The meditation in this volume are not some new doctrines, but the memoirs of a mystic who has had the courage to see reality and therefore was full of compassion and love for all beings and all thinks, who "delighted in evreything and in nothing". In a sence they were autobiographical: they portray the painful route by which Tony was led in the last years of his life to divest himself of all belief systems, ideologies, formulae and attachmants to come to life, to love, to freedom, to be alone.
Tony begins each meditation with aScripture text. some may object that the texts are used merely as pegs to hang his ideas. True, Tony does not give an exegisis of the text; these reflections are the very personal meditaions of a mystic, for whom the ultimate goal of a person is freedom from everything, a state where one " delights in everythings and in nothing", where one loves unconditionally. He draws out the deeper, personal insights of these texts beyond all exegesis.
These are powerful meditation to help us break out of our prison of conditionings, free us from our formulae which prevent us from seeings reality. These lead us to realize that the order to read thruth we do not need more doctrinal formulations, but a heart that divests itself of all its programmings, its self-interest - a heart that nothing to ambition forth, and hence is fearless and free. 

From the foreword by Joseph Mattam, S.J.
