Having taken to the roguish look to balance his messianic identity, the author embodies what Ralph Alan Dale -- English translator of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching -- calls "the nature of transformation, " whereby "the tendency for everything when it becomes extreme [is] to turn into its opposite." After the World Trade Center disaster, Taba was called on more than ever to execute his savior abilities -- yet now more than ever -- he transformed into an apparently carefree vagabond. In this book, he expresses his word. The author is a modern age shaman, interpreting the messages from the spirit world to spiritualize the material and materialize the spiritual.
