About the Book

In the Lakota tradition, William Edelen, through both his age and life's journey, bespeaks the status of holy man. Revered by elders, he smokes of an ancient sacred pipe. While in his 90th year Bill experienced two significant spiritual encounters with nature. This collection of prescient essays honors those experiences. One experience was a face to face meeting with a praying mantis while visiting the hallowed estate of Krishnamurti. The mantis symbolizes stillness, calm, patience, balance and intuition. It is revered in many cultures as the presence of God and a search for the great hunger which is love... a love as though love were in the very blood and bone of ourselves. The second encounter was the gift of a new bovine tissue aortic valve implanted into his heart. Now fortified with the HEART OF A BULL, Bill shares his insights on LIFE RENEWAL and the very BREATH OF LIFE... as he continues his life's journey along the path of his mentor Joseph Campbell, whose mystical guidance told him to "keep pointing them toward the Mystery." This collection of essays continues his mystical journey TOWARD THE MYSTERY.
About the Author: William Edelen was born in West Texas and spent his boyhood there and in Oklahoma City. He flew for twelve years as a U. S. Marine Corp, pilot, flying both fighter planes and transports in World War II and Korea. This included one tour of duty as one of six personal pilots assigned to the staff of the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Washington D. C. He requested a discharge and returned to Oklahoma State University where he received the Bachelor of Science degree in Horticulture and Biology. He then entered McCormick Theological Seminary (on the campus of the University of Chicago) where he received his Masters degree in Theology. Edelen's history -Two years graduate studies in anthropology, University of Colorado. -Lecturer of religion and anthropology, University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA -Weekly columnist for many western newspapers -Special studies with Joseph Campbell, whom the New York Times called "The pre-eminent scholar in Comparative Religions and Mythology." -Active ordained Presbyterian and Congregational minister, 30 years -Author of Toward the Mystery, Spirit, Spirit Dance, and Earthrise (chosen by the National Methodist Women's organization as one of their national study books in 1986.) In 1990 he received a grant from the Annenberg Foundation to promote religious literacy through writing and speaking. He started a Sunday Symposium at Oakmont in Santa Rosa, California, a weekly meeting where he lectured for 45 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of discussion. In 1994, after moving to Palm Springs, California, he started a similar Sunday Symposium at the Palm Springs Tennis Club. It is an outstanding group of free thinkers that meets every other Sunday except August and September. His home base is Palm Springs where he now lives. He has lectured widely in the Western states from Colorado, Idaho and New Mexico to California.
