Book Description
At age 39, while a professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Florida, Dr. Busby had a life-changing awakening experience. During this experience, which lasted for three months, he becomes aware of the astonishing synchronicity of his life. He describes this experience in his autobiography The Journey of a Mystic Child: One afternoon as I left the house to take a walk, I was suddenly aware of another dimension of reality. Although words will never adequately describe this dimension, I knew with a certainty and clarity that I had never experienced before that everything in our universe was connected and part of the same living energy; everything was alive-rocks, trees, water, metal, flowers-everything! I felt the presence of a divine and heavenly mood. This Divine presence was continuous with me for the duration of this magical experience, which lasted three months. I had a feeling of oneness and love with everyone I met. I knew that there were no random events; that every happening and interaction was part of a grand Divine plan. I saw the episodes, and pattern of my life as guided by divine sources and my life was like an enchanted fairy tale After three months, he realized he could not continue in this blissful space and function as a University Professor so he consciously came back to a lower level of consciousness. He has spent the last 40 years as a spiritual seeker. In his search he has acquired a library of over a thousand books, attending hundred of seminars and conferences, studying with dozens of spiritual teachers as well as living in various spiritual communities. He created a new course at the University of Florida in which he endeavored to share the knowledge and wisdom of his experiences. The course that he called Human Relationships became one of the most popular courses on campus. A student group voted Dr. Busby as the University Most Popular Professor.

Pony Ride to an Awakening
Author: Hedin E. Daubenspeck
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982243376
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 103
Book Description
This book tells of the pony ride to an awakening and other stories of the Spirit. Encounters of an otherworldly kind happen to many people. My efforts are to describe some of the spiritual experiences that we may encounter from early childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, and then maturity, retirement unto renunciation, and then consciousness beyond death. We are closest to the Spirit at the beginning of our life, just entering incarnation from the Spirit, and at the end of our life, as we prepare to return to the Spirit. Sharing some of my psychic experiences and a few stories of my friends and family may serve as a guide for you in finding some similarities in these with your own experiences to reinforce the trust in these experiences as real and not imagined. We come from the Spirit and will return to the Spirit. There is nothing to fear from our teachers and ancestors in communicating with the Spirit to give us guidance, wisdom, and vision in this oftentimes difficult earthly life experience or to answer our questions. As we unfold our development going forward with open eyes and mind, we find that the truth unfolds and becomes more refined, like a lotus flower.

Working with Oneness
Author: Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
Publisher: The Golden Sufi Center
ISBN: 1890350052
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Humanity has been given access to the secrets of oneness, but we need to learn how to work with them. Working with Oneness brings mysticism into the center of the marketplace, into the world of business and technology, and shows how we can work with it in everyday life. The dynamic energy of oneness has the potential to heal the planet and revolutionize life more than we can imagine, but it requires our individual participation and awareness to become fully alive. The energy of oneness is already present but waiting to be lived, and Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee provides a blueprint for working consciously with this energy. As we understand how our consciousness affects the whole fabric of life, the potential for real global change comes alive. Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee stresses the need to change from hierarchical, patriarchal power structures to organic patterns that allow for the free flow of energy and ideas. Through these patterns the dynamic energy of oneness can become part of everyday life. Working with Oneness includes a number of additional important topics, including: the changing energy structure of the planet and how to work with it; the power of individual consciousness; the danger of the desire for spiritual security; the return of joy to everyday life; the awakening of the heart of the world; a new understanding of magic; the use of the imagination; and mystical participation in life with the energy of oneness. Working with Oneness offers guidance on how to work with the energy of oneness, to learn how to participate in life free of the patterns of the past, so that the divine can come alive in every moment of every day. Working with Oneness is mystical activism at its most potent. “There is a growing and eager audience waiting for a vision of unity consciousness... Working with Oneness offers a salutary antidote to worn-out antagonisms. It challenges readers to join other kindred souls in a mystical activism that can bring new hope to humanity.” —Spirituality & Health “A book filled with wonder and the kind of insights that can leap out to your heart and gladden you for having read them. It's words are simple and straightforward—always a blessing—but its message it the most vital and important for the time in which we live. I recommend it.” —David Spangler, author, Blessings: the Art and the Practice

As the inward-winding labyrinth, it constitutes the hero's journey to the still center where the secret of life is found.
