Jim Morrison and the Secret Gold Mine: Breaking Through The Doors to Hidden Reality and the Mind of God - Paperback (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

by David A. Shiang (Author)

Revealed at Last ... the Monumental Mystery Inside the Music of The Doors

The Doors were one of the most important rock groups of the 1960's, and their longevity and popularity has defied the expectations of nearly all critics. Why? Because most of them, including Robert Cristgau, Lester Bangs, Joan Didion, and Greil Marcus - were entirely keyless. They had no idea what was taking place in the music.

Jim Morrison and the Secret Gold Mine is the first book to explain the monumental vision hidden inside The Doors. Award-winning author David A. Shiang explores how Doors music transports listeners to an unseen world of transcendence and spiritual discovery. Shiang shows why Morrison's lyrics have stood the test of time and why Doors music continues to capture new and old audiences alike.

"Morrison was not only a first-rate poet but also a major thinker. The Doors journeyed into seldom-explored realms of spirituality and consciousness and brought back findings of great importance to all of us. The Doors, especially Morrison, were psycho-spiritual pioneers, and their insights and achievements extend far beyond the world of rock music into areas such as spirituality, science, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and mythology. The significance of their extraordinary vision has yet to be widely recognized."
