Over the ages, many have guessed that the great search for inner peace has something to do with the resolution of opposites... but few have tried to explain exactly how ordinary people can utilize this idea in terms of their own journey towards the kind of spiritual and emotional wholeness that are its attainable, but elusive, prerequisites. Martin Cohen, writing for readers of all faiths, attempts to resolves sixteen different paradoxes... and, in so doing, to propose a rational framework for productive, goal-oriented meditation.
