Overview

The gift we have been given is the one called possibility, whose intent offers to tie all together, creating strands of a whole life rather than a disintegrated one.

With these words, Carla Woody sets the stage in this ground-breaking guide toward leading a rich, authentic life. This remarkable book not only offers means to engage with the more confounding encounters and paradoxical nature of the spiritual path, it suggests profound questions that accelerate growth.

Poetically relating mesmerizing stories and teachings, Woody incorporates her own many years' esoteric adventures with mystic Don Américo Yábar, her intensive work with others and the learning gained through the balance of community and solitude.

Navigating through such diverse geography as energy awareness, bliss states, dark nights and the challenges of everyday living, she presents ways to integrate the compassion of the heart with the clarity of a mind made wise. In this honest, explicit accounting, the committed spiritual traveler is empowered to develop their own capabilities toward nurturing a direct relationship with the Core Self—and the Divine Presence that permeates everything.

Editorial Reviews

Jacquelyn Small
Carla’s easy, honest style of sharing spins us through this human story of a willingness to be fully human—the most sacred act we can ever achieve while being here on earth. She opens her heart to us page after page so that we, in turn, can experience feeling that wondrous gift of being wholeheartedly alive—in every moment—no matter what!

The Core Self is the heart of every true religion and spiritual practice. Carla Woody teaches us to soar to new heights of consciousness and open magical portals into our Core Selves. Miraculously, she also addresses terrorism, environmental destruction, medical dilemmas, and other modern issues that distract so many of us from following our true paths. Standing Stark is a magnificent adventure, as well as a fascinating read!

    A Path Worth Following

    In Standing Stark, Carla Woody's second book, it is clear that Carla not only talks the talk of her spiritual path, but she walks it by living her truth and embracing the adventure of the great mystery. Her path demonstrates how she has learned from masters of the ancient ways by following the inner and outer paths she has walked leading her to the true master that resides in each one of us.
