Abandoning at age 30 what promised to be a lucrative law practice,
John Collins escaped to Spain for a three-year sabbatical to search
for the meaning of life. In SEEING THE UNSEEN: Opening the Closed
Circuit of Everyday Consciousness, he relates his findings in
maxims and identifies seven impediments that commonly hinder our
capacity to render our everyday experience of people, places and
things intelligible, meaningful and joyful. Collins believes the
greatest obstacle to realizing personal fulfillment, or salvation
or the Kingdom of God is psychological. Living our lives almost
entirely on the conscious surface of Self, we neglect the
unconscious core of our being, resulting in the inability of the
whole Self to truly see and know reality. Collins suggests that
religion's finest hour may come when it assumes responsibility for
healing this rupture in our innermost being, allowing us to achieve
greater understanding of ourselves, of the world and ultimately, of
God.John Collins is a nearly retired general practice attorney in
Bucks County, Pa., who graduated with honors in philosophy from
Johns Hopkins University, and was subsequently awarded a law degree
from the Harvard Law School in 1957. He also attended the Sorbonne,
Catholic University, Princeton Theological Seminary and Villanova
University for special studies. He served with the 82nd Airborne
Division during the Korean War. He also served as a public
defender, as an assistant district attorney, and as an unsuccessful
candidate for the Pennsylvania state legislature. He is married and
the father of three children.
