Light Upon Light is a book to touch the heart and awaken the spirit. It takes the lives of some of the great spiritual masters of the last millennium, from Rumi to twentieth century saint Sant Darshan Singh, and illuminates thier inner quests. More than simply biography, Light Upon Light, delves into the their perceptions of the world, the inner most workings of their minds, and the life incidents that led them to enlightenment. In this sense, Light Upon Light is not about the spiritual path; it is designed to take the reader an carry them into the spritual path, and percieve the wisdom of the masters from within. While author Andrew Vidich, PhD, has exemplary academic credentials, he writes from the heart and calls the reader to a direct experience---a "felt sense" of the core of these masters' teachings.
