In the Greater Scheme of Things A philosophical & inspirational view of some of the ultimate questions regarding human existence and the nature of the universe. A majority of the book takes an aphoristic approach in presenting lifes deeper questions of existence and the views of some of the best minds on the subject. Its underlying premise is that the answers to the larger questions of existence transcend materialistic rationalisms linear thinking and are best approached in the non-linearity of myth and poetry as was originally formulated at the roots of our western civilization and that these insights arose from a wise silence that lies at the roots of our being.
