Our life journey, an experience full of adventure and mystery, is one that we all travel through the sands of time. From time immemorial, countless philosophers have sought the essence of our humanity, and the most devout religious practitioners have dedicated their lives to the search of Truth. But for those of us with other professions who lead modest lives in our communities, how can the pursuit of the deepest philosophical questions help us become better people and contribute to a better world? How can introspection and contemplation bring tangible rewards to our daily lives? "Journey on the Level" uses the symbols and non-sectarian traditions of Freemasonry, a popular and historical civic organization, as a framework to discuss the essence of our humanity, regardless of race, religion, culture, or social status. Written in easily-accessible language, complete with examples from daily life, it takes us on a journey to learn the greatest lessons that life has to offer. With practical ideas communicated through analogies and anecdotes, we emerge from this journey with a new perspective that inspires us to look at everyday experiences in a different and more meaningful way, no matter the circumstances. Life-changing wisdom is all around us. It is simply up to us to discover it. Each moment is valuable. Each second is to be cherished. Each day is a gift.
