Looking Within

by Arlene Graston

For most people life is exclusively the human experience. From birth they identify with being a body and they become the personality conditioned by their environment. For Arlene Graston, the memory of who and what she was before her human birth has brought her exceptional challenges in dealing with the perception of two realities. As a writer she explores the meaning of these challenges and as an artist she celebrates the beauty of the universal nature. Her work is unique and inspiring. This book in words and exquisite artwork is a most unusual and creative memoir.Every human life is a story and yet a vast Silence is the source of it all. From this Silence, Arlene, plunges heart and soul into our cacophonous humanity to be a writer and an artist—first in Paris, now in New York. She loves the sensual aliveness and variety of this planet and finds wonder in the most ordinary day.Even the challenges are opportunities for learning wisdom. In this new book she quietly resolves the disparity between the world she lives in and the world she feels inside. Devoted to her inner vision she attempts to bring “heaven to earth” as she celebrates the inner nature. Beauty and Joy are the substance of that nature—to know and feel that substance is to transcend conditioned thinking and be whole. We are amazing creatures and have a Light to shine. This Light shines in her work.
