'Hildegard of Bingen lived in the Rhineland during the twelfth century, and now, 800 years later, her extraordinary high awareness is suddenly illuminating our vision as we approach the twenty-first century. At age forty-two she found herself overwhelmed by a force to write down, to paint, and to set her visions to music. The resulting creation was Scivias ("Know the Ways"), which may be the most complete documentation of a mystical illumination experience in the history of the human race.'
