    About this ebook

    In the Muses of a Modern Mystic, OluDumare explores social and spiritual problems through the heart and mind of the protaganist, a seeker named Salim. In Rumi-like fashion, Salim sells his cleverness in order to buy bewilderment. Although he is endowed with much knowledge, spiritual insight and is well acquainted with metaphysical mysteries but in order to learn he purposely makes himself a student. He often appears naive but in this fashion he continuously grows because he never allows ego to close the door to learning. An old soul in a new eon, "Muses" highlights the difficulty in espousing ancient teachings with modern values.
