He describes "The Golden World" as glimpses of divine beauty that we can see everyday - hints of the afterlife that awaits each of us. He begins with an account of his near-death car accident when he was 11 years old. During his hospital visit, his leg began bleeding inside the cast (although none of the doctors or nurses were aware of it). As he mysteriously felt his life draining away, he experienced his first vision of The Golden World. Eventually his nurse discovered the bleeding and saved his life, but it was too late to save his leg, and it was amputated. This horrific childhood experience helped shape his personality and establish his rich inner life.

Simultaneously personal and universal, The Golden World provides a multitude of ideas for realizing individual potential.
