To Be and How to Be: Transforming Your Life through Sacred Theatre
Overview
I have always been able to employ in real life what I've learned in my theatrical training. Peggy Rubin has now made that process available to anybody who reads this book. It's very readable and I highly recommend it.—Ellen Burstyn, ActressPeggy Rubin is a master of theater and the art of becoming. Her book-- a masterpiece in every way-- will hold you spellbound as you discover the drama of your soul and the purpose of your life. The unique expression of your essence--the Divine theophany that you are--emerges almost magically as you read this clear, penetrating, and insightful book and work with the exceptional exercises. Brava, Peggy!—Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author ofYour Soul's CompassandA Woman's Journey to GodPeggy Rubin has written a wonderful book full of theater history and mystery. Her love of theater and wisdom about life brings the reader right onto the stage and into the essence of their own story and how they fit into the great drama of life. Bravo!—Michael Meade, author ofThe World Behind the World and The Water of LifeIf you are needing to clarify and manifest your life's purpose "To Be and How to Be" is a great guide. This profound book, filled with wisdom and compassionate understanding, offers you empowerment and the inspiration to live your true purpose in this incarnation. Learn through inquiry and practical exercies to be a fully awake sacred actor in the sacred theatre called life.—Judith Cornell, Ph.D. [Rajita Sivananda], award-winning author ofMandala: Luminous Symbols for Healing,Amma Healing the Heart of the WorldandDrawing the Light from WithinThere are times when something you read has the power to stop your life in its unconscious rush forward: this book does that, and then again and again, it coaxes something more genuine to take shape. To take seriously these often deceptively gentle instructions, to give them the real chance to do their great work, just may be to find oneself suddenly, and quite radiantly, at home in the moment. Read, in other words, only if prepared to loosen yourself from the tight grip of your old stories and know your birth-right: the vast stage is always arriving right under your feet.—Sensei Bonnie Myotai Treace, Gristmill Hermitage, founder of Hermitage Heart & Bodies of Water ZenFrom Sacred Theatre to sacralizing your life's story, Peggy Rubin takes you through an engaging and wonderful process that will expand your perspective in a myriad of ways and enrich your journey forever. We love this book.—Donna EdenandDavid Feinstein, authors ofEnergy MedicineEach of the arts offers models for the composing of lives, but, as Peggy Rubin demonstrates, theater perhaps most of all.
