"Piercing. Peter Kingsley is a master of adamantine prose and peerless scholarship. His work is truly worthy of that overworked term wisdom. And he is a master stylist: he turns you upside down and inside out without your knowing it is happening. This book will inspire, delight and enlighten many but will also challenge others because it is a mirror that reflects our most stubborn prejudices about the origins of our most sacrosanct cultural beliefs. And for that, Peter Kingsley deserves the highest praise." --Larry Dossey, M.D., author,Reinventing MedicineandThe Power of Premonitions, In this profoundly erudite and eloquent book is a startling ancient secret that will forever alter the way we think about the origins of western civilization." —Pir Zia Inayat Khan, This is a small book. You can read it in an hour. I suggest that you read it several times and really get the golden idea at its core. Then bring that idea to everything you do—every decision, every choice, every plan, every interpretation. Live by an entirely different guidance. Walk like you've never walked before." —Thomas Moore, author, Care of the Soul and The Re-enchantment of Everyday Life, "Let this book wake you up into new sunlight. It is not just a book, and so to be read with the mind. Peter Kingsley's voice is a friend, and also a way of seeing, of remembering essence, of walking in a great circle around an island you have always loved, but only rarely visited." --Coleman Barks, translator of Rumi, Peter Kingsley is more than a master storyteller. He is a magician who reveals the golden thread of truth which makes its way through time and space, secretly holding the fabric of our world together. A Story Waiting to Pierce You reveals the surprisingly mystical origins, and purpose, of western culture as well as what it means to participate in its eternal unfolding right now." —Adyashanti, "[ A Story Waiting to Pierce You is] earth-shattering, history-breaking . . . awakens the Western soul by digging more deeply into its origins that are far more diverse and profound than most of us have ever known. . . . [It is] vivid . . . masterful." --Matthew Fox, author, Christian Mystics and The Hidden Spirituality of Men, "Piercing. Peter Kingsley is a master of adamantine prose and peerless scholarship.

Synopsis
Revealing a forgotten truth in the present day, this account illuminates the crumbling political and economic structures of the West, shedding light on an ongoing and arduous search for a sense of purpose. Recounting a true story, this exploration tells of a wandering Mongol shaman who made a dramatic appearance around the Mediterranean centuries before the time of Christ. Highlighting how this nomad came as an envoy on a mission of purification, this study records how he met with a man who became tremendously influential in Western science, philosophy, culture, and religion: Pythagoras. The essence of Western civilization is said to have originated from this meeting, and this examination argues that today's conflicts and tensions have stemmed from taking this monumental occasion for granted, forgetting that there must be a greater meaning to life than everyday efforts and struggles. Reflecting on a time when Eastern and Western cultures were one, this evocation contends that there is still a common spiritual heritage to all civilizations. A unique collaboration between the author and archaeologists, historians, and shamans from around the world, this document has the potential to change the future for all.
