With our unprecedented longevity, aging has become a new developmental stage in the human life cycle. Conscious sacred aging now offers humanity profound opportunities for psychological, spiritual and mystical transformation, expanding not only our lifespan but our awareness of God as well. What if we discover in this awakening that we are already divine? What if this realization transforms our very nature and purpose in the world? The Divine Human answers these questions and more, revealing the ultimate meaning of the New Aging. John Robinson, psychologist, minister and author, has written about the psychological and spiritual transformation of adults for over 20 years, receiving praise from numerous visionary writers. In his new book, Dr. Robinson describes for the first time the ultimate possibility of awakening the Divine Human. Sharing his own experience of divinity, he echoes the words of mystics from around the world and explains the incredible importance of aging in achieving humanity’s highest expression of love and purpose. ~ Tim Miejan, The Edge
The third book is about the final transformation of ageing, by a psychologist and minister who has written extensively on the topic. For him, ageing is enlightenment in slow motion as we have the chance to dissolve the false self, find a new centre and realise that this is the Divine Human. At this stage, it is no longer a question of heroic doing, but rather the stillness of being. Robinson’s premises are that all consciousness is God’s consciousness, all being is God’s being, that conscious being is unity with God, that the divine self lives in the depths of conscious being and hence that Conscious Being is the Divine Human. The practices in the book teach readers how to stop thought and remove the conceptual wall of separation so that one can realise the depth of I Am as what God is. As with the other books, there is a theme of emptying and falling away, but this very emptying makes space for the divine to emerge consciously. We can learn to experience inner space as divine consciousness. I very much enjoyed the author’s transformation of the famous Einstein equation where E stands for the divine energy of love, m/mass for being and c for consciousness in the sense of being conscious of consciousness. Hence love = being-consciousness. For him, love is both a feeling, a force and a practice, as well as the medium of our transformation as we become a spiritually ripened Elder, full of sweetness, like the delicious plums I have been eating off the trees over the last few days. ~ David Lorimer, Network Review
