The author spent nearly 40, intimate years with an enlightened teacher whose distinctive characteristic was Service. As a man of the 21st century he spoke a language of extraordinary simplicity which reached into the hearts of those who knew him. Without any need to be known outside of his selected group he showed how the nature of Truth can be known to any who sought it with particular emphasis on the limitations we impose upon ourselves and the ease with which they can be removed. This meant coming to know the real personality that is in each of us. Lifethrum is a collection of the wisdom of this much loved man and the understanding gleaned by the author himself.
