    About this ebook

    Captured in the fleeting and ever more rare moments, between the hustle of economics and the chatter on cell phones, there still remains the ancient wonders of humankind. In those passing times are the questions we have fathomed since our modest beginnings of life on this earth, and the on-going quest to discover who we really are and what this thing called life is all about. We take glimpses as answers and we reach for solutions, but the complexities and the diversities and our own limitations seem to forever keep us distant from total certainty. We find ourselves as small pebbles on a vast and endless beach, yet still that primal need of understanding persists, and we look again across the sunny stretches towards the horizon, hoping to see what we haven't seen before. Our curious nature appears never to sleep, and though great minds have studied and studied, we humble people do still dare to question.

      Modern spiritualism continues from where old-world wisdoms ended. We take from our religions and our sciences and our mythologies the precious gift of foundation, but we seek now to build higher. Fired by a disbelief that our troubles and tribulations could still be with us after so many thousands of years of evolution, we are driven to believe that we are yet lacking, and so the balm to these burns must still be unfound. So we watch and we think and we dabble. We keep walking without certainty in the humble hope that our journey might be rewarded with an eventual knowing born of experience. And who can say that it won't be so? The gathering of many lives
