Editorial Reviews

Review

Inspires readers to approach aging in a positive, life-affirming acceleration of wisdom and consciousness expansion. Since all human beings are aging, this book is for everyone. (Jacquelyn Small, author of Transformers, the Artists of Self-Creation and Becoming A Practical Mystic) Both a moving memoir of the author's own initiation into elderhood, and a timely and practical guide for anyone wanting to reach life's winter season in a more conscious, whole, and fulfilling way. Rev. Robinson describes the three secrets of initiation, transformation, and revelation that produce enlightened elders who have the insight and wisdom necessary to guide the world toward a more sacred and spiritual reality. This book offers a powerful and inspiring blueprint for this profound path, and is a gift for all those who are responding to the call of awakening. (Jeremy Geffen, MD, FACPMedical, oncologist and author, The Journey through Cancer: Healing and Transforming the Whole Person) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The elephant in the room: The challenges and gifts of aging

This small book is essential for every boomer who is fearing the "next stage" and wants more from life than escape and then decline. It is not a how to or quick fix but rather a deep dive into a powerful psycho-spiritual process, w.hat should be a ritual every person reaching old age should go through

Very different perspective on this time of one's life. Robinson offers some new ways of thinking of aging that are thought provoking. He presents the idea that our previous personal identity with career, family, etc. has interfered with and separated us from our "divine inner core." I would recommend this book to those who want to explore another way of looking at the aging process of life.

A healthy approach to maleaging

This book is a must for all aging men. It builds on the foundation of Creation Spirituality, of Matthew Fox, by creating a practical application of Fox's work. It shows a healthy approach to aging, completely different from our culture's view of decay and dysfunction.

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2014

“The Three Secrets of Aging” is a wonderful book; I loved it. Warm, profoundly human, and exquisitely written, it is a moving memoir of John Robinson’s own experience of aging, combining his personal experiences with the many profound insights he has gained through patient and deep introspection. Elements of his story are agonizing, such as his mid-life experience of remembering buried trauma he had experienced during open-heart surgery as a child. In the years that followed that traumatic recollection, as he let go of his career and struggled with a sense of loss of identity, he suffered from feeling of desperation and depression. And yet, through his his open-minded exploration of intuitive spirituality, and careful observation of his aging process, he has somehow now discovered a rare level of divine experience, a revelation of Heaven on earth which deserves to be shared with everyone of every age on this planet.
“The Three Secrets of Aging” never shies away from describing the pain, anguish and fear that often accompany the aging process; in fact, the author insists that we not delude ourselves with some idea that we can avoid aging or delay death indefinitely through some foolish combination of self-deception and New Age techniques. This book looks the painful reality of aging and death squarely in the eye… and in doing so, invites us to the discovery that aging can be a precious opportunity to allow the ‘me,’ the personal identity we’ve spent decades developing, to dissolve, so that the pure Consciousness which is our true nature can be fully revealed. As the author puts it, “I discovered that getting old was Enlightenment in slow motion!” He shares the understanding that the aging process has the potential to lead us all into the revelation of a radiant Divine Presence in the midst of our normal daily lives. And it gives us the opportunity to share our new found wisdom with others and bring the already omnipresent Heaven into full manifestation here and now on earth.
Heartily recommended!
~Ram Das Batchelder, author of “Rising in Love: My Wild and Crazy Ride to Here and Now, with Amma, the Hugging Saint”
