A book to help people understand what they are doing with their lives. Addressing its readers directly and as individuals, this book allows them to move through it in their own way. It takes them on a wide-ranging expedition into their lives, so that they may be better guided by their own uniqueness. It seeks to enkindle within people the desire to reclaim their bodies, recover their souls, and re-enter the world. "A book that should make a name for Gene Ruyle as a contemporary philosopher who has something important to say." -Atlanta Journal/Constitution (www.generuyle.com)… (altro)
Gene Ruyle, philosopher, psychologist, Episcopal priest, playwright and composer, has written The stuff of a lifetime, a revised version of an earlier book, Making a life. In it, he talks about soul and spirit and how we have lost our way; in his words, “your soul is what your being is becoming.” He gives us the tools to understand human experience and how we can make our life meaningful. He then gives us examples of persons who have found their souls and have lived life in several different modes: James Cagney, Nikos Kazantzakis, Pul Tillich, Oriana Fallaci, Thomas Jefferson, and Stanley Keleman.
There is an excellent glossary and an annotated bibliography including classic and new works. Footnotes give extra help in understanding the text as well as citations to works that can be consulted. There are exercises and reflections that add to the experience and should not be skipped.
This is not a book for the faint hearted and it cannot be read all in one sitting, then put away. It is a life’s work and must be read, re-read and savored. In the end, it is up to each person to “see… the soul, sens(e)… the spirit, and mov(e)… on to more.” ( )

The ills from which we are suffering have had their seat in the very foundations of human thought. But today something is happening in the whole structure of human consciousness. A fresh kind of life is starting... The task before us now, if we would not perish, is to build the earth. --Teilhard de Chardin
