There are many. Everyone has within a glimmer of the divine flame, but some glow so hot it's hard to miss. You are already probably knowing the four or five best-selling writers on spirituality, so I will not repeat them here; but I would like to be introducing you to Dean Sluyter. His Cinema Nirvana and Zen Commandments are masterpieces of creative clarity and humor and insight. Sluyter can "lighten up" the search for enlightenment with brilliant effect.
Another Great Soul is the American author Byron Katie. A "lit lady" and a very down-to-Earth teacher, she seems to have found a profound wisdom, and I am finding she helps many break their mental chains with a process she calls "The Work." Learning to love the world by questioning one's assumptions and thoughts, she and her husband, Stephen Mitchell, have written A Thousand Names for Joy and Loving What Is. I hope you will be finding them as fulfilling as a yummy bowl of Beach Boysenberry. Bon Appetit!
