LIGHT YEARS is both spiritual memoir and teaching. In Barbara's journal chronicle of thirty years and her present-day commentary on it, we observe an actual process of spiritual awakening, beautiful and raw-an intimate, provocative probing of consciousness, love, and being. We see relative reality and absolute reality dancing together in her experience and awareness and understand how this is also true for us: We already are what we aspire to become. LIGHT YEARS elucidates the spiritual path in both its individually unique and its universal aspects. A reader wrote to Barbara: "This is a guidebook for the path, coming to us from our own culture in our own time. I found it to hold the same potency as working directly with a spiritual teacher: my karmas began to quicken, old patterns dissolved, and my spiritual evolution organically came bare in step with yours. I felt the jewels of your realizations being planted in my mindstream."
