We need a hard-nosed and earthy approach to modern-age spirituality.' With these challenging words, Rod Suskin - astrologer, sangoma and sought-after spiritual teacher - sets out to reconcile strands of wisdom from ancient traditions with the startling insights of contemporary science. Here, in one powerful volume, Suskin shares his remarkable personal journey and tackles the thorny questions we all ask ourselves: What is the soul? What is my purpose in life? What is the truth about reincarnation? How do I understand fate, free will and karma? Do the ancient masters have anything to teach us today? These thought-provoking lectures reject quick fixes from the spiritual supermarket. Instead they integrate effortlessly the ancient and undervalued wisdom of Africa with the spiritual and scientific inheritance of the rest of the planet. Rod Suskin is an initiated sangoma and a popular astrologer, lecturer and author in Cape Town.
