'In this cross-cultural study, James Powell reveals in text and illustrations how people all over the world have attempted to emancipate their thought. Citing Zen Buddhism, the Druids, T. S. Eliot, Saint John of the Cross, sacred writings of India, Chinese seers, the Hopi Indians, and other diverse examples, he shows how poetry, prayer, meditation, questioning, and other techniques may be used to transcend the confines of the symbolism imposed by one's particular culture.'
