The Man From Autumn: A Psychological Teaching Novel - Paperback

by Mario E. Martinez (Author)

The Man From Autumn is a navigational mindscape for the private journey of Self, concealed in a psychological novel. My intention is to take the reader on a path that explores a non-linear world of meaningful coincidences and other mystical experiences, where joy is the rule and anguish the exception. The imagery this work can elicit, transforms a mundane existence of the known into portals of discovery that affirm love, health, and longevity, as our inherent rights rescued from a dimension of fear.The Man From Autumn, however, is not an esoteric book for highly trained professionals. While brimming with fascinating concepts, it is an eminently readable book that will be enjoyed by all who are on a personal journey. Written as a novel, the author introduces characters so real that one can visualize lines of their faces and the drape of their clothing. Through the protagonists, Enrique, Breogán and others, one can smell the food, taste the wine, and hear the music as the scenes move from Miami to Galicia to the Vatican and the Highlands of Scotland. As you read, you will be introduced to fascinating concepts such as the phenomenon of stigmata, wherein certain devout individuals manifest the wounds of Christ's crucifixion, the concepts of archetypical memories and synchronicity from Jungian psychology, inclusive compassion from Tibetan Buddhist psychology, and more. The scope and breadth of the topics introduced and clearly explained by Dr. Martinez, reflect his broad training and study in mindbody science and mysticism, areas which he finds complementary rather than contradictory.The Man From Autumn is a wise guide that points the reader to a joyful life. The author shows how we can free ourselves from culturally imposed beliefs that rob us of joy and keep us from having lives of abundance. For example, you learn how to set "benign boundaries" to let people know what and who you really are, rather than who and what you have been complying to be. This allows you to "co-author" joy together without acquiescing to others and silently resenting your suppressed beliefs. This is a paradigm shifting book that will help you grow from your inner wisdom as you discover the mystical world that awaits beyond your doorstep.
