Mother of Light:The Book of Fire Vol 1 The Bardo

by Junipur Devin

Overview

Explosive, controversial, Mother of Light: The Book of Fire is not like any spiritual diary you've ever read. With searing intensity, the author - writing under the pen name, Junipur - takes us over unknown landscapes, and into wilds of existence, rarely seen. The quest leads us through territories as far-reaching as reincarnation, kundalini awakening, and initiation. There are supernatural battles with adversaries of the left-hand path, encounters with false masters, and much more. As the Age of Pisces comes limping to a close, and the Age of Aquarius begins, Mother of Light is a clarion call to a deeper purpose, a more uncompromising inquiry into matters most dear to the human heart - love, death, the transcendent power of Divine Grace and, finally, freedom for the spirit. This book is not for the sentimental, or the faint-hearted; but those who see the journey through to the end, will be forever changed.

About the Author

In August of 1976, upon sitting for meditation the first time, I had a radical kundalini awakening, which is discussed at length in The Book of Fire. During the nine months of the waxing period of this phenomenon were many seminal visions, experiences. In one such dream, I was expressing (to no visible person) that I yearned to “go to India” – a destination whose significance was clear, to a student of comparative religion (such as I was at the time, at Lewis and Clark College, in Portland, Ore.); over the ages, India is a land of spiritual enlightenment, in the psyche of the collective. A voice spoke out of the ethers, saying simply: “You have to go through Africa, first.” Those were the few, but telling words given, pregnant with the intimations of things to come, to be prepared for – before light, and freedom, the jungles of the unconscious, like wide, wild rivers full of rapids, and unknown creatures of the deep, would have to be crossed. The journey ensued; the ferment I was predestined to encounter traversed,and to what extent I have been capable, transformed. Thus the material for Mother of Light: The Book of Fire came into being, and the story written down. Formal studies abounded in and around the turbulent travels of the inner realms: I graduated from a nationally-renowned academy of natural healing, which was oriented in body-centered psychotherapy and its adjuncts. Traditional scholastic pursuits include the field of Comparative Religion, studied at the University of Virginia, and Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, as well as Transpersonal Psychology, at Temenos Institute, in Connecticut. I went on to do extended work in chakra/karmic clearing, and a further, in-depth apprenticeship in shamanism. A small healing center was created around a crystal shop I opened, in 1987. My search for wisdom has carried me to places as diverse as India and Germany. I took the Reiki initiations, through the 3rd degree. I have been an avid student of astrology and metaphysics since the age of 18, and spent a year in Virginia Beach to devote concentrated time at The Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), founded by the great mystic, Edgar Cayce. I was blessed to hear of, and meet Mata Meera in 1994, an encounter that preserved not only my present life, but my destiny as well.

Editorial Reviews

Beautifully written with expressive language and a dramatic flair, Junipur keeps us turning the pages. Does it ramble in parts? Yes, but so do our lives ramble, and as this is a spiritual autobiography, we join the author down paths that often go nowhere, just like in our own existence.Mother of Light, The Book of Fire" is a fascinating spiritual odyssey, as a seeker of truth yearns for the light and gets tangled up in the darkness,and comes out on the other side through Divine Grace...

Alejandra Vernon

Mother of Light-The Book of Fire is difficult to categorize exactly it's completely out of the box-Like Carlos Castaneda meets The Autobiography of a Yogi meets..Star Wars - The incredible thing is not just that Junipur lived it, but was somehow able to synthesize coherent understanding out of an inconceivable series of events. I found it to be a storehouse of Spiritual experience of many unusual planes, and also a rare view of the horizons of human existence - scary, heartbreaking, remarkable.

Rena Soloman

Mother of Light: The Book of Fire - is a most unusual and fascinating journal of unyielding commitment to spiritual practice (the goal is self-realization) which is an act of love in itself, no holds barred. The story also provides an unusual glimpse at the naturally-occurring interface in Junipur's life between shamanism and spirituality. The "bardo" itself is a concept common to both, referring to the in-between land after a "spiritual death" is undergone..
