Unmasking the Sacred: The Hidden Truth Behind the Monkey’s Disguise
In the beginning, the idea had included a mental image of the journey. Naturally, this turned out to have no basis in reality. Nevertheless, the author was open to whatever occurred. Each location would be a new home, each a new normal.
From the start in Europe, Indian energy seemed to be everywhere. The author felt completely at home with this. This flow continued right up to arrival in Istanbul, Turkiye aboard the Orient Express. The bazaar, hammams, and chai shops became stepping stones to Asian culture. The chai shops, in particular, hosted congregations of travelers heading East and sharing information. Rumi and Konya were selected to start the journey. The visit was extended for two weeks when adopted by a family. Then it was to Iran with its holy sites and magnificent shrines. After less than a month there, Afghanistan was on the path. At first it seemed like Wild West America–the Western mind hardly made sense of it. There was a new intensity, yet with a flow.
