Thomas Sandoski is an ordinary Polish farmer in a loving relationship with a beautiful woman, Sarah, on the outskirts of Warsaw. Although they have no children Sarah's sister, Selene, has many and the two families have much contact. We follow their lives through the late 1930's and the terrible events surrounding the German invasion of 1939. Because Sarah's family are Jews, she and Thomas are separated, and each have their own stories to tell.
The narrative unfolds as Thomas lies dying in a sewer below the Warsaw streets having been shot during the Ghetto Uprising. In his weakened condition and with a fragile mental state Thomas uses meditation to control his pain and consider his past. His friendship before the war with a member of the Warsaw Theosophical Society has given him the tools to project his consciousness across the astral plane and experience events from the past as if he was an invisible viewer. At times he wonders if he is dead and just a ghost traversing time.
The Meditations of Thomas Sandoski is a story full of adventure, happiness and pain; just like life itself. Although set during the war this is not a war story, although it features meditation and esoteric themes it is not a meditation manual; it is a story about love and how it can enable people to cope with whatever life throws at us, Love will always find a way.
