Almost everybody has known a moment when everyday life opens out of the trivial into something more profound and important. We spend most of our waking hours ruled by schedules, appointments and the clock. Then suddenly, at rare moments, we glimpse a quite different dimension - the timeless world of 'Being' behind the 'passing-time' of our everyday lives.

Yet far too often, argues Bruce Thomas in this challenging book, we ignore these intimations of a deeper truth.
