The Age of Miracles: Embracing the New Midlife |
Editorial Review:
The need for change as we get older--an emotional pressure for one phase of our lives to transition into another--is a human phenomenon, neither male nor female. There simply comes a time in our lives--not fundamentally different from the way puberty separates childhood from adulthood--when it's time for one part of ourselves to die and for something new to be born.
The purpose of this book by best-selling author and lecturer Marianne Williamson is to psychologically and spiritually reframe this transition so that it leads to a wonderful sense of joy and awakening.
In our ability to rethink our lives lies our greatest power to change them. What we have called "middle age" need not be seen as a turning point toward death. It can be viewed as a magical turning point toward life as we've never known it, if we allow ourselves the power of an independent imagination--thought-forms that don't flow in a perfunctory manner from ancient assumptions merely handed down to us, but rather flower into new archetypal images of a humanity just getting started at 45 or 50.
What we've learned by that time, from both our failures as well as our successes, tends to have humbled us into purity. When we were young, we had energy but we were clueless about what to do with it. Today, we have less energy, perhaps, but we have far more understanding of what each breath of life is for. And now at last, we have a destiny to fulfill--not a destiny of a life that's simply over, but rather a destiny of a life that is finally truly lived.
Midlife is not a crisis; it's a time of rebirth. It's not a time to accept your death; it's a time to accept your life--and to finally, truly live it, as you and you alone know deep in your heart it was meant to be lived.

Mid-life can be a new starting point:

Getting Older is Great!:
Love from Both Sides: A True Story of Soul Survival and Sacred Sexuality I'm a writer (that's my book), and a hypnotherapist, and because most of my clients are middle-aged women who want to lose weight, I loved this book and recommend it highly. First, as I said, getting older is great, because the alternative is dying, yes? And because my husband died in my arms and then "came back" to chat about love and the sacredness of sex, it changed my perspective on many things. And Marianne's "Age of Miracles," is...more info
Great Book:
Life is a series of changes. Anyone who gets older knows there are different phases in life. In "The Age Of Miracles'" Marianne Williamson tries to help people through their mid-life crisis. People think mid-life means the turning point to death. It should be a time of wisdom. A time to see what is really important in life. If you are having trouble understanding your life and you want true meaning, I suggest you read "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone" by...more info
