Like a Dream Come True

A Christian Mystical Text Containing The Revelation Made To A Young Girl In A Benedictine Monastery In The Mountains Of Austria In 1974. It Is A Revelation Of The Extraordinary Quality Of The Love Of God Communicated Not Through Light And Joy But Through A Dark And Powerful Suffering Which She Identified As The Mystery Of Christ''S Cross. The Original Manuscript Was Faithfully Written Down As A Direct Record Of This Experience. It Takes The Form Of A Dialogue Or Interaction Between God As The Lover Of The Soul And Maria As His Beloved. A Major Theme Is The Struggle Of The Beloved To Overcome The Yes Buts Of Human Nature In Order To Be Able To Say A Perfect Yes To Her Maker. Each Dialogue Moves Through Suffering And Miscomprehension Towards Final Happiness And Liberation Prefiguring The Change From Death To Resurrection. The Manuscript Remained A Puzzle To Its Writer For Eighteen Years At Which Point She Gained An Insight Into The Moment Of Self-Yielding Which Transforms The Suffering Into Bliss. It Was Then Whilst Staying In An Austrian Farmhouse On A Mountain-Side That She Wrote The Poetry Which Re-Interprets The Text As A Hymn To The Star-Love Of Ecstatic Intensity. Over Thirty Years After The Original Event Realising The Experience May Also Have Meaning For Others The Writer Worked On The Manuscripts. During A Period Of Deep Reflection At Her Home In Scotland She Then Wrote The Commentaries. She Hopes That This Book A Lifetime''S Endeavour May Prove Enlightening To Others As To The Nature Of God''S Love.
