The Land Beyond the Horizon - an African Mystic Play and Poetry Mark O'doherty

'The Land beyond the Horizon' is a mystic play, conveying respect and understanding for diversity of religion, philosophy and spirituality. It also contains elements of Egyptian mythology and Rosicrucian philosophy, like the altruistic ideal of "Bringing back the Greater Light to humanity" - which is in essence not much different from the ideal of world peace. In fact, 'The Land beyond the Horizon' in this play symbolises just that; the long and difficult journey which humanity still has to travel, before global peace can be manifested; on a collective, macrocosmic level level, and also on an individual level. The play stipulates the philosophy that "Evil" exists in this world - and even in our hearts - but that we also have the power to vanquish "Evil", by acting together in solidarity, if we are willing to identify and confront that evil. The volume also contains poetry, where Mark evokes the mystic, primordial beauty of Africa, taking you on a fantastic journey to the Land Beyond the Horizon!
