Spirit of a Pathless Land

By Leonard Mckinloch

Spirit of a Pathless Land

Spirit of a Pathless Land is a tale of symbiotic polar liberation. It guides the reader on a flow of conscious journey that investigates the complementary truths of personal liberation and societal freedom. As our protagonists, Koan and Iona crisscross paths, they chart a course beyond the existential obstacle of mind. Through a process of quantum holography, this epiphany is evidenced on a macro or societal scale.

For the individual this story triumphs unlimited potential and the actualization of all compassionate possibility. For the collective, a shared realization of the mechanics of community is evidenced by the recognition of governing philosophies that steer convention with the dynamic of sovereign tribal autonomy.

With respect for the profound understanding evidenced by the speeches of Jiddhu Krishnamurti, the novel Spirit of a Pathless Land takes the reader on a refreshing tour of the psyche, to a space unchartable by words. The insubstantial nature of thought and the implications of meditation converge in poetic wonder. Far removed from the contemporary travelogue, this is a discovery of innate truth and a liberative examination of spirituality, society, and the dazzling void.

Through parallel narratives, we journey to an honest realization of transcendental reality, beyond illusive concepts or fixed mental constructs. The primary thesis of the plot can be encapsulated by the natural holistic inter-connectedness of all beings. The story champions pure freedom and liberation that breaks through the shackles of limited and illusory concepts of identity and promotes an integrated abundance paradigm.

The Witch of Portobello

The Witch of Portobello, by Paulo Coelho. How do we find the courage to always be true to ourselves—even if we are unsure of whom we are? That is the central question of international bestselling author Paulo Coelho's profound new work, The Witch of Portobello. It is the story of a mysterious woman named Athena, told by the many who knew her well—or hardly at all. Among them:

"People create a reality and then become the victims of that reality. Athena rebelled against that—and paid a high price." -Heron Ryan, journalist

"I was used and manipulated by Athena, with no consideration for my feelings. She was my teacher, charged with passing on the sacred mysteries, with awakening the unknown energy we all possess. When we venture into that unfamiliar sea, we trust blindly in those who guide us, believing that they know more than we do." -Andrea McCain, actress

"Athena's great problem was that she was a woman of the twenty-second century living in the twenty-first, and making no secret of the fact, either. Did she pay a price? She certainly did. But she would have paid a still higher price if she had repressed her natural exuberance. She would have been bitter, frustrated, always concerned about 'what other people might think,' always saying, 'I'll just sort these things out, then I'll devote myself to my dream,' always complaining 'that the conditions are never quite right.'" -Deidre O'Neill, known as Edda

Like The Alchemist, The Witch of Portobello is the kind of story that will transform the way readers think about love, passion, joy, and sacrifice. Paulo Coelho is one of the most beloved writers of our time. With sales of over 85 million copies worldwide, his books have been translated into 63 languages and published in 150 countries. He is the recipient of numerous prestigious international awards and was inducted into the Brazilian Academy of Letters in 2002. Mr. Coelho also writes a weekly column syndicated throughout the world.
