Summary: Lessons Learned From Lions!
Review: The lion has long been regarded by many peoples of the world as a highly symbolic and spiritual animal. Indeed, we see many powerful and positive attributes in the lion. Many even see a little bit of God in the lion! (I certainly do.) As a result, the lion is found everywhere in our cultral symbolism. But, imagine now being with real lions-- lions who you called friends and soulmates , and whom you lived with in the wild. From this experience Gareth Patterson has seen that the spiritual nature of lions goes far beyond symbolism. Lions have much to teach us that will make us kinder, gentler, yet stronger and and more courageous, but at the same time more balanced and loving humans. Lions even have things to teach us about eternity and the afterlife. If you are willing to spend some quality time pondering the things that make lions lions, yu can start to adopt these positive principles into your own life. Although this book approaches these learning exercises from a meditative standpoint, they are easily adapted to what ever religious worldview you may hold. As a lion lover of many years, I quickly learned that I was already discovering these principles and was beginning to apply them even before I had read this book. So, if you want to really experience the gentle, powerful, beautiful truths that have been till now the domain of the King of Beasts, find yourself a quiet spot and curl up with this book!
