“We are all connected in Love’s energy mystical might. Where you end . . . I am there . . . in the Blue-Black of Knight. We merge into the Oneness, and with Venus’s blush on our face, a New Universe is present to embrace. In the undulation of rhythmical Love, this new Universe, this new state extant, is able to take a nubile first breath and takes flight into the dawning Light … filled with a newborn baby’s happy sighs and … seeks Eternity’s Sunrise.” “That early spring day …When we first met … I knew I was dead …I knew I was done I was outnumbered … You were only One You charged into the battle Hopeless even to have Begun ….” Chung is a Samurai born in the 1500s. He enters infinite numbers of Nows and dimensions through portals and, in this way, can Time travel. “I slip between worlds at sunset. Sunset is when Mystics come out to play. Forgotten stories of Heros can be found among the stars. When there is only fear and hate in the world, Legends of one lone individual or group winning against insurmountable odds are found among the stars. All to bring Hope to subjugate fear and hate and allow Peace and Understanding to steer the Stars.” Mind Walking the Eons of Mystical Memories sees Chung search and find his Lost Love, Soft Moon Rising.

The Emerald Tablets were thought to be written in hieroglyphs and translated in the 2n century AD. Mystical Memories echo Elocuously Throughout the Eons.

This is the extraordinary true tale of a middle-class, gay American's path to encounters with the Great Mystery that is God/dess/Self. The way to the Great Unknown was intricately intertwined with his humanity with all its foibles, and with human relationships. Therefore this story has to include those relationships, revealing ultimately how a one's personal identity and relationships become vehicles for enlightenment. This inspiring account of struggle, travel to exotic lands, suffering, and transcendence holds out hope for anyone who has ever felt outcaste, broken, or unworthy, demonstrating for our modern times that enlightenment lies within reach of us all.

The study of religious education is of great interest in analyzing how schools and educational authorities address the demands of multicultural and multi-religious societies and states. As diversity increases through migration, globalization and conflicts, schools are faced with equally diverse challenges, one of which is the religious and cultural diversity that characterizes schools and communities. While many studies have focused on this change and its impact in politics, school and classroom, relatively few have focused on how teachers and educators have fared. Sitting between the new policies and school demographics, teachers and educators have shaped the policy in their engagements. The study of life trajectories shows that the lines between religion and religious education are blurred in personal life histories, and that positions can shift due to personal and contextual developments. They point to the innovative and unexpected turns that individuals trace in their personal life journeys. This book reminds us that we need to pay more attention to the teachers, principals, managers and public intellectuals who shape and are shaped by the changing context of religion and religious education. This book was originally published as a special issue of Religion & Education.
