WHERE ON EARTH IS HEAVEN
Author(s): STEDALL JONATHAN
This is an exploration of life's mysteries prompted by the author's young son asking: Where on earth is heaven? This led to the TV series, "The Long Search", and to film making in the African Bush with Lawrence van der Post, the hill temples of northern India, San Francisco, a Taiwanese funeral, by train to Arcadia and by bicycle through the lanes of Cornwall - and through his encounter with scientists, artists and philosophers. He believes that a new spirituality is emerging that goes beyond the dualism of phrases like 'spirit and matter', life and death', heaven and earth'.
