Favourite Spiritual books include;
The Silmarillion,
by JRRTolkien;
"
Charting the Beginning Of Time
& Religious Disillusionment,
Is Notably Biblical in Structure & Tone.
{However}The Monotheistic Presence of Eru is undermined
By the More Dominant Valar, the Demi-Gods,
Who Permit a Polytheistic,
Or even Pagan, View to be Taken.
The Assertion of Creation as Akin to a Musical Symphony,
The Combination of Both Discordant & Harmonious Melodies
In Order to Achieve the Whole,
Suggests Not Christian ideas,
But Rather Several Influencing Spiritual Voices:
"
The voices of the Ainur,
Like unto Harps & Lutes, & Pipes & Trumpets...
Began to Fashion The Theme of Iluvatar
To A Great Music...& the music & the echo went
Out Into The Void, And It Was Not void"
{Silmarillion 15-16}...
Engages with Pre-Christian & Essentially Finnish Myth...
The Mystical Rather Than the Traditionally Religious.
The Truth of the Individual,
Centred upon the Notion of Free Will,
Is Paradoxically in Direct Opposition
To the Predestination of Spiritual Truth,
Thus:
"
This doom she chose
{Luthien chose Death as a Mortal for her Love of Beren}...
Yet In Her Choice the Two Kindreds Have Been Joined:
&
She Is The Forerunner Of Many
In whom the Eldar See Yet,
Though All The World Is Changed"
(Silmarillion 225)."
Sara Upstone.
Based on such Insight as Ms.Upstone's,
The Silmarillion Suggests That We May Choose
To Be Touched By The Noble Virtues Of Elfkind,
That Our Rising Spirit Selves May Become More Than Men,
And That We May Carry These Values Into This World......

For the Universal Importance of Hearing Stories
