“In its endless journey of countless experiences, each soul develops its own unique essence, purpose, and direction but always remaining within the Absolute and under the influence of its greater will. After a long process of evolution, the unconscious energy of the soul transforms into conscious energy and now the self-aware soul or being dissolves back into its original source — the Absolute. How all this happens is part of the miraculous and will always remain within the unknowable mystery of the Absolute.”

Who are our parents, but people just like us? In so many ways their life path is our life path. They are in our lives as role models and to show us the way. If we stop to think about it, we start to see how many of the same soul issues and life lessons they share with us. However, our problem rests with the very subtle terms of our expectation that they are Gods or at least God-like. We fail to see then as human and journeying a path, just as we are. Our expectation for them is to be stronger and better than us, when in fact they may be at best just a few steps ahead. Our parents are just another example of how to do it and are mirrors for our soul and karma, no different than we.

“Soul Currency examines the power of manifestation through spiritual “adventureprise.” Spirit working through enlightened entrepreneurs can guide the creation of an actual business or a service, either for-profit or not-for-profit. Readers will learn how to add their own unique value to this enterprise, or choose to be fulfilled in playing a supportive role as a member of a team. Other sections discuss the power of connection and spiritual intelligence through the concept of stakeholders and self-organizing and self-connecting principles of quantum science.”

Let us think for a moment of a thought. Imagine. Although the physical manifestation of the neural processes is devastatingly slow in the cosmic sense, think of how quickly we can place ourselves in distant locals in our imagination. We attain a non-visible, non-tangible in our light world existence and this existence can place us seemingly instantaneously close-by Jupiter, for example, when anything else takes human minutes (sunlight) to human years (space probes) to arrive. In addition, our imaginary precision is pin-point perfect, light-weight, and floating without laborious hours of calculating trajectories, gravitational pulls and fuel consumption. We think it, we imagine it, and we are there. But why stop at Jupiter?

Don’t think for one second that this is a book only for men — women can benefit from this as well — at the very least, they can help the men in their life to become comfortable and open about their spirituality, and that is no small thing. But at a deeper level, women can re-awaken their own masculine energy and learn to honor it. As the author points out, women tend to equate male energy with violence, greed and domination and become unbalanced themselves as a result of ignoring or stifling what they consider to be “masculine” impulses. This is as skewed a perspective in its own right, as the traditional patriarchal denigration of feminine energies that has been going on until relatively recently, and just as harmful.

Broersma developed her own theories over the past twenty years of working with horses and children with special needs, as well as through a twelve-year series of horse camps for teenagers and weekend workshops for adults. The book brings together the author’s forty years of work with horses as a trainer and instructor, her studies in mythology and body-based healing modalities, and healing touch for horses and other animals. Riding into Your Mythic Life is based on the author’s experience with the remarkable people who have stepped into a larger life while partnering with equally remarkable horses.
