Publisher Description
Rapture, or Heaven, is one of the six lower worlds in human existence. So say the Buddhists. Rapture sounds heavenly, but it is a temporary life condition. It gives extreme pleasure which does not last. And yet, many human beings chase Rapture for lifetimes. They allow it to become their dominant world. Meet one such human being, Peter Michael Blanton. Meet the creature who rules his psyche, the orangutan Pongo, who tries to promote the four higher worlds to young Peter...and fails. For Peter's psyche has fallen prey to the world of Rapture and her fellows, the other five lower worlds: Hell, Hunger, Animality, Anger...and Humanity.
Peter, of course, is not alone in the world. He has adoptive parents, he has a gifted counsellor...and he has a birth family which comes from Hell, itself. Could anyone in Peter's situation overcome such dire circumstance? Come with him, grow with him, and ponder the answer to this question.
