Much of spiritual literature available today focuses on the 'positive' aspects of a seeker's journey, rarely acknowledging that little understood but inevitable phase he or she goes through called 'the dark night'. This little book, an ensemble of insights and profound wisdom expressed in verse and prose, offers guidance and companionship to those who question the meaning and purpose of their lives at this juncture. The Allegory of the Desert shows them that they are, contrary to their belief, experiencing the exalted state of 'Unknowing' which, if borne through to the end, will take them to a higher level of Being.
