REVIEW BY ISABELLA CATES
Seeking Enlightenment in the Age of Awakening: Your Complete Program for Spiritual Awakening and More, In Just Twenty Minutes a Day ENLIGHTENMENT TEACHING for the Age of Awakening, BOOK 1 By Rose Rosetree, founder of Energy Spirituality 2022; Women’s Intuition Worldwide 370 pp (PB) ISBN-13: 978-1935214519 Calling this path to Enlighten - ment “some hills and valleys”? That doesn’t do you justice. Yes, you, the climber with a lion’s heart, an angel’s crown, and sometimes awkward feet.
Lauded by critics as “brave,” “authoritative,” and “highly readable,” Entering the Mainstream features stories and guided meditations that are as stimulating to the seasoned practitioner as they are accessible to the novice. It is equally valuable for mindfulness teachers, offering guidance and a range of tools to help lead individuals and groups in urban settings. This new book and Patricia’s first book, Eight Steps to an Authentic Life: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times , are available on amazon.com.
So starts the most powerful, personally transformative, and inno- vative book I’ve ever read on Spiritual Enlightenment, with a laser beam of heart, encoded in poetry that is woven throughout (and a few excerpts of which are included here). This poetic dedication is addressed to “Smart Spiritual Seekers,” and it reveals some of Rosetree’s who-you-be through her art: an extremely talented, witty, real lover-of-God who, most importantly, actually knows how to teach. (And, as it turns out, actually has some - thing — many somethings — to teach.) After decades of teaching private students and helping dozens of them to reach Enlightenment, Rosetree finally publishes the first practical guide to seeking Enlight - enment now. Rosetree’s background includes teaching Transcendental Medi - tation (TM) for decades. After leaving TM in the early nineties, she founded Energy Spirituality, eventually becoming an Enlightenment Teacher. Rosetree demonstrates, through this book, that she knows not only how to help someone reach Enlightenment (she and many of her students have been living in Enlightenment for years), but that she knows how to transmit highly truthful knowledge to others — knowl- edge that transforms consciousness in the most beautiful direction. So, Genuine spiritual seekers, take note. This book can get you where you want to go, given you do your part. Personally, no book on Spiritual Enlightenment has whisked me further, faster, or more joyfully down my own path. Written in three parts (each of which could be its own standalone book), the spine of this paperback is the interconnected, interwoven, practical and practically glowing information set forth in Parts One and Two, then culminates in Part Three as a Personal Program for Spiritual Enlightenment. Part One of Seeking Enlightenment in the Age of Awakening helps the Smart Spiritual Seeker to understand the landscape of his or her path — whatever that path may be — and where that path
