Hermeneutic Interpretation

Those on
the Path of Knowing, seek
the signs of guidance. Out
of the Universal, Truth calls its
own, lighting its beacon-fire upon
the mountain top, to attract the
way-fairing pilgrim in the valley.
To all who can see that
beacon-light, I, as a fellow
pilgrim, lovingly dedicate
this volume.
