All reality is one luminescent-sapphire "Presence" or "Mind" manifesting in different shades of clarity.
Each mind and body is a fragment of that universal Sapphire Light. Our psychological-spiritual development is polishing the jewel. It is also a redemptive journey through diverse territories: we can escape from a stifling land of dark confinement, then wander in a desert of pristine-white emptiness, and eventually pass into a broad land teaming with rich diversity, where we can live in sacred freedom.
This book is a kaleidoscopic guide containing profound principles about consciousness and reality, practical wisdom, meditation techniques, picturesque metaphors, stories and more. Through its 54 essays and anthologised quotations from the Jewish tradition, Sapphire Light is a transformative foundation for bringing deeper spiritual practice, meaning and wellbeing into your life.
