Eight years later and I still listen to this, I thought I was dying and I'm alive today... 2010 dark night of the soul, 2018 it's hot summer and I'm fit and healthy....god bless you John

I am not a religious man but Moriarty is the closest I can think of to an authentic saint. His writing can seem impenetrable but if you relax your mind and allow it to soak in gently, without worrying about 'getting it;, it is very rewarding.

i only discovered John Moriarty this week - August 2022. He will now be my companion for the rest of my days. A beautiful, open, inspiring soul.

A wonderful discovery. We all need spiritual teachers who continue to challenge us in the very best ways like john does.

As a funeral chaplain and theology/philosophy graduate no one has influenced me spiritually more than Moriarty. But more, intellectually I would place him 'up there' with many of the great philosophers. A much neglected thinker, mystic, poet and philosopher.

There is only darkness in the hereafter; unless that was only the waiting room I saw. So enjoy your days left.

That is sad for you… Maybe your time was simply not up, old chap. For when you really die there will be Light for you, God willing.
And there it is - the Faith.
It’s never too late for salvation.
May God bless you.
