From THE AGE OF MIRACLES Sometimes what we appear to have lost is simply something it was time to leave behind. Perhaps our system just lets something go, our having moved through the experience and now needing it no more. A friend of mine was sitting once with two of his best friends, a couple he'd partied long and hard with during the l960s. At about ten in the evening, the couple's twentysomething daughter came home, saw them on the couch, and admonished them, ''You guys are so boring! You never go out!'' To which all three responded in unison, ''We were out, and now we're in.'' The mind is its own kind of dance floor. If in fact the highest, most creative work is the work of consciousness, then in slowing down we're not doing less; we're doing more. Having slowed down physically, we're in a better space to rev up psychically. We are becoming contemplative. We are shifting from the outer to the inner not in order to begin our demise, but to reseed and regreen the consciousness of the planet. And that's what is happening now: We're going slower in order to go deeper, in order to go faster in the direction of urgently needed change in the world. - Marianne Williamson

Synopsis
This CD set is a passionate call to embrace the power and inspiration that opens up to us in the middle of our lives.Best-selling author and lecturer, Marianne Williamson psychologically and spiritually reframes this transition so that it leads to a wonderful sense of joy and awakening.Midlife is not a crisis; it is a time of rebirth. It is not a time to accept your death. It is time to accept your life and to finally, truly live it, as only you and you alone know deep in your heart it was meant to be lived.

Von B. Stieff
Format:Taschenbuch
Das Buch hat mich durchaus berührt und die erste Hälfte habe ich verschlungen. Mit der Zeit wird es aber inhaltlich dünner. Viele Beispiele von Lebensentwürfen im Midlife sind seltsam "amerikanisch", voller Lokalkolorit, obwohl das Thema ein weltumspannendes ist. Auch die Erwähnung der persönlichen Freundschaft zu Oprah Winfrey und das "Einfächeln" amerikanischer Celebrities, könnte man in diesem Alter schon hinter sich gelassen haben...

A Thoughtful and Memorable Perspective on Conscious Aging
14. Januar 2008
Von O. Brown
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
*****
The Age of Miracles: Embracing the New Midlife describes a refreshing way to approach midlife, not viewing midlife through glasses emphasizing decline and loss, but through a framework of endless possibility, wisdom, an embracing of and creation of new meaning, a turning towards life, a realization of the limitlessness of God, a forgiving of the past, a reimagination of relationships, and being one with the world around us.
Although this book is grounded in A Course in Miracles (as are all of Marianne Williamson's books), it is spiritual rather than religious and appropriate for readers of all spiritual and religious backgrounds. The book is not about ACIM per se, but about aging; there indeed are other books that can be read to find out more about ACIM. This work consists of Marianne Williamson's thoughtful musings on how to age well from a practical and spiritual point of view.
The book is peppered throughout with beautiful short prayers written by the author. The chapters cover the author's thoughts on the losses versus the gains of aging, family of origin issues, healing from childhood wounds, coping with regret, emotional baggage and more. The book describes how to fan into flames our passions, dreams, and inner fire that may seem to be ashes and cinders but is buried under "accumulated burdens and disappointments" by the time we hit midlife---and can be revived. How do we re-enchant ourselves with a new vision at this time of our lives?
Here is a quote that sums up the theme of this book: "Midlife today is a second puberty of sorts. The experience, including its length, is being redefined. It is a period distinctly unlike youth, yet distinctly unlike old age. It doesn't feel like a cruise to the end of our lives so much as a cruise, at last, to the meaning of our lives."
If reading the above excites you and sounds intriguing, you'll love the book as I did.
Highly recommended.

I bought both the book and the CD series of this. I have only done that a handful of times.
However, Marianne's writing is so engaging that I wanted to read it. I love listening to her while driving as well as I resonate with her voice and her way of expressing herself.
For me, my life only gets better as I age. The early years were actually rougher for me than getting older. But, for those of you struggling with mid-life, this book will give you a very positive perspective on the whole thing and may be just the ticket if you're feeling down.
I find it very validating of thoughts and feelings I've had - and she puts things in a way that I never would have myself that I can really relate to.
Enjoy!

Can I give this book more than 5 stars? Well I DO!
Marianne's extraordinary understanding of spiritual topics is over the top in her new book, The Age of Miracles:Embracing the New Midlife. She changes our perceptions about midlife. I am so grateful because every day I look at my life in a totally thankful way. I never thought that I could get to the place where I felt that MY age is the best. I am so looking forward to the years ahead. Marianne is such a blessing to all ages. I had tears streaming down my face throughout the whole introduction to the book. The joy that I feel in my heart from Marianne's inspiration is so big that my heart hurts. I will be Loving this book throughout my life.
Bravo Marianne! Love and Blessings, Mary Albertson
