5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for all serious students of life May 23, 2011

By Patricia L. Gomavitz

Format:Paperback

As a Michael student (channeled teachings from causal level) I highly recommend Spiritual Turning Points.
Victoria Marina-Tompkins has elaborated on the seven life transitions as presented in the teaching. The book includes an in depth exploration of our progress through these spiritual life transitions which are the cornerstone of the human maturation process in physical, psychological and spiritual terms with recommendations on how to successfully complete each one in the positive mode.
While the human being is maturing in tangible, physical, and psychological ways, the soul is also evolving as it experiences all there is to learn on the physical plane before returning to the Tao, the universal creative source from whence it originally came. Our ongoing connection during times when we may feel separated are noted with comments.
Additional comments related to correlation with astrology and shamanism are included in each level.
It is a must for parents who desire to support their children in positive transitions, one, two and three. The fourth transition (often referred to as mid life crisis) with the ultimate purpose of self realization and the journey to achieve it are eloquently described with real life examples. Life review, dying and death include comforting notes on the life process during these transitions and final transcendence. It is a reminder that all is choice and helps us to remember this during the journey. This is a must for all serious students of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and intriguing... February 9, 2011

Spiritual Turning Points: A Metaphysical Perspective of the Seven Life Transitions by Victoria Marina-Tompkins

Some books, once read, resonate with a powerful truth, leaving you with a perfect moment of utter clarity and you realize if you'd known about this long ago, the knowledge would have made it so much easier to deal with various issues and crises, and outcomes would probably have been accepted with a lot more grace and understanding.

This book, Spiritual Turning Points: A Metaphysical Perspective of the Seven Life Transitions, left me with just such a realization.

Author Victoria Marina-Tompkins writes from a unique perspective, filtered through three metaphysical studies: causal plane (which includes reincarnation), astrology and shamanism. This distinctive blend gives a keen insight into what it means to travel this human path.

The book is structured simply and flows flawlessly from beginning to end, revealing a progression of the human experience from birth (and even before birth) to death... and beyond. Ms. Marina-Tompkins devotes a chapter to each of life's spiritual turning points - life's crossroads, if you will, and gives examples of how those pivotal and transitional moments provide the necessary structure for that person's life plan which helps them advance to the next phase. These become units of experience in the rhythm of life.

Our past lives also affect life choices and current experiences, adding another layer of complexity for why we're here and what we wish to accomplish in this lifetime. Although our soul may know the reasoning, our brain may not, and when uncomfortable situations arise, or the inevitable failing of our physical body occurs, it can be a truly frightening experience. The author successfully shows how to embrace these spiritual turning points and navigate our life with less fear, more anticipation, and a greater appreciation of the lessons we set out to learn.

The writing is fluid, concise, and compassionate. Spiritual Turning Points: A Metaphysical Perspective of the Seven Life Transitions affected me in ways I am still reflecting upon. I highly recommend this intriguing book for anyone who wants an understanding of why and how we choose to weave the myriad tiny threads that become the tapestry of our life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended March 29, 2011

By Merideth Shamszad

Format:Paperback

In my psychotherapy practice, Spiritual Turning Points is proving itself extremely useful: so many of the problems we encounter in life are related to the struggle between the wishes of the personality and the mandates of the soul. Through the multiple and esoteric lenses of causal plane teachings, shamanisma and astrology, Marina-Tompkins has created a clear, concise and readable manual that describes and supports the soul's passage through physical life. I highly recommend Spiritual Turning Points for anyone trying to find their way--and that includes everyone!
