Several years in the making, it has arrived: Awakening, a collection of self-observations, opening like this: "Higher Centers have a humble beginning. When one first experiences them, which may be for five seconds, a simple Presence without words is peering from one's machine." And so it begins -- self-observations by Robert Earl Burton, spiritual guide and teacher of the Fellowship of Friends. One-hundred forty-two pages later they end: "Your Soul is my art form, my task, my masterpiece. Your Presence is my book. It is a much bigger gift than any of us know to be associated with the conscious aspects of the Ray of Creation and the Absolute...If you knew what Influence C know, you would all stand up and dance." This collection of quotations from formal meetings, dinners, visits to museums, art galleries, and foreign countries where his students live represents a sample of Mr. Burton's effort over nearly fifty years to communicate not just the higher states he is experiencing, but also in the signature form of a true teacher showing us how to experience them ourselves. Simply put, what are these states and how can we reach them ourselves? Recorded, transcribed and printed over the years in thousands of daily cards, in journals, several books and an electronic database now available to his students worldwide, this edition of a still growing collection is being made available for the first time. It is an offering of thanksgiving to everyone on the Planet still living the answer to Rilke's Question. Simply Be.
