J. P. Danna has been a member of The Rosicrucian Order (A.M.O.R.C.) since 1976. His spiritual beliefs and profession as a neuromuscular therapist have nurtured an interest in the subtle functions of the endocrine system and psychology of the body. Through his contemplations and studies of A Course in Miracles and the Hermetic philosophy of The Kybalion, his most profound inspirations occurred after he acknowledged the essence of all life as one. What started as a short story developed its own momentum, compelling him to write what evolved to The Narrow Gate: A Journey Through Identity, Belief, and Perception.
