A L.I.F.E. BLUEPRINT: Spirituality Designed for the Non-Religious (Synopsis)
Part I – The book’s beginning finds the author a chubby teenager, as she struggles with being accepted by her peers. She finds that a membership in church will secure her some popularity. Thus begins a life of compromise and acquiescing ? far from the original "blueprint" for success with which the very young, independent Diana was born.
As a maturing adult, no goals seemed more important than to become a wife and a mother. After those goals were met and completed, the empty nest syndrome set in. Twenty-four years into her comfortable marriage, the author experiences a paranormal "awakening of the spirit." The event triggers a mid-life crisis and she decides to walk away from the nest toward a spiritual path. Strange sensations in her emotional and physical body seemed to be quelled by thinking, on a soul deep level, about getting to know God. Finding the Self became paramount. Dramatic events begin to unfold.
Diana, the author, is also a professional interior designer. She realizes she is now in the business of redesigning her own "soul’s interior." Her pathway to spirituality leads her through interesting encounters with physical and non-physical guides, all opening doors to the next step. Her accomplishment in finding the spiritual dimension of her personality brings her to her personal joy and she wants to share what she has learned.
She finds very creative ways to prove to her reader that there are secular ways to look at spirituality without giving it a parochial or theological metaphor. First she describes the metaphysical world as seen through the science of physics. Following that is a chapter devoted to an exploration of the fine arts through a simple art course. The astute reader will realize that the course is also an opportunity to review the lives they are living, and to observe whether or not they have really taken a good, close look.
More chapters in this section offer the reader methods for getting what they want out of life. Twenty personal growth tips are offered. If one were to follow these powerful tips, he would have life completely figured out.
Part III gives ideas of how the individual can use spiritual values to rise to his potential, and to change himself and his world. Spiritual people are powerful people. Each has an obligation to contribute, in some way, to a better society.
Part IV is a review and poses pertinent questions to anyone considering a spiritual path as their path.
