When we sow our seeds in the garden of life, do we settle for a meager display of two or three flowers? Or do we aim for a pageantry of rich colors and breathtaking beauty?

So asks author David Bruce in these excuisite essays inspiring us to live an active spiritual life. Fresh and concise, he ranges in theme from lving with purpose, spiritual practice, and advice on books and reading. Free of dogma, he helps the open-minded inquirer find ultimate meaning.

For spiritual succor, Bruce turns to The Voice of the Silence and The Secret Doctrine, two masterpieces by nineteenth-century visionary Theosophist, H.P. Blavatsky. Readers will enjoy Bruce's clarity on her wisdom about eternal, living truths. Our existence does have a purpose, he affirms, if we apply the principles we study to daily life. That way we benefit all of humanity as well as ourselves, for, as Theosophists believe, we are all one.

''Anyone who thinks Theosophy is not practical will find this book a revelation. It presents clear guidelines for spiritual living in the twenty-first century. ''
