Thirty-Eight Writers Explore Their 'Awakening' into a New Life

Ashland, OR (PRWEB) November 11, 2006 -- The Second Birth: Stories of Awakening Within the Heart of Community by Bob Valine is an inspirational collection of first-person accounts of self-knowledge, empowerment and finding one's life purpose.

A new awakening is happening in the West. This is a process that helps people from all walks of life have spiritual transformations that "awaken" or "rebirth" them to the richness of life and to their own inner power. All of the writers in this powerful and profound collection are members of a very special community called Waking Down in Mutuality, which is dedicated to personal growth and spiritual evolution. All have had a profound personal transformation akin to a second birth, which they eloquently write about and share in these pages.

Beautifully written and deeply felt, The Second Birth: Stories of Awakening Within the Heart of Community is an important roadmap for a richer, fuller life, and for a way to live in harmony with others and with the environment. Provocative and profound, it could just change the world.

About the Author
Bob Valine has been a student of eastern and western teachers of enlightenment for over twenty years. While a member of several spiritual communities, he has lived and traveled in the United States and India. During this time he became awakened to oneness or "the heart of consciousness," the unchanging, limitless source of all. After meeting Saniel Bonder and the Waking Down community in 1999, he experienced a further deepening and embodiment called the Second Birth, leading to an ongoing exploration and healing of the Divine Feminine, the sacredness of body and earth. He hopes that the stories of the men and women in this book will inspire others in transforming their lives and life on this planet.
