The Soul, The Quality of Life is a compilation of the writings of Alice Bailey from the Ageless Wisdom tradition. This particular book focuses on the Soul, specifically the qualities of the Soul and the attributes demonstrated by those who have achieved Soul alignment as described in the Ageless Wisdom teachings.This book will be useful for those who are students of the Ageless Wisdom as well as for those who would like to get a sense of the teachings without having to read the voluminous works from that tradition. It will also be of great use for those who are presently doing the Soul alignment work within the Ageless Wisdom path.My husband likes all Alice Bailey books. They come highly recommended by his spiritual friends.Very hard to follow. Even re-reading and going very slow still had a hard time moving through it. That's just my take.Must read for those who seek union with the SelfThis is a unique book that contains extracts of teachings from the Tibetan Master 18 volumes about the Soul. It is a good complement to students of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Those who are unfamiliar with esoteric terms would also benefit by buying The New Dictionary of Spiritual Thought by Carol Parrish - Hara.
