More DescriptionThe trilogy examines the reasons and consequences of the state of spiritual bankruptcy widely evident in contemporary society. In the text, bedrock conceptions about the meaning and purpose of life are challenged in a way that exposes their deficiencies, but also explains the importance of these conceptions being re-evaluated from a personal perspective.The existential nature of any transformation attains its qualitative aspects from precisely the depth and extent of our personal involvement in any reappraisal of the life situation and the contention throughout the text is that the transformation of our personal state of being is fundamental to meaningful change to our lives. Central to this core idea is the notion that life is a journey which has and will provide all the lessons we require once we understand the language of the life experience. It is precisely at this point and with this understanding that we interface our own personal journey with the great life journey in which we are embroiled, a condition that can be described as 'what is this place in which I find myself'.Every effort has been made to ensure that the experience of reading the separate parts of the trilogy will be a journey in itself and so will provide some familiarity of the territory we will find should we awaken to aspects of our own humanness.The position adopted in the writing is that our personal humanity lays dormant within and the reasons for this are developed as a central theme running through the separate parts of the trilogy. It is argued that this dormancy is responsible for the philosophical and existential aridity in which we find ourselves today.
