A new take on religion, science, psychology, relationships, success and many other cornerstones of the lives of most people. And, ancient wisdom. Ancient wisdom keeps getting repackaged - new and improved. This book will help you understand the seeds of wisdom from which many ideas have grown. Plant your own seeds - tend your own garden. No need to buy prepackaged wisdom. Here you'll learn how. You will explore the differences in spirituality and religion; psychology and common sense; science and science fiction; and, the unseen, hidden, occult. Many religions teach their way is the only path to god. Not so. Just plain, flat out wrong. There are as many paths to god as there are human beings who have ever lived, are living or will ever live. It's personal. Not institutional. A rudimentary understanding of psychology and good old common sense helps us live in this material world a happier, more sane being. A few basic concepts and you will be amazed how easy life may become. Some scientists have gotten out of the box and discovered different ways to view our world. Orthodox scientists consider some of this work akin to science fiction. It's not. Science is also running into spirit! We live in a magical, mysterious world. Our logical minds keep attempting to trivialize it all. To fit the unseen into the seen. Is the occult - the unseen, hidden, secret, paranormal - real? Well, maybe? Many of us are interested in the occult. We yearn for an understanding of a deeper, spiritual reality. Astrology, shamanism, ancient oracles all reveal the mystery we live in everyday. Until we can explain or see something we label it as out there, new age nonsense, woo-woo. Like electricity, once it can be explained it fits into our material view of the world. Always remember electricity and magnetism. We have absolutely no idea what they are. Reading this book will shake up your world. It presents a new way to think about what it means to be alive at this most exciting time. Some of the old models have outlived their usefulness. Are you ready to shift - to see you are love?
About the Author: Ann Ranson was born and raised in the hills of West Virginia - a country girl. She earned her MBA degree from Georgia State University in Atlanta at the tender young age of 40. She was a successful business woman prior to leaving that game at age 52. In her mid 40s Ann began her own personal journey. With every promotion life became less meaningful - empty somehow. So, her search began for meaning and answers to the perennial questions - who am I? - why am I here? what's the meaning of life? She began to question the religion of her youth and to study many philosophical and religious traditions - all in an attempt to understand. Her interests and studies have included psychology, transpersonal psychology, philosophy, astrology, spirituality, religion, science, human potential and many more. She teaches classes, writes a blog, discoveringwisdom.com, and works one on one with people who are at a crossroad in their own journey. She lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina with her husband of many years and their dog, Cayce.
