Synopsis
The main character in The Wizard Within is Jay Wiles, a successful advertising executive living the American Dream. By day Jay works as a hot-shot executive for the Mindbenders Advertising Agency, yet by night his very core is challenged by a comical yet wise Wizard who takes him on the rollercoaster ride of his life. Headed up by a charismatic leader, Thadeus Rebelstar, Mindbenders advertising agency is the place to work for any dynamic adman. As a subplot, Jay s ad work entertains the reader with various drive slogans, ads, and ad campaigns throughout the novel and provides a light-hearted break from some of the darker and heavier chapters. In a series of comic, ironic, and emotionally charged dramatic scenes, The Wizard Within explores a vast range of human experience such as human relationships, morality, sexuality, Western religion, science, psychiatry, our relationship to the Natural World, and the future of the human species. What furthers the attraction and makes such a profound exploration of life and living possible is the complexity and realness of the characters.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. Dale Schulz Www.daschstudio.com (illustrator). INSCRIPTION FROM ALBERT THOR on title page; As New; This is your task, just as it is the task of everyone: to balance the inside world with the outside world, the world of spirit and wonderment and the material world of practicalities, for each is dependent on the other and are two sides of the same coin. Neither can you emphasize the one over the other over the one - it is only in balancing both that the ultimate power of the universe is attained, only in balancing both is it realized that wisdom is of the unseen world and is this wispy sense of oneness and wonderment. Emphasize the material world and your spirit dies, emphasize your spirit and your body dies: the body and spirit are one, dependent on one another and neither is more important than the other for all is one in an infinite now. And it is the Serpent that divides the two worlds. and there is only one way to deal with a Serpent. Inscribed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 007261
