Front Cover
Metaphor Publications, Mar 14, 2004 - Body, Mind & Spirit - 268 pages
This ground-breaking book takes meditation, contemplation and prayer and makes them accessible to anyone interested in personal evolution. Using the symbolic information encoded in the number 7, and a set of beads designed to take advantage of the many sets of ``7 Mysteries'' in human cultures, Rev. Alesia Matson D.D. places before the reader a banquet of choices for contemplative study, then in a warmly engaging way shows how these ``sets of 7'' can literally transform an entire life -- for the better. From an interview with Dr. Matson, published in the March 2004 issue of The New Age Journal: ``There is a reason why 7 occurs so often as a set delimiter, and each time it does it's reminding us in a covert way of why we're here: Evolution. Transformation. Transcendence.'' Personal evolution. Self empowerment. World transformation. Presented without devotion to any one dogma or doctrine. Let 7 Mysteries: Contemplative Arts for the Modern Mystic be your guide into a more powerful, higher functioning you!
