This collection of brash, wise, and compassionate essays by Western Baul Lee Lozowick is an inspiring read for everyone interested in the transformation process. Adrift on the currents of worldly concerns, many who are serious about the spiritual path wonder how we can live our day-to-day lives with integrity and honor, in resonance with eternal truths. The spiritual guide is the crucial resource in this endeavor: in the loud, noisy marketplace of today's world, the teacher sometimes has to shout to be heard. From whisper to roar, it is the sound of the teacher's voice that calls us to sanity and true selfhood. Lozowick, with his characteristic blend of humor, wisdom, and compassionate honesty, challenges conventional notions of enlightenment. He confronts the illusions and pitfalls that often hinder genuine spiritual growth, urging readers to move beyond idealized concepts and to cultivate a deeper, more authentic connection to themselves and the world around them.
