Initiation Into Miracles: Footsteps in the Ashes of the Divine

by Nigel R. Taylor, James F. Twyman

An inspirational book that details the steps experienced on one's spiritual journey. It is two books in one- the life story and the lessons (footsteps) that were realised after the event. Nigel Taylor details a beautiful, engaging, and compelling story of the unfolding miracles of his own spiritual journey. Initiation into Miracles takes you with him, side-by-side, footstep-by-footstep, as he shares the most intimate elements of his Soul's journey into the heart of the Divine. Cross the world with him as he travels in Spirit to his native Australia and then onward, as he treks across the worlds of earth and Spirit. Share the heights of his quest and the depths of his pain as he comes face to face with some of the greatest masters of all time. Feel with him the agony and the ecstasy as he meets, in Spirit, Lord Krishna, Paramahansa Yogananda, and Jesus the Christ. Walk with him as he tests every step on the path, as he falters, and as he re-gathers his strength to move deeper into the realms of profound spiritual truth. Witness the ever-present guiding Light that pulls him deeper and deeper into a spiritual "no-mans land". Feel his frustration and experience his relief, as he searches for the source of this Light. Stand with him and reflect on your own life’s journey, as he comes face to face with the master who has guided him since childhood. Discover the One who sent angels to help him - who, moment by gripping moment, led him into challenges chosen for his Soul long before birth. Embrace understanding with him as the One reveals to him why he has walked his journey and how his every footstep fits the groove made by those of the Divine. Nigel’s tenacity leads him miracle-by-miracle into the heart of the Avatar of this age. Initiation into Miracles reveals how he came to know the deep truths he teaches. Share intimately with him as he takes his message out to the world, spreading the message he has been given across race, creed, and culture. You will recognise yourself in Nigel's journey as he cleverly weaves a tapestry of his personal experience into the fabric of a forgotten spiritual tradition. Through Nigel’s articulation of his own journey, you will awaken to the remembrance of your Soul's purpose. You will relive your own spiritual genesis. You will recognise your own experiences within Nigel's. The faces and places will be different, but there you are! You are there with your own parents, in your own childhood. You see your first attempt to reconcile where you have come from in Spirit, with where you are now being asked to go in the physical school of life. You watch as loved ones die and the newly born embrace life. You feel your way through the challenges of love, as the ego takes you on a ride. You come to the point of admitting defeat and you feel the joy of being pushed out of this space into the unknown future. You look into the eye of death as it draws you to the Light. And you are the one who finally awakens from the dream that tied you to the illusion that you actually knew what was really going on in your life! Nigel’s message is drawn from life itself. He delves deeply into the Souls of those who have shaped his reality. They represent just about every nationality on this planet, for his path has taken him into the hearts and homes of Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Moslems, Hebrews, Native Americans, and Aboriginal Australians. Meet Nigel on the timeline of his spiritual sojourn and take his experiences into your heart, for they are your own experiences manifested in the words of his journey. You will feel your life uplifted as his has been. You too will open the door to Spirit, engage the realm of the angels, and feel the presence of the Avatar of this age. This book was inspired by the Divine presence of Nigel’s own spiritual master, Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Working as an instrument for the Divine pen, Nigel has encoded the imprint of Divine presence in these pages.
