Bryant writes with force and beauty. His deep insights into the elements of rhythm, the "time body, " and the cycles in human life, combined with examples from biographies as diverse as Nehru, Marilyn Monroe, and Leo Tolstoy, make for a book that cannot be put down until finished. An invaluable work for counselors, educators, and those who wonder about their destiny."--Robert Sardello, PhD, author of Facing the World with Soul Our biography is our most precious, intimate possession, yet how much do we really know about ourselves? With a little work, we can discover in the unfolding of our biography the traces of a marvelous, cosmic patterning--the cycles of our life. The seven-year cycle converts experience into psychological faculties, The twelve-year cycle marks the way changing self-awareness of the personality is translated into our life's work, The thirty-year cycle marks a major turning point in life. The Veiled Pulse of Time explores these cycles and discusses questions of freedom and destiny, transformation, reincarnation, and karma.
