Such Stuff as Dreams Are Made On: The Autobiography and Journals of Helen M. Luke by Helen M. Luke
ajlewis2's review
4.0
Helen Luke writes in depth on her inner journey. I was often left wondering what exactly was going on in her life. I found her sharing of her dreams and what they meant to her to more than make up for the lack of physical details. I see her dedication to the truth within and the way she was led and it has given me a nudge to listen more deeply myself.
The autobiography is written well and is interesting. The second part of the book is excerpts edited from 20 years of her journals right up until she died. I found myself unable to understand what I was reading and skimmed through them. Near the end I found two things that touched me:
"Fully awake, the association came. The Dalai Lama: 'My religion is simply kindness', Jung: 'In the abysmal darkness of the unknown God I found a great kindness.' Is the Guru now to be found inside and outside, beyond duality?"
At the end of a poem "Blow then, ye winds, the colors on their course, The rainbow's end is in the rainbow's source."
