This World of Echoes - Book One

This World of Echoes—A Divine Guide to Being Human - gives us clear, beautiful keys to becoming spiritually conscious beings whilst living as human personalities on Earth. Book One of this profound trilogy introduces the unfolding of Divine energy from its Still point at source to increasingly dense, distorting layers of substance and consciousness that we—as human personalities—define as 'reality’. Its beautiful language takes us to a universe of new thought and higher states of knowing. In layers of meaning it explores the nature of Self, the duality of our personal worlds and the wholeness of the greater Life that surrounds us.

What if the world you inhabit is not itself real but the end result of waveforms echoing from the source of all Life—a source that humans label ‘Divine’ because it is beyond our full knowing. Yet we sense it and yearn to be more conscious of its presence in our lives. Why do many spiritual teachings say that the world we inhabit is illusory when it feels so solid and real? How does our ability to resolve this and other paradoxes further our spiritual evolution? This World of Echoes-A Divine Guide to Being Human, offers divine keys to understanding our experience of being humans on planet Earth, and our relationships with each other, ourselves and the greater Life. In beautiful, liquid language This World of Echoes releases our old limiting ideas and perspectives and opens our inner senses to the boundless mystery of being. It teaches us how to recognise and rise above the ways in which our personality distorts our ultimately divine nature. The three books that comprise this profound trilogy can be read sequentially or opened anywhere as the whim or need arises. Even after many readings the quality of its wisdom remains fresh, resonant and useful—a rich resource for pondering and meditation.

Jacquelyn E. Lane writes from a global perspective on nature and spirituality, bending the boundaries of our perception, inviting us to rethink our understanding of reality. Jacquelyn is a New Zealander. She grew up in Wellington and in the Pacific Island nation of Western Samoa and studied at Victoria and Massey Universities. In the mid 1980s with two young sons in school and a social science degree behind her, Jacquelyn turned a life-long love of drawing into an art career and was for many years an exhibiting member of the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts. In adulthood she has travelled extensively and lived in several countries. The interface between science and metaphysics is where this author-artist is most at home. With over forty years study and experience in metaphysics and the Mind Body Spirit field in general it’s no surprise that in This World of Echoes—A Divine Guide to Being Human Jacquelyn has gifted us a profound trilogy that explores the unfolding of divine energy from its still point at source out into the increasingly dense and distorting layers of substance and consciousness to form what we know as ‘our world’ of the physical body and human personality. Jacquelyn and her husband have recently resettled in New Zealand after years of transience. She has many stories—about her work, her travels and the learning that comes from those physical and internal journeys—all sufficient for books of their own. With her recent return to New Zealand, Jacquelyn has replaced a fifteen year membership of the British Society of Authors with membership in the NZSA. In the past she has written esoteric articles for interest groups like the Aura-Soma International and Australia magazines and her work was featured in the German magazine Esotera. She illustrated Julie Leibrich’s delightful children’s book Once in a Blue Moon (Random House (NZ) Ltd 1995). Jacquelyn’s novel, (for adults and young adults) The Children of Gaia—An adventure with Deva, Earth’s Hidden Kingdom, is soon to be released in its second edition in hard cover with Jacquelyn’s 177 fine art illustrations. It will also be published as an eBook with a limited number of pictures. She is particularly looking forward to completing a non-fiction on the deva kingdom. Jacquelyn runs workshops on art and metaphysics.
