiscernible enemy. He now understands that this enemy is behind all of the heartbreak and suffering. Pilgrim can now see to help the others around him who want help, especially those who are still “up side down." The pilgrim is free. Love is giving him “eyes to see.”

About the Book
A great religious mystic wrote thousands of years ago that “Love never fails.” If this is true then, why are there today so many heartbreaks, disappointments and failure in our lives and relationships, yet so much commentary, verbiage and singing about love. And why is there so much hostility, anger and finger pointing among people who practice religion, each claiming that their God is love? We are all pilgrims journeying along a road to somewhere. Most of us are either dancing in the light of the sun or else we’re groping about in the miserable, lonely, darkness. This book is a journey in the Light. Light not only shows us the way but also exposes the pitfalls and stumbling blocks waiting for us in the darkness. If you are longing for a new life of hope, joy and happiness, then this book is for you. Thousands around the world are being awakened and their lives are being transformed by the truths found in these pages. The transformation begins with realizing that no matter what you’ve done in the past, no matter what you do in the future, you are accepted and very precious to our Creator. Love is helping us to see. Love is not blind.
