It is also "Attracted in early life by the magico-poetic mask that Christianity turns to the innocent, the author fell for the seductions of the Roman Catholic Church, long before the rash of ecumenism tarnished the power and the glory. Her childhood dream seemed fulfilled when she became a nun in the austere contemplative Order of Carmel. At this point in her controversial pilgrimage she introduces us to the first shadowy sign of a long, slow process of disillusionment. It begins with the sense of Unreality which clouds the whole course of her conventual life, and leads her, eventually, to seek the Reality of Jesus in a lonely and desperate study of the gospels. Her search is rewarded-but by what a ' Reality'! For the Figure that emerges, enigmatic, ambivalent, disconcerts and dismays her, and becomes, ultimately, horrifyingly unacceptable. This Man's obsession with Hell-fire and everlasting torments of the Damned, betrays a schizophrenic personality. The fatal flaw in his character invalidates his Messianic claim and renders meaningless his message of love. The work of enlightenment is completed long after the nun, released from her Vows, has continued her journey of Faith in a difficult world.
