The Journey Within is a literary gem. The plot reincarnates a single identity across boundless millennia on a quest for enlightenment, or more specifically, (Vedanta) - beyond the limits of self-identity. The experience is provocative, gripping and wonderfully entertaining.

Robert Ross is a master stylist and storyteller. In Journey, he somehow manages to compress the disparate worlds of Jean Auel, Edmond Rostand, Louis L'Amour and J.D. Salinger into a single compelling 240 page adventure - a remarkable exploit; and a trip well worth taking.

Every man ponders. Every man reaches toward it. Few ever really find peace in a clear answer. This delightful meander through one man's search for understanding takes you on a fascinating adventure through time. Mike's quest has been paralleled in many lifetime's, each one leaving the final question not quite deciphered. As the incarnations each meet their unique set of challenges in different settings, the timeless nature of the underlying needs and emotions emerge. Losely tied together in the netherland between awakening and sleep, the Universal Wisdom moves Mike toward his answer. Acceptance of what is put before you. It is the journey and not the destination. Life's Loves are perfect in the moment of their flowering but etherial when one trys to hold them in a firm and permanent grip. Ross's grasp of the universal experience touches strings most men will readily identify with.

Fun!...Takes me back to my days of travel and those special relationships that develop while on travel.
