Joseph J. (JJ) Dewey, born Feb 1945, has been a student and writer of philosophy, metaphysics and the spiritual path most of his life. He has taught numerous classes and seminars since 1989 on a variety of avant-garde subjects while earning a living with real estate and marketing. 

Dewey is a prolific author and is best known for his trilogy of books known as the Immortal series. Dewey draws from many true-life experiences to create novels that present unique and mystical teachings in a way that captivates the imagination. What is true and what is fiction? That is for the reader to determine. The trilogy consists of The Immortal, Books I & II in one volume, The Lost Key of the Buddha and Eternal Words.  Mr. Dewey has taught one of the most active discussion groups on the internet for a remarkably long time now called The Keys of Knowledge. His writings have been collected and archived at www.freeread.com. There the seeker can find over 5000 free articles written by him as well as a number of books. He may hold the record for the most original free articles on the web offered by a single person. These are not the ramblings of a blogger talking about trivial matters but new insights on life changing philosophy.
