Synopsis
Excerpt from The Diary of Jean Evarts, 1912
In these last days the world about me has echoed the voices that I hear so constantly within. Sometimes they whisper patience, and bid me hope that the storms which have beaten down my soul in this experience called life shall rage in vain against that portal through which I go. Sometimes they ring through my soul with the wild clamor of huge bells, and stir my confused thought into fierce protests against the laws that foreordained me to misery and death. Again, they sink into whispered temptations to destroy my life, and end at once the confusion and pain. But I dare not do this — weakness has sapped my courage — and I could not know that in killing the body I had destroyed the Self. How the awful thoughts of Self beat upon my tortured soul when the storms of temptation are raging! This Self that I have found here, cast into the world without my knowledge or consent, emerging from utter darkness, only to sink again into darkness just as profound and mysterious!

Présentation de l'éditeur
Excerpt from The Diary of Jean Evarts, 1912
California – and May! The warm earth quivers with expectancy, and the air is full of the promise of new life. The soft winds that blow from the inland are driving the rain clouds back to the ocean, and whispering to the barren hill-sides and brown valleys a message of roses, of flaming poppy fields and summer's bounty. I hear the meadow lark's sweet call, a pean of sheer gladness for life. I hear the twitter of swallows, and catch the gleam of the tanager as it flashes past me, too occupied with its renewed responsibilities to be mindful of my presence. Far down in the valley below me, the cattle, just turned into the new grass, are rejoicing in the abundance that is spread before them. I love to watch the cloud-shadows glide along this, great valley and melt into the hills far beyond. I love to sit here at sunset and see the wonderful changes of color that tint the landscape when the glowing sun tips those distant hills. I love to linger here when it has sunk behind the mountains, with night falling around me, and watch the Stars come out and the lights appear in the farm houses far below. Beyond those sentinel hills lies the bay, with its Golden Gate opening out into the great ocean. I caught a glimpse of this when they brought me here, and my heart was filled with longing to sail out through that sunlit portal and into the vast unknown - on and on, until I should come to that other gateway through which I shall soon pass.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a profound philosophical exploration of existence, challenging conventional notions of God, matter, and consciousness. The author, through the lens of a woman facing her own mortality, grapples with the age-old questions of life, death, and the nature of reality. Inspired by a mysterious stranger who shares his unconventional views, the narrative unfolds as a compelling dialogue between the protagonist's struggles and the stranger's insightful teachings. Drawing on philosophical and theological concepts, the book delves into the limitations of human perception and the illusory nature of the material world. The author argues that consciousness is a mental astivity, and that our understanding of reality is shaped by our thoughts and ideas. This exploration resonates with similar themes found in the works of philosophers like Kant and Berkeley, who also challenged the concept of a material world independent of our minds. The authorââ â¢s journey is a testament to the enduring power of seeking truth, even amidst the uncertainties of life and death. Ultimately, the book invites readers to contemplate their own perceptions of reality and embark on a journey of intellectual and spiritual enlightenment.
