"

So anyway spring now has a new book it's called The Spirit of Harriet Tubman Awakening from the Underground.

A central conceit of spring's new book is that she has been having conversations with The Spirit of Harriet Tubman.

I was never this is a new experience Stan what happened with Harriet Tubman. I'm still integrating that experience it still shocks me I'm still amazed I'm still in awe of the whole story I'm in awe of the book I'm in awe of Harriet Tubman I'm in awe of what's happening so know that I'm real time I haven't reached like a final analysis on it here's where I am right now with it but I'm still every day my mind is blown open even when I read the book and I remember oh my gosh that was beautiful oh my god yes.

And then Harriet would just start to appear in my mind oh we decided to write and Harriet would appear like as it started with a lot of thoughts and then images would come and then it'd be like time to have a session and I would sit down at my computer and it would come out and I call them sessions I don't like to use the word channeling.

The book is the three piece dialogue that is like juggling these three pieces so I feel very much like I was a passenger on the spirit underground with Harriet and Harriet took me through 12 stops that's how I see it.

This book was referenced by the host when discussing how marriage has evolved since the industrial revolution, noting that it argues marriage used to be supported by societal structures like faith and family, which is no longer the case. The argument presented was that modern partners expect too much from each other because they are unmoored from those older structures.

"

he wrote a book called Intimate Terrorism which he wrote before 9-11 so it sounds more severe these days than it did in the 90s when he wrote the book but his one of the arguments he makes in the book is that marriage before the industrial revolution when we lived mostly in small towns was weighted down or alternatively you could argue supported by faith and family and all of these societal expectations and you often didn't have a choice of who you married.

And it was sort of a progression of once I finished writing about Ben Demise, I then started writing about my childhood. And what is it's a spiritual memoir that's called Finding Magic.

I write in my book Finding Magic about this book that I read which I loved and it's called A Religion of One's Own.

my book is divided into three sections the first one is magic the second one is mystery and the third is meaning and it was you know that I grew up sort of believing in that believing in magic mystery is when I started feeling you know I was looking for for what it was trying to figure it out and meaning is when I realized that I had found meaning in my life and and that was meaning that was caretaking and love.

Episode: Sally Quinn, Walking the Labyrinth

This new book is a spiritual memoir where Sally Quinn discussed her transformation from being an atheist and detailed stories from her life that had spiritual or illuminating significance. She mentioned that she struggled to write the prologue and epilogue until after her husband's death, at which point she realized the book was about finding meaning in life through caregiving and love.

"

She's also got her own, I would say brand of meditation... And also about her transformation, as I said from a self-described atheist into something else. She broadly describes that something else as magic which she talks about at length in her new book, Finding Magic, a spiritual memoir which is just out.

I mean it is called Finding Magic and it's really about what's the meaning of life.

And the idea is that I took just stories from my life all the way through my life that had some significance, that had some sort of epiphany or something that was illuminating or something that was spiritual or sacred that happened to me, that sort of was throughout the spiritual experience that I had all this time thinking I was an atheist.

I write in my book Finding Magic about this book that I read which I loved and it's called A Religion of One's Own.

My book is divided into three sections the first one is magic the second one is mystery and the third is meaning and it was you know that I grew up sort of believing in that believing in magic mystery is when I started feeling you know I was looking for for what it was trying to figure it out and meaning is when I realized that I had found meaning in my life and and that was meaning that was caretaking and love.
