A visionary classic by a highly respected Ute healer and mystic. Joseph Rael teaches that all existence is vibration. From human breath and heartbeat, to the pulsating energies of subatomic particles, to the expansion and contraction of stars and the universe itself, pulsation-vibration is inherent in all that exists. Rael shows how we may experience spiritual reality through drumming, chanting, and vision quests.
Joseph Rael (Beautiful Painted Arrow) has been called our greatest living shaman. Here, in the first scholarly examination of his remarkable life and teachings, Kurt Wilt, PhD places this Native American mystic in the context of more familiar writers and mystic traditions, from Sufism and the Kabbalists to Hildegard of Bingen, Joseph Campbell and William Blake. In doing so, he brilliantly uncovers vital connections between Rael's Native American worldview and the deepest roots of visionary teachings. The Visionary, far from being a dry philosophical treatise, tells the fascinating story of a life lived in tune with the Vast Spirit and inspires the reader to learn more and to implement the visionary's teachings through the meditations. This book is for the reader ready to go deeper into the emerging worldview that acknowledges humans' connection to earth and sky, to matter and the unmanifested, to all that is, and all that is coming to be.
Learning to live in harmony with the basic principles of life is the vital message of these stories, interpretations, and practical exercises. A unique and timeless book.
American Indian mystic, Joseph Rael, describes his life and ours as if it were an ongoing school in which we learn how to develop and use visionary and spiritual powers. His story is filled with magic, tragedy, mysticism and metaphor, and he ties it altogether with an ability to make sense of all the seemingly random events of life. In his own case, these go from being an isolated mixed-race child and witnessing the tragic early deaths of his two sisters, to his initiation into the tribal mysteries and his methodical path of self-education, leading to a degree at the University of Wisconsin.
One of the great living visionaries in the Native American tradition presents the most substantial book yet of his teachings, illustrated with 60 of his colorful visionary artworks and links to scores of his voice recordings online. In this collection of his most basic and profound teachings, Joseph Rael writes about sound as the basis for all that is, and shows us how to use sound to remake ourselves and our world.
"Joseph Rael (Beautiful Painted Arrow) is a Native American visionary whose teachings have gained international attention. Though strongly rooted in native traditions, he has lived his life from inspiration. This is Rael's teaching about inspiration itself, "and how," as he says, "inspiration is in all things." Here, in the simple act of counting from one to ten in his native Tiwa tongue, Joseph Rael explores the mysterious connections between energy and matter, between spirit and manifested reality."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
