This story of a boy who searches for truth is an allegory for the journey we are all on in this lifetime that involves questioning and ultimately discovering why we came and what we intended to do to make a difference in the world. In many ways the boy's quest reflects our journey to discover meaning and purpose for our life, which can be found within. It is also about understanding our connection to all things and ultimately realizing our own innate Divinity.
The journey is suspenseful, mystical, heart-warming, and funny as the old man and boy clash and come together in remarkable ways.
"Everything you want is within you. You do not have to travel anywhere or search as many do for a lifetime-always believing happiness and wisdom are somewhere else. They are not. It is all within you. So, despite what many have believed for thousands of years, the pilgrimage is not a trek along a dusty trail in a faraway place. It is right where you are-wherever that is".
~ Archangel Michael
