The Tube: grimy, smelly, crowded, necessary and efficient. There were about 294 million passenger journeys recorded in 2016/17 on the Northern Line, making it the busiest on the Underground. We could perhaps describe the tube as a bitter remedy for transport.Emerging from this grime are some enlightening quotes that TFL (Transport for London) staff have placed at the entrance to some of the stations. It as if they are preparing the traveler for something deeper and higher. Many travelers like the quotes, they stop and take pictures. Blogs, social media, and websites have been set to share the quotes. But can we progress to a `higher dream’, a higher reality from the quotes?The author has used the Northern Line on a daily commute for seven years, but he is also on another journey each day. The path to the direct understanding of reality as it is. In this book, 52 Tube stations on the Northern Line are photographed at dusk and dawn. Each is assigned a quote and the author reflects on the relevance of the quote to that journey.  He also directs the reader to a rich set of free resources that he has made available.  It has a particular emphasis on the Abhidhamma (higher reality) from the Theravada tradition of Buddhism.Promotional video: https://youtu.be/XeVEX9dGVTY
