About the Author

Douglas Taylor was born in Long Beach , California in 1953. Working as a carpenter he was able to save money and travel around the world exploring remote and exotic areas enjoying his favorite pastime-surfing. His growing interest in metaphysics was seemingly guiding his spiritual philosophy that culminated in a series of psychic experiences with agencies both extra-terrestrial and celestial which opened his mind to altered and higher states of consciousness. He began receiving beautiful healings from these celestial agencies which promted him to start expressing creatively both through painting and writing. His painting improved very rapidly and at his first art show he sold fourteen pieces. He now has a succesful line of greeting cards,a thriving fine art bussiness,(his UFO art is considered by many to be some of the best in the world). He does slide show lectures teaches classes in meta-physics and has done hundreds of interviews on radio and television talk shows throughout the country.

4.0 out of 5 stars A delightful treat for the mind and heart, September 15, 2003

This review is from: Soulic Journeys: A Visionary Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment (Paperback)

This is not just a book with words, it is a journey through an art gallery or rather a series of dream-like landscapes. I would recommend it to people who want to try lucid dreaming or creative visualization. A word of caution though: this is first and foremost a catalogue of the artist's paintings. The accompanying text contains very little that is original, being mostly a patchwork of quotes from famous people, personal anecdotes and transcripts of talks given by the author. So if you are looking for profound, elaborate spiritual teachings you will be disappointed. Maybe the best thing to do before ordering this book is to visit the author's website (soulicjourneys.com)and see if you really like his paintings.

"Being someone who has been studying metaphysical principles for many years, I like the fact that the book gets right into the teaching. The pictures I find very soothing and relaxing so that the mind clears and allows me to connect easily with my higher self or soul body."

I am greatly impressed and at a loss for words to describe the paintings and information in the book 'Soulic Journeys' by Douglas Taylor. There are so many elements and profound thought behind his work that make it truly unique. It is inspiring to know that his contact with extra-terrestrials opened him to such artistic genius. This book is an'out of this world' experience for all.
