Silo – the “Sage of the Andes” – was a towering figure in the late 20 th and early 21 st century. The sheer magnitude and thematic variety of his philosophical, ethical, and spiritual contribution makes it important to understand his legacy.
Silo dedicated his life to the healing of personal and social suffering – by opening a spiritual horizon that would lead individuals and the species to experience increased happiness and freedom. This extraordinary writer and thinker left us an extremely rich heritage during a very special historical period.
This biography is a personal vision replete with rich anecdotes recounted during extensive interviews with people who knew and worked with Silo. But it isn’t a eulogy; it’s a warm account of Silo’s life, of his process and of his contributions in the different realms of human thought, feeling and action.
Silo’s call for internal unity as a style of life and behavior is nothing new, but it is nevertheless significant given the depth and simplicity of his message. The singular concept that his message should be open to each person’s free interpretation gives clear testimony that Silo’s life was his work: a gift for all human beings, to be received and interpreted individually by all.
On Wings of Intent offers a glimpse into the life of a writer, poet, spiritual guide, thinker, philosopher, and most important, an individual who made an extraordinary contribution to human development.
