Rebecca's Legacy: Embracing Ancestors As Your Mentors
This is not your typical self-help book. There are no quick fixes, no fast
answers and no single path to ultimate enlightenment. Dr. Rose, through her
own journey of spirituality, presents a unique perspective for women to
find meaning in our lives.
The book opens on the Cook Islands where we first Rebecca and are
introduced to the concept of 'ancestors'. According to Dr. Rose, ancestors
do not have to be blood relatives. Rather, ancestors are guiding spirits
available to us all. They are gentle advisors whose offer a connection to
our own spirituality and the Divine in all of us. Dr. Rose explains they
are "anything or anyone sent by God to show you how to lead a more
meaningful life".
Along with becoming aware of one's ancestors, "Rebecca's Legacy" discusses
the journey of spirituality based one four principles; 'Give birth to your
true self', 'Dream as big as you are', 'Face every challenge with
gratitude' and 'Show the way for those to follow'. Each principle is
presented in a combination of Dr. Rose's personal experiences, skill
building exercises and parables from many cultures.
The overall goal is for women to find and honor their true selves. Rather
than skating through life, Dr. Rose challenges women to live a life of
meaning. This entails allowing spirituality, rather than Ego, to be the
guiding force. Surrender of Will is necessary as "Nothing of value can be
controlled. Not birth, or love, or death. These forces humble you. They are
teachers...showing you what is worth keeping and what is not."
Because of the amount of material presented, as well as the exercises, this
is not a book to read once and put down. To fully appreciate the
subtleties, "Rebecca's Legacy" should be used a resource. A new gem will be
found with each reading.
