Hi Rose, Thank you for answering my question! I am quite intrigued to learn more on why you were interested in writing about "Seeking Spiritual Enlightenment"? It would be a privilege to hear what you have to say. Thank you, Rose!

Horatio, you're welcome. Talk about privilege -- it's the signal privilege of my life to be a teacher and writer. That said, for so many reasons I was interested in writing "Seeking Enlightenment in the Age of Awakening." Maybe you and other Goodreaders can relate to the following reason.
When you were growing up, do you remember certain family events when you had to sit at the Kids' Table? At a certain point, didn't you outgrow that?
Like that, a ton of spiritual teaching today is for beginners; some of them, maybe, as trusting as sweet little children. Yet the truth value of the teachings? That's often lacking.
I'd like to help folks develop more discerment so they can't be taken in by so-called experts... who aren't.
Besides writing the book you just asked about, Horatio, this morning I published on Goodreads and YouTube a new resource. This video might help: Wise Discernment about Spiritual Awakening.
If you enjoy that video sample of my Enlightenment coaching, check out that full-length book you asked about here, Horatio. As Goodreaders we have a big advantage in life. When it comes to gaining trustworthy knowledge from how-to books, every one of us can sit at the Grownups' Table.

Hello! I have read Seeking Enlightenment in the Age of Awakening and found it so interesting. Why did you decide to call this time "The Age of Awakening" rather than the "Age of Enlightenment" or anything else? I figure there may be an interesting reason. Thank you so much, the book helped me a lot.

Hi Rose, I am lost in this world of promoting a book. I am 73 years old and have written my first Creative Fictional novel, but have no idea how all this works. I self published it on Amazon Kindle as an eBook and as paperback. I've been told it's a good story, I take that with a grain of salt. Could you let me know what you think? Free read 4/1/23 - 4/2/23 as eBook. JENNY AND THE GHOST OF FOGGY BOTTOM LANDING.
