Review Quotes:
"The 'vision quest' is a Native American term which refers to a youth coming of age who keeps a solitary vigil seeking spiritual power and knowledge through a vision. Dunne. . . also seeks a vision. The modern vision of the world is a vision of evolution--life evolving from matter, intelligence arising from life. The ancient vision was a vision of emanation--everything cascading down from the One. Dunne imagines bringing the two together into a great circle, everything coming from God and returning to God, where everything is 'from God and of God and towards God.'" --Theology Digest
