The Quest for the Divine: : Philosopher, Prophet, and Mystic - Paperback

by Op Jean Marie Dwyer (Author)

The Quest for the Divine: Philosopher, Prophet, and Mystic elaborates the meaning of human existence rooted in the transcendent. Every human person has a fundamental call to peace and communion with all our brothers an sisters. Several important consequences arise from this perspective. Among the most significant are the essential relationship of the individual with the divine and the power each of us has to transform the society in which we live. The book shows the importance of the individual's encounter with God in the various periods of history and the impact this encounter has in the movement of history. It is in these important moments of encounter that human history moves toward its end. These men and women serve to raise human consciousness to the truth of our existence through their shared insights. We often bemoan the situation of violence and hatred in our world and feel totally impotent to do anything. One of the major reasons for this book is to say that we can do something. We can transform the world by attuning ourselves to the flow of the Divine Presence.
