We All Get it Right Eventually

About the Book

This book is about how we (our souls) evolve over many lifetimes in order to become human beings who are both wise and whole. And its message is very positive and very clear. Sooner or later we will all find our way. We will all get it right eventually.

Along the way we learn that what is to be treasured most in Earthly life is its profound mystery. To penetrate the mystery we need to first realize how much of our lives have been spent absorbed in achieving goals that have nothing to do with our developing souls. Learning to trust our instincts, our emotions and our intuition heightens our awareness and helps us to perceive and understand the realities that lie beyond our ordinary senses just waiting to be discovered.

Utilizing the perspectives of openness and awareness, the forces that truly direct our lives, such as authenticity, the evolving soul, karma, reincarnation, integrity, courage, essence and divine intervention are explored. The concept of soul age has particular relevance as a sensible and rational alternative to our traditional ways of trying to understand the underlying causes of violence in adults and children.

Dr. Millstein treats the issues of old age with gentleness, humor and honesty. He is, after all, an old person who knows whereof he speaks. He presents research findings indicating that old age has no escape, and none is necessary. He uses the concept of gerotranscendance and his own experience to inform readers of all ages about the myths and the truths surrounding old age.

Finally, this is a positive and uplifting book that shows how real optimism can arise from the search for spiritual truth. The more we know, the greater our chances of understanding and embracing our ultimate destiny. When we are able to awaken spiritually, we give our lives meaning and importance that is available to us in no other way.
