Book excerpt: From a young age, Joy's life is punctuated by the waves of a deep, existential crisis, which spurs her onto the path of self-discovery. She comes to realise that relationships, which she deems to be the meaning of her life, imply more than intimate relations with men. Joy seeks to find inner meaning from all outer events; to live life using the spiritual insights she discovers about the human mind, emotions and the One Life that animates all forms. She experiments with what she believes is the human potential for creative manifestation, visioning a place called The Haven - an eco-home, where social and educational projects are underway. Despite her spiritual knowledge, Joy finds herself struggling with the vicissitudes of life, including unemployment and the death of loves ones. She finds her soul mate in Gino, who helps her to address the crises she faces without pulling her back under the veil of mind-made illusions. In time, The Haven becomes a reality - exactly as she had imagined it. Joy, however, has developed expanded mental and spiritual capacities. In the twilight, one evening, without hesitation, she transits consciously out of her physical life into the unseen world.
