In the aftermath of recent tragedies, it’s comforting and important to be reminded of the spiritual dimension and the joy and serenity that can be found there. Laid-out somewhat like The Artist’s Way, this book is filled with inspiring quotes, (e.g. “Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards.” –Soren Kierkegaard, or from Carlos Castaneda, “Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t it’s of no use.”) and grounded with exercises that are intended to guide one deeper within and provide freer access to one’s own intuitive guidance.
The author addresses such questions as: “What is God?” She then leads the reader into an introspective process to uncover what God means to them personally. Chapters are devoted to intuition, money, creating joy, gratitude, even one called “Choosing God Thoughts,” and another questioning what you’d do if you knew you couldn’t fail.
Robinson’s premise is derived from her years of metaphysical study: what you focus on is what you get more of. Her book is an entertaining guide for aligning your focus. The exercises provide quick methods to go inside and discover what you feel about money, for instance, or how to access your intuitive guidance and hear the still small voice within. Her goal is to help the reader generate a life that’s true to him or herself and to actively use inner resources that may have been previously untapped or misunderstood.
Robinson is also a working psychic, and co-author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide To Being Psychic, another excellent book in which one gets a solid sense of her range of knowledge. In both books she brings good ideas together simply, and in Divine Intuition, lyrically, as well.
