Once I began to quiet my mind, I discovered that there were many moments in my life which lent themselves towards a vibrant type of spiritual experience.f we might only remove the shroud of fear, we might see the presence of the holy of holies within ourselves. At such a moment, there is a complete understanding of the mystery and beauty of our own place in the universe, and that each of us -- despite whatever illusion to the contrary -- is in fact the universe.
The Dark Tower (series) For other uses, see The Dark Tower (disambiguation). The Dark Tower is a series of books written by American author Stephen King that incorporates themes from multiple genres, including dark fantasy, science fantasy, horror, and Western. It describes a gunslinger and his quest toward a tower, the nature of which is both physical and metaphorical.
There had been reports in the past that claimed the adaptation is actually based on the author's third book, The Waste Lands, where much of The Dark Tower mythology was laid out, but that was never confirmed. Author Stephen King now says that the movie will start out in a very familiar place for fans of the book. The plot of The Waste Lands follows Roland Deschain (Idris Elba) and his ka-tet's efforts to reach out to Jake (Tom Taylor), who is from a different place and time, on their quest to find The Dark Tower.
