Book Description
Richard "Freeman" Allan, JBL/Sacred Source founder, has written an energetic, inspirational multicultural adventure story. Freeman's highly personal memoir celebrates the reader's and his own inner and outward life journeys. Boyhood as son of an Iwo Jima hero, challenges presented by Vietnam, feminism and the civil rights awakenings, unique initiations, primitive trekking on foot and by canoe, dangers in far places, spiritual epiphanies and mentoring by more than a dozen Great Souls are among the elements of this compelling narrative. An ancient Mazatecan shaman, a breatharian who has not eaten in sixty-one years, an illiterate sharecropper who transmits Green Man wisdom, gurus both authentic and fallen, the Kommandant of Dachau and other warriors, a stigmatic who bears the wounds of Christ, primitive Incan fishermen, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, these are among the Guides who shaped the author's life, and led him to the Goddess Kali. Spiritual, sexual, family, racial, economic and environmental themes propel the reader toward Balance and Partnership with the feminine force half-forgotten by our modern world. In the face of climate collapse in the next generation, we are led to decisions for change that can heal the Earth and all her threatened species . . . including our own.--publisher website.
