Review Quotes: "The elixir of immortal life is the secret of both Eastern and Western esoteric traditions. Miles Neale guides us through cross-cultural mysteries of life, death, and psycho-spiritual transformation on an alchemical journey that leads us through the subtle pathways of our embodied being toward the ultimate ambrosia that flows from the fully awakened human heart and, in so doing, unbinds the mind and body and renews the world. This book is itself an elixir. Read it and be transformed!"-- "Ian A. Baker, author of The Heart of the World and Tibetan Yogat"
