Alison Elizabeth Marshall is a spiritual cartographer, who maps the mystical teachings of Baha'u'llah through prose, imagery, and philosophical enquiry.

Born in New Zealand in 1959, she has walked with Baha'u'llah for over four decades, not as a scholar or preacher, but as a companion of the heart. Her path has been shaped by resilience, reverence, and a fierce commitment to truth.

Though she holds degrees in Arts and Law, her deepest education has come through mystical texts and the long, slow work of healing. Her book, Paradise of Presence, distills Baha'u'llah's teachings into poetic thresholds and symbolic maps. Dyslexic and panoramic in thought, Alison writes in landscapes, not lines?offering sanctuary rather than instruction.

Now retired from business writing, she lives in the countryside and continues to study and write about the philosophical and mystical texts of Baha'u'llah. Her work is not commentary. It's companionship.
