the long version

In Vienna, Austria, after WW II, an American poet and mystic sets out with single minded determination to unite the peoples of the earth through meditation, telepathy, and the collective subconscious to bring them to the knowledge of the one true God of humanity. He finds unlikely help from an English artist, a Turkish dervish and an Austrian bureaucrat. For a time, the mystic and his friends succeed, and the world knows peace and spiritual joy until the failings of human nature undo the promise. As the story unfolds, the reader is challenged to question what lies at the core of the spiritual degeneration of our time. "This is a compelling book, a cry for peace at a time of widespread anarchy and unfettered violence...really interesting and exciting." .. Brantford Expositor. "The gripping style, detailed observation, poetic images. This book must be read!"--Peter Rankin, N.Y.C.; "Saving values lie deep within the human spirit which can lead to the salvation of the world."--Human Quest.
