Sage-Ing While Age-Ing

I got the audio CD of this. I was really wondering what she could be adding...how could she top 'The Camino' ? Well, close. She is such a terrific storyteller. She covers it all in this one, and she loves that dog (Terry). something in her voice when tallking is so comforting, a lot like Joseph Campbell.

This is a terrific book written from the heart & soul. The author has lived long enough to have a perspective on her life and the world. Regardless of what some people say about her, she has a lot of intelligent things to say. The audio book is very well done, read by the author herself. Thank you Shirley MacLaine.

This book brings the reader full circle from Shirley's previous books. It's perhaps the most important book she has written. She is an investigator with relentless questions and informative information. Shirley shares her research on many subjects, including UFOs, reincarnation, the Mayan calendar/the year 2012, and our future. She imparts wisdom from her many journeys and life experiences. She is a true gift and light to this world. A must read!

Shirley MacLaine is a formidable combination of bestselling author, award-winning actress, glamorous movie star, feminist role model, articulate political activist, force to be reckoned with, and a veritable "Auntie Mame" to multiple generations of spiritual explorers. For many people, Shirley MacLaine's book Out on a Limb (published in 1983) was their first introduction to the man known as the "sleeping prophet," Edgar Cayce. Two books about his life, "There Is a River," and "Many Mansions," enjoyed a huge surge in sales after she mentioned them in her book, and there has been a steady ripple effect, seen and unseen, ever since. Through her writing she serves as a channel for physical, metaphysical, and spiritual information, delivered with a sense of enthusiasm, open-minded intelligence, and always a willingness to learn, discover, and evolve as a result of her quest to know more. The fact that she doesn't let criticism or ridicule stop her from reporting on controversial topics is a testament to her courage. The popularity and financial success of "The Secret," "What the Bleep?" and a myriad of other metaphysics-based endeavors owe much to her trailblazing. Her new book, "Sage-ing While Age-ing," continues in that theme, using brave self-disclosure and intelligent insights to share her many interests - metaphysics, scientific research, ancient civilizations, UFOs, reincarnation, politics, alternative medicine, and spiritual development. Her new book is a compendium of the most recent discoveries being made and cutting edge theories being developed about the mysteries of life - what came before, what's going on now, what will follow, why we are here, and what relationships, patterns, and creative forces drive us and connect us. In her book she explores the phenomenon of synchronicity - how it has worked for her again and again throughout her life - guiding and connecting her to the people and situations that could teach her the most. She remembers an incarnation in Atlantis, and she sees many correlations between the demise of that civilization and the questionable uses of power and technology in the world today. She also shares her many health concerns, and the alternative treatments that have helped her deal with many of the issues we all face related to aging. Shirley's stature and reputation allow her to meet and talk with many of the finest minds doing research into the mysteries of the human body, mind, spirit, and the universe. In her book she shares personal interactions with Stephen Hawking, Gregg Braden, Dr. Michael Newton, and Dr. Larry Dossey. Her knowledge of history, science, and spiritual subjects is impressive, no doubt due to her relentlessly inquisitive nature, keen intelligence, and exclusive access to the foremost experts all over the world. Like many people Shirley is concerned about the state of the world - spiritually, politically, and ecologically. Although she sees much to dishearten her, she
