The Riddle of the Ages

The Riddle of the Ages is a book written by Frank Allen Peake that explores the mysteries of life and existence through a spiritual lens. The author delves into the fundamental questions of human existence, such as the purpose of life, the nature of reality, and the meaning of death. Peake draws from a variety of sources, including ancient wisdom traditions, modern science, and his own personal experiences, to offer a unique perspective on these timeless questions.The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the riddle of the ages. The first section examines the nature of reality and the role of consciousness in shaping our experience of the world. Peake argues that reality is not simply objective and fixed, but is rather shaped by our own perceptions and beliefs.The second section of the book explores the concept of the soul and its relationship to the body. Peake argues that the soul is not a separate entity from the body, but rather an integral part of it. He explores the idea that the soul is a source of wisdom and guidance that can help us navigate the challenges of life.The third section of the book delves into the nature of death and the afterlife. Peake argues that death is not an end, but rather a transition to a new form of existence. He explores the concept of reincarnation and the idea that we continue to evolve and learn across multiple lifetimes.Overall, The Riddle of the Ages offers a thought-provoking exploration of some of life's most profound questions. It is a book that will appeal to anyone who is interested in spirituality, philosophy, or the mysteries of existence.Contents: Introduction; Moral Courage; Sympathy; Hospitality; Fraternity; Love; The Devilution of Man; Domestic Life; Social Life; Commercial Life; Religious Life; The Divinity of Man; The Question; The Answer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
