Simply to experience myself as being is to feel the being of all there is, the mystery that being is. And no one who has ever had this experience will ask what is the use of it. But how do we have this experience? That is what this book is about. And it is not a how-to book. "How do I get it?" is in the same order of questioning as "What use is it?" The proper question is "How am I getting it, now, without realizing it?" Justus George Lawler points us to the many occasions in life when the experience can occur the things in the structure of our existence that create space for it. He has a fine knack for pointing up these looseners of our compact triviality. The primary one is language. On the potential surprises and revelation in language, Lawler is second to no author I know.
