About the Author
Thomas Hora, whose counseling practice in New York City spanned close to fifty years, was a brilliant psychiatrist, a God-centered spiritual seeker, and a pioneer researcher of consciousness. His work makes a lasting contribution to the fields of psychiatry, religion and metaphysics. Dr. Hora's compassion for human suffering inspired him to seek beyond conventional medical practices for the healing of illnesses, mental disorders, problems and difficulties. Observing as a psychiatrist that traditional forms of treatment did not always make a patient well, he began to explore spiritually enlightened teachings to uncover what knowledge lay within them which could bring individuals to healing and salvation - in the here and now. He discovered a system of thought and a methodology which was born out of his deep understanding of human nature and out of a devoted search for the truth. Gradually, he transcended the practice of traditional psychiatry as he came to see that the solutions to all problems - physical, emotional, mental, experiential - are found in the realm of the spiritual, in other words, solely in the context of God, which is perfect Love, perfect Intelligence, and perfect Life.
