NATURAL MYSTICS
Journey To Your True Identity
by Dr. Will Taegel
This book is about rediscovering Nature and finding Spirituality. The roots of all world religions began
in nature, says Dr. Will. From Jesus' birth amid the animals of the manger to Buddha's forty-nine day stint
underneath the Bo Tree to Mohammed's visits to a desert cave for fasting and solitude, the origins of
spirituality are intertwined with the natural world.
Utilizing his Native American heritage as well as his training in psychotherapy and religion, Dr. Will provides a spiral map for our journey toward our true essence, our soul. We aren't who we though we were - we are far more. Time after time, the troublesome aspects of ourselves that we so often want to erase are the points that can lead us to our essential identity. Vision quests, sweat lodges, and Earthdances becomes entry points into sources for evolving ourselves and healing our planet. No maps can cover such a wild, spiral journey, but there are sign posts. This book is full of them.
On this great journey we learn that the most natural movement in the world is the mystical move between levels of reality...there we breathe easy and know who we really are.
Comments About This Book
"I love what Will Taegel says in is book because it fits my experience so closely. Taegel attests that there is a realm that he and his Earthtribe folk have seen in their visions and concludes that we are all called to this realm from beyond ourselves. His words may well help readers recall their natural affinity with the Infinite."

"NATURAL MYSTICS is fascinating--a real gift. It is a rich, multifaceted, and inspiring book. In it Dr. Taegel gives the reader this rare gift--the gift of a beautifully blanched picture of the universal journey, a journey to mystical essence. Dr. Taegel honors the complexity of this spiral journey as what we would call a " psycho-spiritual process", a process which includes both the psychological work and the spiritual work necessary to move among the differing levels of reality that can eventually lead us to our essence. It's a great guide and a fascinating and rewarding read!"

"Each of us is a mystical being, and each of us needs to understand our own mysterious nature in order to be fully alive. Will has generously unfolded his own experience of awakening in order to awaken his readers. In addition, through the metaphor of his spiraling medicine wheel, he has given you, the reader, a labyrinth to walk, as a map for your own journey toward realizing that you were always 'home.'"
