Dogma: A Spiritual Dog’s Tale Back Cover

Dogma, A Spiritual Dog’s Tale is a unique literary work that serves as a vehicle for those interested in spiritual ideas and efforts which lead to higher consciousness.

The term “dogma” is defined as “a principle or a set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.” Dogma, A Spiritual Dog’s Tale, has been chosen as the title of this book as a way to combine an eclectic, spiritual doctrine of faith, hope, and love, also referred to as the “Great Work” with the whimsical inclusion of a gifted dog as its storyteller.

The book recounts the experience of life while living in a spiritual community led by Dr. Robert Charles Sohn, its Guru and spiritual leader. It provides some of the essential ideas of his teaching, and a glimpse into the unique and extraordinary setting where it all took place.

It’s best to say that the ideas contained in this book are nestled within a Fourth Way ideology. There are many ways of practice which lead to spiritual enlightenment: included are the ways of the yogi, monk, fakir, and the Fourth Way. The Fourth Way is not practiced in austere seclusion as are the first three, but is accomplished on the battlefields of life. A student of the Fourth Way sees life as a gymnasium, a place to Work on and develop one’s spiritual muscles.

So many people look at ideas related to spiritual development as inadmissible to their lives and/or impossible to accomplish. For those interested on how best to re-shuffle the cards of life for a higher purpose there’s Dogma, A Spiritual Dog’s Tale.

Friends for over 60 years, the Authors met at age 9 in 1959 at Brooklyn’s public school 203. They’ve remained close friends over the years, both living amazingly parallel lives. It was Steve Schenkman who met Dr. Robert Sohn early on and then introduced him to Steve Lefkowitz. Both went on to spend decades as disciples of Dr. Sohn, attempting to live the “Great Work” in Fourth Way fashion.

Under the organizations multifaceted structure, Mr. Schenkman served its educational arm, and Mr. Lefkowitz helped develop its business interests.

Even in the above scenario, they still gravitated towards commonality, both trained in the Wholistic arts as massage therapists, practicing the art of Amma Therapy® at the Wholistic Health Center in Manhasset, New York beginning in 1977. Both are karmic friends with a higher purpose.
