You鈥檙e invited to join Courtenay author David F. Buckland for the launch of a new book, Our Natural Potential: Beyond Personal Development, The Stages of Enlightenment.

There will be a short talk and book signing at the Courtenay Library, Oct. 11, at 6 p.m.

We are in a time of unprecedented numbers of people having profound shifts in their sense of self and the world. Like Eckhart Tolle before them, many have no background to support this or are unfolding in unexpected ways. Also, a growing number of scientists have begun to explore this field but lack a robust model.

What鈥檚 missing is a broader understanding of the underlying process, a vision of our potential, and the major variations in experience. Our Natural Potential tackles the issue by proposing a framework of seven stages of enlightenment based on ancient descriptions. These are brought into modern language and tested against the experience of many people going through these transformations. This includes residents of the Comox Valley.

This event was made possible by the Vancouver Island Regional Library and the Comox Valley Writers Society. For more info visit davidya.ca
