The Soul's Critical Path: Waking Down to the Soul's Purpose, the Body's Power, and the Heart's Passion John P. Davidson 1st edition

A GROUNDBREAKING FUSION OF MEDITATIVE AND SHAMANIC TRADITIONS THAT ACCELERATES SOUL EVOLUTION. "John Davidson takes us into a powerful and deep exploration of the soul's path. The Soul's Critical Path offers a new and fresh perspective to help us on our spiritual journey. I found the book to be very insightful as well as brilliantly written."?? Sandra Ingerman, MA, author of Soul Retrieval and Medicine for the Earth Today, there is an unprecedented but confusing smorgasbord of spiritual traditions from which an awakening soul must pick and choose. Yet, even sophisticated spiritual techniques teach only two things: how to control attention and where to put it. Asia has taught us how to control attention. Shamanism urges us to bring that focused attention to the heart, body, earth, and other-dimensional intelligences. This is the terrain of the soul?s journey. In The Soul?s Critical Path, John Davidson describes an emerging fusion of meditation and shamanism that offers a grounded and visible soul pathway. Davidson, a retired attorney, openly shares his personal stories of challenges and insights from a mosaic of peak experiences with meditation, vision questing, personal relationships, Peruvian shamanism, and entheogenic plants. Connecting the dots of this diverse array, he describes five distinct stages through which all souls are challenged to evolve. Davidson explains how the discovery of an experiential soul perspective ? the knowing that I am the soul ? allows the awakening soul to remember who it is, ground itself in the portal of the heart, and bring a sense of love and safety to the body. With that experience, the body can release the fear that prevents it from receiving the soul as its mate. With body as its mate, the soul can transcend fate and discover the unique destiny that flows from the soul?s purpose, the body?s power, and the heart?s passion.
