Dogma – A Spritual Dog’s Tale
Meet Mollie, a wise and observant miniature Schnauzer with a front-row seat to the mysteries of spiritual transformation. In Dogma… A Spiritual Dog’s Tale, written by Steve Lefkowitz & Steve Schenkman, Mollie recounts her 15-year journey living in a unique ashram nestled in Muttontown, NY. With keen eyes, sharp instincts, and an ever-present curiosity, Mollie provides an insightful, often humorous, and deeply moving perspective on the world of spiritual practice as taught by Robert Charles Sohn.
The ashram is not a distant monastery hidden away from the world, but rather a living laboratory where seekers engage in Fourth Way teachings—a path that integrates spiritual practice with everyday life. Unlike traditional disciplines that require monastic seclusion, the Fourth Way challenges its practitioners to build spiritual energy and resilience through the trials, joys, and struggles of ordinary existence. The teachings encourage mindfulness, self-awareness, and conscious transformation amidst the daily hustle, offering a way to navigate life and reach transcendent consciousness. Many of the principles espoused by Robert C. Sohn are outlined, presenting a higher perspective on life and death so often ignored throughout life.
From her vantage point at the feet of masters and students alike, Mollie observes the rhythms of ashram life—the moments of deep meditation, the bursts of laughter, the trials of ego, and the triumphs of spirit. Through her soulful and witty narration, she shares the essence of a community bound not just by practice, but by the shared goal of awakening. Whether you are a devoted seeker or simply curious about the intersection of spirituality and daily life, Dogma, A Spiritual Dog’s Tale offers an enchanting and insightful glimpse into a world where wisdom is found not only in sacred texts and teachings but also in the eyes of a faithful and knowing companion.
