Extracts from Letters to Friends (pdf)
The following is from the Introduction:
Included in this volume are extracts from some of my letters to personal friends, and extracts from some more general correspondence, dating from the middle of 2008 to March of 2011 CE. For context, I have added brief extracts from three earlier letters, one from 2006, the other two from 2007 CE.
This volume will therefore hopefully compliment the compilation of letters, by my good friend JRW, in 2009 CE – which was a selection from the years 2002 to 2008 CE – and may thus provide further exemplifications; of not only that internal and external odyssey which led me to develope my philosophy of The Numinous Way, but also how different my personal views, and that particular weltanschauung, now are from such diverse -isms and -ologies that over the past forty years I have acquired some practical and theoretical knowledge of, and/or been involved with.
A difference perhaps summed up in the following quote, from one of the letters included here:
” We become, we are, each intimation of The Divine that so enthrals us, still – so that our pasts become presenced in our future and our future in our shared pasts: for so long as we hold fast to that love which dreams us, beckoning in such sadness, strength, ecstasy, and hope as melds us to those beyond our selves. Their dreams our dreams; their hurt our hurt; their joy our joy; their life our life. And one lifetime here is never ever long enough… Which is why there is the you beyond the I that is this me.”
Some notes – Post Scriptum, and in elucidation – have been added to a few of the letters.
