The Vortex Shift

As a member of a 12-step program and a minister as well, I am deeply impressed with the depth of sincerity (laced generously with levity) that carries the rather deep spiritual teachings of this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking insight into and greater awareness of the shift in consciousness that is happening today. Readers who are willing to listen with their intuition as they read the words on the pages will find a connection with the thoughts, feelings and possibilities that are now awakening throughout the soul of humanity. Besides that, the cover art is captivating! Do yourself a favor and read this book.

Actually, I could review this three separate times with different ratings from one star through five stars according to perspective. Thus, I am rating this from its value as metaphysical speculation and a look at what may well be an upward evolution of mankind. We are all familiar, I'm sure, with talk about the new generation of "Twilight Children". This takes the theory of current evolutionary advancements further and postulates that older generations, senior citizens in particular, are also partaking in this evolution. The concept should be familiar to those who saw the movie COCOON. However, this delves deeper into the spiritual evolution of mankind. All this is explained to us by some very likeable fictional characters such as Barbara, an 88 year old woman who is apparantly in her 60's going on 40 something. The primary character, a painter in his mid 40's, is going through a spiritual crisis and is led to a group of seniors who explain to him what is happening in his life and guide him in dealing with it. These particular seniors are definitely evolving and in doing so, have ceased to age. Four select seniors are actually regressing in their ages, quite dramatically so. We are told clearly how this is happening through eight attunements.Now, as a novel, this book is somewhat lacking. The plot, such as it is, takes second place to the philosophical treatises as to what is happening. And there are specific practices, primarily breathing and drinking lots of purified or distilled water. Anyway, the plot is on the slight side. However, the characters involved are likeable and believable. As a whole, this book reminds me of THE CELESTINE PROPHECY, but in my opinion it is much clearer in its concept. The plot also is somewhat more engrossing than that in the better known book. The upshot is that if you are interested in, and want to learn more about, the possible evolutionary process that we are undergoing, you will find this book quite engrossing and inspiring. However, if you're looking for a good entertaining novel, you might want to look elsewhere.
