The Abyss of Innocence E-BOOK

"Once, humanness was an embarrassment to me, something only puppets are happy with, but now I see humanness is the sacred longing of the divine; a beautiful story told by the story-less bard." The Abyss of Innocence

Continue Ashiata's journey with him in this, the second installment of Benjamin Jones' series A Journey of Eternity.

In the first book, The Abyss of Truth, Ashiata left 'the town' for a quest of solitude, uncovering the depths of his true Being which hid beneath the cacophony of wordly conditioning. Now, in The Abyss of Innocence, he is compelled to return. Not to teach or preach his wisdom but to share in what he calls the 'True Spirit of Life'.

After journeying into the mountains of himself and revealing the extra-ordinary, he is now returning to the utterly ordinary and to his delight he sees love and innocence where he once saw only suppression and fear.

The town is already in the process of awakening when he arrives. Secret Societies have started and a remembrance of freedom is breaking through the surface. But Ashiata surprises everyone with how he deals with this.

Full of metaphors and nods to the modern and historical world this book is as much an examination of the world's philosophical and spiritual evolution as it is a story of one man's imminent relationship with life. We find that it is not ideologies or The Awakened Ones which bring real transformation, but the immediate, individual experience of the Ture Spirit of Life which dwells in and as all.

This book is both intimate and broad and evokes an innocent acceptance of life which for too long has been buried beneath the societal veils of knowledge, fear and control.

If we were using Zen terminology this would be Ashiata's 'return to the market place' after his solitary quest for enlightenment.
