A Return To The Spirit Questions And Answers By Martin Lings
This latest book by Martin Lings is perhaps the easiest to read of all that he has written. The basis of sound objectivity, which we have learned to rely on, is still there; but from the very start of A Return to the Spirit that basis is overlayed with a subjectivity into which the reader is irresistibly drawn. The opening chapter, "How did I come to put first things first?" deeply concerns every well-intentioned individual. So do all the other chapters, each in its own particular way. We quickly find ourselves conscious of being very much in our element and this consciousness lasts throughout our reading of the highly informative "Answers"- to quote the book's subtitle - that are given to the "Questions".
In Dr Lings' case, he saw beneath the surface of things and helped us to penetrate the veil behind which lies the sacred meaning to so many of life's mysteries. He helped us to look beyond the literal and to comprehend that there are many layers of meaning within the hidden universe - something which science is now at last beginning to recognize through the acknowledgement of an inherent order and harmony to the world about us and within us. - From the Foreword, H.R.H.
