The Spiritual Wisdom of Kids

In this book, you will encounter the spiritual wisdom of 123 kids. Their words deserve consideration and contemplation; they are legitimate spiritual teachings that echo the great teachers of all traditions throughout history. In these pages, the classic themes of spiritual life are freshly painted and newly presented — themes of love and death, sanctity and reverence, peace and nonviolence, connection and oneness.

These kids speak from a place of natural and sacred connection to others, to animals, to Mother Earth — to life. They speak with an authority and a directness that are compelling. They speak of God, Love, Peace, and Healing.

Who are these kids? They are from 2 to 13 years of age, from diverse ethnic origins and backgrounds and economic strata. They will inherit the Earth, and in these pages they ask us to leave them a world of peace, purity, and prosperity. They also tell us how. We have much to learn from them.

After trekking overland to India, Robert met meditation master Swami Muktananda, with whom he studied for the next ten years.

Since 1985, Robert has been lecturing and leading Truth Talks throughout the country, mentoring professionals and corporate leaders, and designing spirit- and adventure-based retreats for executive teams and organizations.

He is the author of numerous books and articles, and was interviewed for "The Awakening West," a collection of conversations with contemporary spiritual teachers.
