Produktbeschreibung

"SHADOW RIDERS" is the third book in this seven-book series under the title "MYSTICISM IN NEWBURYPORT." It is the continuing unfolding story of just another soul's re-awakening in this lifetime to the truth of his divinity. After Peter's younger wild years growing up in Lynn, Massachusetts with heavy alcohol use and abusing all the drugs of the sixties, along with his love of riding motorcycles and physical training, he found himself crawling into the 12-step recovery program for alcoholics. Peter abused alcohol for seven years and he drank alcoholically right from his first drink. He used all the drugs of the sixties and combined both alcohol and drugs, which brought him to his knees at a very young age. He was to be involved in endless trouble with police, car and motorcycle crashes, high speed chases, arrests, and many broken bones. Peter's journey in the recovery program began with a spiritual awakening and he began his education about the spiritual principles and the ancient wisdom from the past. While Peter was living in the Newburyport area and reading ancient writings from meditation masters, Peter was to have a profound spiritual experience and his journey back to his true self really began. Through the grace of a mediation master, Peter's own inner spiritual energy (called kundalini) burst wide open and this energy flowed up his spine and chakras and caused incredible insights and experiences. It was later that Peter learned about 'Kundalini Yoga' and what had happened to him. Peter was to have profound experiences in long nights of meditation down by the Merrimac River and to have numerous past life experiences. To honor his spiritual awakening while in this historic seaport, he decided to use the name "MYSTICISM IN NEWBURYPORT" for the title. Peter's first book was introduced at the Miami International Book Fair as a modern-day version of the Herman Hesse classic novel "SIDDHARTHA." These tales are about all the great people from this time in Peter's life and all the gifts and blessings that have flowed and continue to flow to this silly, Irish seeker. Peter hopes that his writings will be of some use to others or at least bring a smile to the reader's face, about the unique life of just another seeker. This book is dedicated to Barbara Eleanor Parton. She is in the below pictures on our bikes...

Autorenporträt

These writings and books of Peter's are just about another soul's awakening to their divinity in this lifetime, and the continuing opening of intuitive insights and wisdom along his journey. Peter's journey really began when he entered the 12-step program in March of 1970, in Lynn, Massachusetts. On entering the recovery program Peter was to have a spiritual awakening. In the Yogic tradition it says that there are seventeen levels of spiritual awakenings. Peter says that his awakening may have been on a lower level, but none-the-less, an awakening. Twenty-five years later he entered an ancient Yogic path where he had a profound spiritual awakening at a much higher level. There is a difference between a spiritual awakening and a spiritual experience, and many seekers will have both. The founder of the 12-step program had experienced both. Peter was also to have both an awakening of spirit and many spiritual experiences. After Peter began practicing these ancient teachings from a lineage of masters, he was to have many spiritual experiences. One that still blows Peter's mind was of his swimming right through the winter in New England and never being cold. Peter would just strip down and walk into the ocean, usually at night. Seeing someone walk into the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of winter, usually freaks people out. But Peter was never cold that winter and he never felt the cold of winter even while swimming in the New England Ocean. Peter never wore a winter coat that winter. One wise woman had said that Peter was vibrating at the same level as the ocean water. So much is about vibration in this life and the world. Peter's first spiritual experience was when he was five years sober and he was going through the most painful year of his life, often bordering on despair. Peter was taking daily walks in the Lynn Woods and one day he saw and experienced in his mind and heart that God was the intelligence behind Nature. This knowledge changed everything for Peter. Later on, down the road many of Peter's spiritual experiences were along the Merrimac River in Newburyport, Massachusetts. To show his appreciation for this unique, little, historic seaport he has chosen to use the name: "MYSTICISM IN NEWBURYPORT" for the title of this seven-book series. These books are not really about any particular location but more of a unique school of thought that has been awakened in Peter from his years of doing spiritual practices and his personal life struggles. Peter's third book (which you hold in your hands) is "SHADOW RIDERS." Book four will be called, "THE RECLUSIVE MYSTIC." The seventh and final book in this series is called, "MIAMI TAILS," and is dedicated to all the sweet women of South Beach, Miami. Peter has filled these three books with as much information about the journey and wisdom from countless sources as he could. Peter hopes that some parts of these writings are useful pieces of wisdom for you on your path. Always remember the power of our minds. Your mind can create anything. Our minds can heal our bodies. The mind that created this body, can heal this body. Use the power of your mind to focus on your dreams and you will have them. I wish you and yours the best "Live to Ride, Ride to Live"
