Conscious Aging with John Robinson, Ph.D.

I Am God: Wisdom and Revelation from Mystical Consciousness came to fruition during a three-year retreat into solitude in my mid-70’s. I withdrew from all my professional and workshop activities to live more fully the mysticism I had been describing. To my surprise, hundreds of poems and revelations began germinating from this deep seed of divine consciousness – divinity streaming up from root to bloom, nourished by the sacred waters of age. Now approaching 80, I feel like the living archetype of the old monk who dwells in a sacred garden but shares the revelations from his richly-embodied panentheism with those who visit. I have entered the mystery stage of aging’s re-enchantment. This book represents the first harvest from the sacred tree at the garden’s center. May you experience my awakening reading it, and may your divine consciousness grow in beauty, wisdom and love as we together cultivate humanity’s long-awaited spiritual blossom.

Brilliant. Struggling to retire at age 78, I eagerly read this in search for a road map through my own disorientation and depression. The ideas in this book are illuminating, provocative and challenging. I know I will read it again and again.
