A PILGRIMAGE OF SELF-REALIZATION IN THE WORLD OF COMPETITIVE CYCLING. The Mystic, is a memoir of enlightened understanding through the characteristics of intimate relationships, and an invitation to witness the transformation of the illusory perspective of the ego and its gradual deconstruction through Self-inquiry on the path of self-surrender. A modern-day mystic and truth lover, an American expat espoused in professional European cycling, shares the enigmatic journey of how a compelling and divine intelligence orchestrated paths of awareness congruous with her marriage to an Olympic Champion from France until numinous glimpses amid the COVID-19 pandemic initiated an invitation to a secret, silent quest for the highest truth and self-knowing—the absolute demand for the direct experience of the true self on the Path of Sri Ramana Maharishi. The Mystic, an impassioned anecdote through revelations and an intense self-investigation, sends a message to all seekers of truth awakening in the midst of love's ambiguity.
