FROM THE INTRODUCTION, BY DENNIS PATRICK SLATTERY

In all the articles, books, talks, courses, and interviews I have created, each expected something from me. My own growing awareness of the universal stories clinging to my partial, sometimes tattered plot, has dismantled barriers between myself and others. Reading and writing become generous acts of liberation from my own narrow-gauged desires and needs. In such liberation we are put in touch with a story's meaning for us now, yet always susceptible to editing to deepen an initial insight.

FROM THE FOREWORD, BY ROGER C. BARNES

Still, I know Dennis, and I've learned from him. The reader of this volume will come to know and learn from him as well. What you will learn is the mystery of exploration, the exploration of an interior world of the human spirit. One will learn this world through stories and myth. Dennis is the master storyteller, and it is through stories that the myths that shape and guide us are revealed.
