Poet Michael Hedley Burton has written a series of poems that
attempt to grasp that illusive experience of selfhood. In the
book's foreword he writes that there are two different kinds of
self accessible to us, one built up from our earthly experience and
the other overshadowing this as a kind of "higher self." The drama
of who we are is founded very much on the kind of relationship
existing within us between these two selves. The "Thirty-three
Meditations" is a deeply Christian study - but not Christian in the
sense of allegiance to any fixed form of religion. Here the
emphasis is on one's own personal relationship to the divine
within. In the final section we are taken into images that Burton
received from a study of "The Fifth Gospel" - lectures given in
1913 by Rudolf Steiner. In looking for the essence of selfhood he
found himself confronting the one known as Jesus of Nazareth whose
destiny it was to sacrifice his earthly ego to become the bearer of
the Christ. These are poems that will appeal to anyone who thinks
deeply about life and who wants a book that can be kept by the
bedside and studied over a period of time, always giving further
thoughts. One reader, a psychologist, called it "33 forms of
healing medicine for the human ego."
