What sequence of experiences come together to form a mystic s path? How would you deal with the visions that come and carry you to alternate dimensions without notice and at the most inopportune times? In The House of Shattering Light: Life as an American Indian Mystic, Joseph Rael reveals how such questions shaped his life and his visions for the future. \"This House of Shattering Light this perceptual reality in which we live and of which we are a part exists only for the soul s purpose of continuing its own livelihood.\" Joseph Rael Very early in his new book, Rael s message is clear trust in the path. In The House of Shattering Light, Rael lays bare the main theme of his life, one with which many of us can identify: \"Without realizing it, we are led in a particular direction. We are not always completely aware of the reason, but it takes us wherever we need to go, even when we don t know that s what s happening. All we know is that in some way everything s perfect.\" Rael s life has been pulled into virtually every conceivable magical, mystical and disastrous experience. Born a \"split\" half Southern Ute and half Picuris Publan he enjoyed the sweet embrace of Native American shamanic practices while also confronting the unimaginable bitterness of inter-tribal racism, which forced early feelings of isolation. Fascinated early on by sounds and vibrations, one of Joseph s first experiments, at age six, was to lie with his sisters Corleen and Gloria, with their ears pressed to the train tracks. Mesmerized by their ability to capture the sounds of the oncoming train Joseph s sisters, ages seven and eight, perished on the tracks, and only Joseph survived. From this tragedy he went on to deal with the death of his mother and being placed with a foster family, where he found a mentor, Grandfather, who schooled him in the mysteries of tribal ceremonies.","brand":"Council Oak Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53918766563670,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781571781277_1.jpg?v=1781885651","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/joseph-rael-house-of-shattering-light-the-life-and-teachings-of-a-native-american-mystic-life-as-an-american-indian-mystic-9781571781277","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
