When wanting to see something at a great distance, a person usually squints. But what should one do if they want to see what is happening on the other side of the globe? Or for those who strive to delve even deeper and look within themselves? In this case, one should close their eyes, for how else can one grasp what seems so close and yet so deeply hidden that it is almost imperceptible? I would like to hope that, after reading this book and looking deep within themselves, the reader will discover that at least one of the themes touched upon in it has awakened something very familiar in their soul, known to each of us from time immemorial, namely from the beginning of Creation.
