Visible Gods is an imaginary dialogue between Socrates and four fictitious modern-day characters. Socrates' worldview is of a living cosmos with man only half-way up the hierarchy of all beings; above him reign suprahuman beings of great majesty and power - the visible gods.

Douglas Harding completed Visible Gods in 1955. But the "living universe" does not go out of date!

Put aside modern preconceptions and see the world with fresh, innocent, truthful eyes, and be amazed!
