Description
Stoddart chronicles a remarkable soul journey and spiritual memoir of self-discovery that begins at the threshold of life and death. In 1951, with his mother nearly dying during childbirth, she witnessed the author's birth from an out-of-body experience in the presence of angels.
A spiritual seeker and healer from an early age, Stoddart practices meditation, visits psychic mediums, aura balancing groups, and joins Edgar Cayce Study Groups, even making the pilgrimage to the ARE headquarters in Virginia Beach.
As part of a military family, his numerous moves during childhood coincided with remarkable synchronicities and meaningful coincidences. The memoir explores unexplained experiences and the intersection of science and spirituality.

Stoddart is an exceptional writer, and his prose is elegant. His portrayals of the places he feels are home (his “arrivals”) are drawn with lovely detail that borders on poetry (“There are places that know you before you know yourself, landscapes that call to something deeper than memory or logic”). These sections are written with such beauty that they draw readers into the author’s world, and will undoubtedly resonate with many. BookBrowse
