"Over time, I became even more curious about what it was that inspires and motivates elders to live life so deeply. That was the seed of what ultimately led me years later to a career in teaching human development and helping people tell their life stories." - Robert Atkinson, in an interview with reKiosk contributor Firouz Ardalan
Mystic Journey was recently awarded the 2013 Bronze Living Now Book Award in the "enlightenment & spirituality" category.

This book is deep, and makes anyone who reads this delve deeper within
themselves to understand not only their own spirituality, but also one's
own spiritual and conscious self. --Dad of Divas' Book Reviews
You may or may not be noticing your resolve for New Year resolutions cracking, but we've chosen a Book of the Month to renew your fervor for getting to know and improve yourself on a deeper level. Mystic Journey: Getting to the Heart of Your Soul's Story, by Robert Atkinson,is
the exploration of who we are at our core and why we are deeply
connected to all others on earth.
Mystic Journey explores life's greatest adventure, discovering
who we are at our core by living consciously, as described in the
world's oldest wisdom traditions. We all must explore the path of our
soul, uncovering who we are in this life in order to determine who we
will be in the next life (i.e. heaven, the great beyond, the afterlife,
death). Atkinson uses a multi-faith approach to explain and describe the
lifelong process of soul-making, leading to a personal and collective
transformation. Each chapter of Mystic Journey ends with an
exercise to help readers tell their personal story, and each chapter
explains not only the process of soul-making, but also how each
individual's story connects to that of the whole.
Mystic Journey is an ideal book for those searching for inner
peace, spiritual awareness, or who simply want to write down their story
for others to read. Mystic Journey guides readers to use their
life stories to solidify their identities, live with an eternal
perspective in mind, and reclaim a common spiritual heritage. You can

This month we'd like to announce a new title and our August Book of the Month, Mystic Journey: Getting to the Heart of Your Soul's Story, by Robert Atkinson. Mystic Journey is the exploration of who we are at our core and why we are deeply connected to all others on earth. Atkinson, an internationally recognized authority in helping people tell their life stories, explains how universal motifs, archetypes, and patterns tie us all together and emerge time and time again in individuals' life stories, to create one story that establishes who we are during life. Atkinson uses his extensive background in human development and religious studies to show how traditional archetypes and motifs, such as the hero story, shape our daily lives and develop within our own personal stories.

To read this magnificent study is to remember our original birthright and commit again to following the path that leads us home to who and what we really are."
