Divinity Rising - Hardcover

by John C. Robinson (Author), Laura Grace Welden (Foreword by)

Divinity Rising integrates the insights of a depth-oriented clinical psychologist ordained in interfaith spirituality with the revelations of a modern-day mystic for a deep and experiential understanding of mysticism. Some people approach the divine through Scripture, others through ideas, beliefs, and intuitions. The mystic seeks direct experience of the divine to explore its perceptual, emotional, and metaphysical nature. For the mystic, the entire universe is conscious and alive, saturated by an all-encompassing eternal and loving Presence, a vision embraced by Rumi, Kabir, Hafez, Gibran, and so many other poets who leave ecstatic, liberating, and radically hopeful footprints. Divinity Rising follows in this tradition. More than a book, it's a state of consciousness. More than a spiritual technique, it's an experience of transformation. More than a relationship with God, it's about becoming God.
