In this book, priest and archaeologist, Fr Eugene Stockton, continues with his life-long exploration of consciousness and deep consciousness. It's a book about how we think, and how we relate – to our own selves, to one another, to others in the world around us, and to God and the numinous/spiritual dimension of Life. His study is set around the Visit of Martha and Mary with Jesus as recounted in the Gospel of St Luke [10:38-42] and, more particularly, the puzzling response of Jesus to Martha when she complained that Mary was just sitting and listening to Jesus while she did all the work serving them some food. Jesus replied: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her.”

Why did Jesus suggest Mary had “chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her”? This is what set Fr Eugene Stockton, on his decade’s long exploration of consciousness and deep consciousness.
