"A dynamic and thought-provoking account of one man’s spiritual and artistic evolution....This book acts as a challenge to skeptics and a heartfelt appeal to the open-minded....serves as a powerful treatise on spiritual discovery and provokes thoughtful introspection in regards to one's spirituality." |

"In every stage of his development—both spiritual and creative—this musician/artist/fiction writer/philosopher creates a complex "palette" of perspectives. Beginning with this multiplicity he strives to reach a simplicity that retains the original rich complexity, much like the miraculous harmony that comes of mixing the color on a palette....the reader will return again and again to "Interplay" in search of anchor points, synchronicity and synthesis in one's own spiritual journey." |

"Devotees of art and spiritual exploration will find much to contemplate in Interplay. Weaving various art forms together with spiritual and psychic exploration cannot help but motivate those who wish to use their own art as a means to awakening." |

"Abu-Shakra has undergone a profound exploration of psychic and spiritual awareness. He does a wonderful job of showing how science, metaphysics, psychology and spirituality intersect in human existence ... I like, above all, the way Abu-Shakra has used his genius therapeutically--therein is a potent message for other artists endowed with talent, and perhaps, sight." |
