It is not a path of the Old Age, nor is it of the New Age. It is Ageless, beyond the limitations of time. It is the Way of the Mystic. There are three primary questions whose answers dictate the quality and fullness of each of our lives. They are: Who am I? Where am I going? How do I get there? The ancient Greek philosophers maintained that a life worth living is in direct relation to the quality of the questions and subsequent answers one develops with regard to these three inquiries. In Body of Time, Soul of Eternity, Jerry Thomas explores these three critical questions, distilling the teachings of the great saints and philosophers of both East and West to provide answers that resonate deep within us and transform our world perspective. It describes succintly the spiritual journey from knowledge to wisdom while making it ultimately clear why: "Nothing short of the direct experience of God will ever complete our humanity or satisfy our needs for wholeness and fulfillment."
