Way of the Mystic is an autobiographical account of Judy O'Brien's seven year relationship with the unseen, yet ever-present being affectionately called Avatar. Their dialogues and the experiences that unfolded from them could best be thought of as a modern-day initiation into the mysteries of the intelligence of the universe.
Joseph Campbell has written, "It would not be too much to say that myth is the secret opening through which the inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human cultural manifestation." Ms O'Brien's MYSTIC is one of those rare stories in the genre of the new mythology, that presents a vision of a cosmos—alive and whole—that one can harmoniously participate with.
Way of the Mystic is the type of story that inspires and motivates at the deepest level. Reading it will be alchemical—the reader will begin to dream again of a world beyond separation and alienation, and he will find himself on the threshold of self-discovery and the re-genesis of a new civilization.
