The spiritual path is fraught with contradictions and pitfalls. People who are familiar with it may not even refer to it as a path. The questions about the nature of our thinking and our language are so pressing that it is impossible to speak of spiritual development and enlightenment without scrutiny. Leo Hartong does not claim to have achieved anything in this context. However, he has understood quite a bit. For example, the fundamental fact that we are always dreaming. According to the insights of this Dutch mystic, it is better to know that you are dreaming than to get lost in the dream of ultimate awakening. For those who live with clarity have the freedom to choose their dream and even laugh about it. This freedom is expressed in "Awakening from the Dream," the enlightening letter from a good friend.
