Written as a concise handbook, this Practical Guide presents a novel
paradigm for addressing the enduring questions of our existence, while
providing a roadmap to the rational pursuit of spirituality in
contemporary life.
Approaching our spiritual development as one would any experimental
science, Bahram Elahi, MD, describes the nature of the human soul, or
self, through a series of original diagrams and functional analogies to
medicine, psychology, and physics. In so doing, he introduces a new
medicine of the soul that not only establishes how to nourish and
develop the soul through the practice of correct divine and ethical
principles, but also how to diagnose and treat its various ailments.
Explaining the purpose of our presence on earth as the completion of the
first stage in our spiritual development, he summarizes this fundamental
work in three main points: examining and mending one's faith,
sufficiently developing one's sound reason, and cultivating one's
humanity. Ultimately, this timely Practical Guide offers readers of
all backgrounds an accessible roadmap to our spiritual journey that is
adapted to life in modern society.
