What is the healing power of a life-giving cosmology (a comprehensive origins story) that brings us back to a sense of meaning and belonging to the universe? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart memoir, part lyrical essay and poetry, Sacred Earth Rising Within carries a powerful message of hope for the human prospect. It begins with the author's early experiences as a minister's son, and the life-changing impact of the kidnapping and attempted murder of his sister when they were just seven and eight years old. This early trauma thrust the author into a spiritual rupture and a subsequent journey back toward wholeness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author draws striking parallels between this personal trauma and the larger collective trauma of our culture's severance from the natural world. He extends this as well to the traumatic aspects of our lack of grounding in a larger unifying story. The author explores the cosmology of Teilhard de Chardin, Thomas Berry, Brian Thomas Swimme, among others as the foundation for a cultural cosmology for out times that will renew a sense of meaning and purpose to human existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterweaving poetic landscape interludes with narrative non-fiction and poetry, the author presents a new hybrid genre that speaks to the heart, mind, and spirit of the human. The result offers a profoundly healing narrative for our time, one that is both personal and universal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-5876529\"\u003eK.
