Quantum Shaman: Diary of a Nagual Woman

by Della Van Hise

Diary of a Nagual Woman is the compelling story of one woman’s journey on the path with heart. A personal and chilling confrontation with the very nature of life and death, which brings the reader face to face with the shaman’s the immortal & mysterious Other who takes on a life of his own, & manifests the key to unlocking our own evolution of consciousness. The double is the higher self, the energy body, the dreaming body, but contrary to what we have been led to believe, the higher self is not necessarily confined to energy alone, as the author discovered on an otherwise insignificant morning in the spring of 1988. In this book, you will meet Orlando at the same time the author first encounters him - and it is a meeting that is both humorous and life-altering, for it brings what is traditionally considered impossible into the realm of possibility, and launches both author and reader into a journey that has no beginning and no end - and is as personal to every seeker as his or her own fingerprints. For anyone familiar with the works of Carlos Castaneda, Don Miguel Ruiz or Theun Mares, Diary of a Nagual Woman continues the journey and expands it into areas seldom explored in other works, bringing a quantum comprehension to what has traditionally been considered a mystical path alone.

About the author

Della Van Hise is a native of Florida, transplanted to California at the age of 21, who has subsequently sunk her roots into the high desert near Joshua Tree National Park. She has not personally seen any aliens since around 1992, but there is rumored to be a secret UFO base underneath her house.

Della's writing started around age 11, when she would bang out some of the very earliest "fan fiction" on an old Smith Corona typewriter. No, not an electric one. A real antique, made of metal and heavier than a wet coffin. Her first professional novel was best-selling KILLING TIME - the controversial Star Trek novel which was recalled and re-edited in 1984. None of the rumors were true, of course. It was just a Star Trek book - but apparently a good enough work that the first "reboot" movie borrowed heavily from the plot and structure.

More recently, Della has written extensively in the non-fiction genre, with titles such as QUANTUM SHAMAN: DIARY OF A NAGUAL WOMAN and SCRAWLS ON THE WALLS OF THE SOUL. "Quantum Shaman" focuses heavily on the author's metaphysical explorations and experiences, while "Scrawls" is a continuation of those journeys many years later. If you enjoyed the works of Carlos Castaneda or Don Miguel Ruiz, you'll enjoy the non-fiction works of Della Van Hise.

In addition, Della has written professionally for Tomorrow Magazine and other prominent science fiction publications. Her most recent fiction works include Ragged Angels (an award-winning vampire novel); Year of the Ram (a space-faring gay romance); and COYOTE - a romantic science fiction novel combining the mystical aspects of martial arts, coming of age, and personal sacrifice.

Della's favorite mantras include:
The destruction of faith is the beginning of evolution.
You have to BE immortal before you can know how to BECOME immortal.
The core of your beliefs determines the realities you *see* and obliterates those you choose to ignore.

No understanding of actual Enlightenment

It's a fun story, but don't try to base a spiritual path on it. The chapter on Reincarnation will be a complete giveaway to any awake awareness.

The false self is not real, it's just a part of the equally unreal ego that holds beliefs, opinions and positions based upon manufactured memories. Check with any Neuroscientist, or any awakened Buddhist, Sufi, etc. Nothing of the ego can survive the death of the physical unit. There are no 'levels' of enlightenment.

The author apparently teaches this fiction in workshops and people probably pay her for it. Maybe someone should start classes based on Richard Bach's books too?
