The Rose of Baghdad

<p>The book speaks of a journey a journey awakening in a place that I had no interest in being in lost and never quite feeling like you belonged anywhere here. Being confirmed as a Catholic and feeling that there was nothing of value within the prerequisite spiel projected by the various nuns and priests I intuitively knew that there had to be something of much greater value beneath all that was known as 'Religion'. </p> <p>So from an early age I just knew I had to find out what was behind it all. This was my time to go home my search took a lifetime I found that if you truly wanted to find the truth about God then God will place the information somewhere in your path sometimes a book will mysteriously appear in your path. Sometimes certain people are placed in front of you for a time that will steer you in the right direction. But regardless the truth will come. Organized religion has a place in the world but as I found out it is nothing more than a stepping stone a stage that the soul must go through until it intuitively knows and yearns for the whole truth. </p> <p>This was my journey a journey of being lost in a wilderness of confusion and having a vague idea that there was something of great beauty underlying all that occurs on earthto a place of inner peace and of knowing that what we really are cannot ever die or cease to exist a rare commodity if one refers to any newspaper. My journey was not without loss the journey home requires facing every fear that you have as I did but as I discovered fear cannot exist in our real home it should not exist here. </p>
