This is one of those books ... once you've read it you will wonder what you had been thinking of the world before that time. It is informative, inspirational, wise and genuinely important ... the voices which you will hear from will guide your life into areas you never dreamed were even there. Do yourself a favour and explore the realms of other cultures, and the lessons they provide for us ... they are invaluable. From the One Heart which is Planet Earth.

I read this book many years ago. I was studying with Dyhani Ywahoo at the time. I found it again at Amazon after losing my first copy. The book is really a set of interviews of these Elders. Little did I know that I would end up meeting or working with a number of the 'Elders mentioned in this book. I learned that some of these persons were not supported by their tribal communities and others were. In general I would say that the Elders I met were loving kind people sincere in their belief and sense of mission. That in spite of any supernatural claims they are just as human as the rest of us and that was an important teaching. The supernatural is actually natural we don't have to be Saints to experience it. This book allows us to touch the minds and hearts of some very wonderful human beings.
