About the author

I am a clinical psychologist with a second doctorate in Ministry, an ordained interfaith minister, and the author of 12 books on the psychology, spirituality and mysticism of the second half of life.

Upon turning 75, I felt the compelling need to spend time in solitude, to live more fully in the mystical consciousness I have been writing about. So I did. I stopped doing workshops, talks, papers. For three years!

As the experience deepened, I started spontaneously writing mystical poetry in the tradition of Hafez, Rumi, Kabir, Gibran. It was a complete surprise. Hundreds of poems poured forth, and they keep coming from the deep place of God’s residence in my soul.

My first book of mystical poetry was titled, I Am God: Wisdom and Revelation from Mystical Consciousness. My second book, just published, is called, Divinity Rising: Beyond Illusion, Suffering and Death. You can learn my work at www.johnrobinson.org.
