Written with Light: A personal journey beyond the veil of consciousness

In this autobiographical account, Steven Henson tells the story behind the transmission of his book The Unity of Being — The Science of Consciousness. Narrated in his own voice, it offers a personal account of the experiences and understanding through which the work came into being, and his own journey to spiritual union.

What does it mean for spiritual understanding to become a lived reality? How does what we know give way to what we directly perceive—and how can that insight lead towards Union?

Steven approaches these questions through his own experience. He reflects on the encounters, influences, and unfolding understanding that shaped his journey, and on the emergence of a work whose central concern is the Unity of Being.

Among the spiritual influences he acknowledges are Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi, Bulent Rauf, The Shivapuri Baba and Louise L. Hay.

The result is both a memoir and a companion to The Unity of Being that invites the listener into the personal background of the work: the human journey through which its expression became possible, and the relationship between that journey and the understanding it conveys.

For those who have read The Unity of Being, this recording offers a more intimate encounter with its author and origins. For those coming to it for the first time, it provides a personal introduction to Steven's journey—from his first steps as a complete beginner, through the absorption of spiritual knowledge and the awakening of personal insight, to Union.
