The Face Before I Was Born: A Spiritual Autobiography
In The Face Before I Was Born, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee describes the intoxicating intensity of his own spiritual journey which began when he was sixteen. Three years later he met his teacher and felt a sense of belonging beyond this world. The events that followed over the next twenty-two years tell of tremendous love, psychological breakdown, craziness, bliss, and the slow work of balancing the two worlds -- the inner world of the spirit and the outer demands of everyday family life. This autobiography tells the ancient story of a spiritual transformation, one that took him into the terrifying depths and pushed him beyond every limit. As it made him vulnerable and empty, love showed him her hidden face. The Face Before I Was Born is a splendid autobiography, and will have special appeal for readers seeking their own spiritual perspective.  --Midwest Book Review--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
