Tales of Immortality

Tales of Immortality might be thought of as a body-mind-spirit trilogy, although they are related only in the thematic sense of a seeker, in three different spiritual traditions, stumbling his (or her) way through life until a truly spiritual reality begins to unfold. But in a larger and more inclusive sense, all three traditions represented in these tales are meant to be transparent to a transcendent reality. All three traditions are simply forms, bound and limited by time, through which spirit can be activated via its earthly components. In this sense, spirit is meant to be understood as a reflection of universal consciousness. The word "God" all too often refers only to a tribal diety with a local inflection, in all its varied colors and complexions. Although each tale reflects a particular form and teaching, the rites and rituals, of that single pathway, it is always and only spirit that is revealing itself, never the incarnation of personality or requirements of that specific body of thought.
