PRAISE FOR MEMBRANES OF MYSTERY
Membranes of Mystery: A Cosmic Book of Hours …Conlon invites the reader to explore the wider horizons of human experience which he has traversed – soul-scapes both intimate and vast – aided by the revelatory maps and wise orienteers that have been his guides as he, now, becomes ours…

Jim Conlon writes like a pilgrim weaving a loom, threading a pathway, enveloping a membrane, leaving for the rest of us traces of a new mysticism, a more engaging spiritual wisdom for our time. Adopting the liminal images of dawn and dusk, he draws us into a more reflective engagement, centered upon the ups and downs of daily life, consistently embellished with the vision of the new cosmic story.

In this moment of history, humankind’s urgent task is to live out of a unitive consciousness that honors the connectedness of all life – to become “cosmological persons.” Living from such a transpersonal orientation requires that we avail ourselves to Mystery, the creative spirit who is the source of all being. In Membranes of Mystery: A Book of Hours Jim Conlon invites us into the practice of “engaged cosmology,” providing a space in which cosmology, tradition and person story bring us to the brink of Mystery. Written a book of hours, the reflections, poetry and quotations in Membranes of Mystery: A Cosmic Book of Hours invites us into a place where we begin to grow in the awareness of who we really are, cosmological beings to all that is. Allow this book to companion you, to lead you to the brink of Mystery – and then let go!
