Opis

I devoted years to the study of the teachings of one of the world's great humanitarians, the medical missionary, theologian, philosopher, organist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Dr. Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965). I thought about his life and pondered over his statements, such as: When you portray me it should be not as the doctor who ministered to the sick. It is my philosophy of 'Reverence for Life' that I consider my primary contribution to the world, and Will we be able again to entertain and exercise ideals which transform reality? This is the question before us today. I found that his words are as valid today, as when he spoke them. In 'Physician of the Soul', I used letters I had addressed the 'Man of the Century', Albert Schweitzer. I used this format as a process to describe the changes in consciousness occurring as I proceed with my quest for growth, truth and understanding. I describe my childhood and my experience of marriage and divorce, to my mentor and teacher, who had become my ideal of what a human being is capable of becoming. I address the subjects of meditation, reincarnation, karma, intuition, responsibility, purpose and how they relate to our destiny. ignorance and fear, I discovered that I am a soul growing through every experience. Life is the journey, leading us to the path, not only of self-discovery, but a journey of remembrances. I talk to my teacher about the truth I discovered, that life itself is my teacher. Looking at myself has been the most painful, and at the same time, the most liberating experience of my life. I also found that comparison to someone else causes pain, suffering and unhappiness. I present the reader with the opportunity to undertake his or her own courageous journey towards liberation and self-healing, as Know Thyself becomes the quest.
