At 60 years of age, I have had decades of study with teachers in the traditions of Sufism and Vedanta (including three periods of monastic ashram life), as well as some years of solitary studies in Kagyu and Nyingma schools of Tibetan Buddhism, meditation training with Shambhala International, and the Five Mindfulness Trainings in Thich Nhat Hanh's Zen Peacemaker Order. I'm also ordained as an Essene minister. After all these years my focus has shifted to embrace of Western esotericism, with deep interest in Alchemy (both practical lab work and inner spiritual alchemy), Classical Hermeticism, Neoplatonism, Pythagoreanism, and Theurgy. I also maintain a deep interest in the healing and spiritual potentials of entheogenic sacred medicines. In the several years since deciding to embrace the Western tradition, I'm finally finding the place that's right for me, and it's nice to be excited about the spiritual path once again.

The extremely cool thing about Duncan Greenlees' book "The Gospel of Hermes" is that it rearranges content in the Corpus Hermeticum thematically, according to different topics. This makes it especially valuable for Hermeticists who may wish to study one aspect of the Hermetic teachings, because it brings together everything about that topic within the Corpus Hermeticum in one place, making your studies more fruitful.
