The Twelfth Age is Volume III of The Third Verse Trilogy...HOWEVER, each volume in the trilogy is written to be read as a stand-alone novel, as well as part of a series. The trilogy is a powerful allegory for one possible auspicious future.The Twelfth Age carries us to Earth's parallel, Zamora. Join Tashami-roku in her search for Stair, a prophet of old. Although she sets out alone and uncertain, her quest gathers followers into ultimate awakening to transformation of human consciousness. Among these followers are key characters from Volume I, The Tenth Muse, and Volume II, The El-eventh Hour. None are prepared for what opens up to all beings linked in parallel dimensions.
Readers who search for fiction works that offer higher perspectives on the true nature of reality have awaited this brilliant culmination, especially as it is rich with wisdom teachings, including two Appendixes embodying works of spiritual masters that offer many other directions of exploration.
"Through the ancient art of storytelling Lily Stephen opens the mind of her reader and delivers profound sacred teachings, touching the deepest core of our being. The impact is a catalyst to spiritual awakening. She is truly a gifted author and teacher." - Aubrey Degnan, Ph.D., Author Luminous, the Soul's Journey to Enlightenment; Living Divine Relationships; The Divinity of Your Soul.
"Our teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha, taught that awakened beings may appear even as works of art that challenge and inspire the mind. These are considered actual nirmanakayas, emanations of the enlightened ones. There is no limit to the forms of expression of the wisdom teachings of those whose sole concern is to benefit others, usinig whatever means appeal to their minds and hearts. Lily Stephen writes prose fiction with the pure motivation to help her readers find the heart of wisdom within. May it have such benefit." - Tulku Sherdor, Executive Director, Blazing Wisdom Institute, New York.
FYI, this title is offered at the undiscounted retail price for two reasons: as a member of Green Press Initiative, Blooming Rose Press utilizes recycled paper in printing this title at extra expense; and a portion of all Third Verse Trilogy sales goes to the International Campaign for Tibet. Both of these matters are in line with our publishing philosophy.
