RISE TO THE SUN7 Footsteps and 7 Prayers for Getting Out of Hell
We can all break free from hell. We must put freedom above everything else as our goal. We must restore that in our lives. Rise to the Sun says: “As we leave hell behind, we unlock and unchain all that prevents us from being worthy of love.”
This book on spiritual healing is a cultural voyage to freedom set in the context of our times. In my 50-year global odyssey through China, Canada, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington DC, New York and India, I have encountered people whose lives show us that we can all successfully break free from hopelessness, trauma and grief, to being worthy of love; and as we find it within, we begin sharing the inner journey of freedom with others.
We travel our freedom differently in West and East, North and South, but ultimately, how we travel inwardly is the same as how we travel outwardly.
People are seeking healing and inspiration. At the same time, so many of us want to ‘do something’ about the world in which we live – to be of service. Many self-help and personal growth programs write about what you can do to heal and feel better about yourself. This is not that kind of book. The journey of the 7 footsteps is about seeing things differently before trying to ‘fix’ ourselves.
Most important in moving forward and growing, is to redefine your activism via a spiritual way of seeing. The process is not prescriptive. We have to see for ourselves. We are not meant to be programmed by outside forces.
The progression of the 7 footsteps and 7 prayers brings you to a new place. A Three-Step Recipe (to keep our eyes open!) guides us to the meaning of retraining ourselves.
Each and every one of us can find the courage to change by taking personal responsibility for our relationships, making friends and sharing our freedom. Words, images, prayers and music guide us forward.
- We must say goodbye to our mounting grief and end our suicide
- We begin to see what is within our immediate reach that leads to personal responsibility
- Every step of this book includes prayers, those beautiful phrases of human emotion and truth that help us see hope where there is little or none, to see beauty, to do for ourselves
