This work is an insightful and often startling look at the development of Western thought. Linda Johnsen has uncovered significant parallels between the teachings and the spiritual practices of early Greek Philosophers and enlightened sages of the East. She skilfully ties in concepts of the great religions of the world to the ideology of each great sage. History often swept aside the deep-seated connections between the East and the West, but Johnsen reveals how ideas about Karma, the afterlife, reincarnation and God were taught in the Ancient Western world and how yogic traditions influenced early Greek culture. Linda Johnsen is a leading author in the field of Eastern spirituality. She holds a masters degree in Eastern Studies and Comparative Psychology. She is known for prior titles including "Daughters of the Goddess", "The Women Saints of India" and "A Thousand Suns".
