Living Path: Between Worlds

The mystics describe the peak but not the descent. They speak of touching infinity but not of how to pay bills with hands still trembling from the encounter. They chart the way up the mountain but leave you to find your own way back to the village.The Living Path: Between Worlds explores this unmapped territory.If The Ascending Path mapped the essential qualities of spiritual growth from gratitude through wisdom, this second collection explores what comes afterwards: how we live these insights in the space between cosmic consciousness and the ordinary reality of daily life.These fifteen poems arose through the same natural process as the first collection — not through deliberate craftsmanship, but as genuine expressions emerging from direct experience. They embody a lifetime of travel, clinical practice, and deep meditation, from the Algerian Sahara to the silence of the Alpujarra Mountains, from the forests of Borneo to an Oxfordshire grave where a locked box finally opened.THE COLLECTION'S JOURNEYFoundation: the infinite woven into the earth beneath our feet. Initiation: crossing thresholds into expanded awareness. Deepening: consciousness explored through direct experience. Integration: navigating between mystical realisation and practical livingTHIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF YOU:Have glimpsed something beyond ordinary awareness and wonder how to live with itKnow the tension between transcendent experience and everyday demandsSeek poetry that honours both the cosmic and the mundaneValue wisdom earned through lived experience, not borrowed from booksRecognise that the real spiritual work begins after the vision fadesABOUT THE POEMSFrom fractal patterns in forest floors to the mathematics of transformation, from visionary experiences to the quiet work of living wisdom in everyday moments, these poems explore the territory of advanced spiritual practice. A silver cobra dissolves into geometry. A grave in Oxfordshire releases sixty years of sealed grief. Morning coffee becomes a sacred practice.This is the living path: not avoiding the world, but engaging with it more deeply from a place of understanding. Not a permanent dwelling in transcendent states, but the daily act of remembering what we already are.Fifteen poems. The journey continues.
