Readers are invited to witness the struggle within the mind of a simple seeker when her thinking is challenged by a formless intelligence. Letting Go is a personal study with Spirit (or my own unconscious mind?) concerning the struggle to release myself from the stress of holding on to people, places, things, and relationships that no longer seem to serve me well, if they ever did. I'm sure that I'm not alone in holding on, at almost any cost, to a past that may have been an illusion. Letting go itself may be an illusion, if there was nothing to hold on to, but an illusion, or a hope that it might become real, if we just hang in there. It's so stressful to play that game. If we can learn to just let it all be as it is, and accept that letting go doesn't make anything go away - we can learn to relax and enjoy what we can, and let everything else just be as it seems determined to be, anyway. Words of wisdom - Let it be.

"VISION QUEST" is a book recording the continual soul expansion of the seeker, Peter James Ford. Peter's journey began after a powerful spiritual experience in the little historic seaport in Newburyport, Massachusetts. In Peter's late night meditations which were along the Merrimac River, the boardwalk, the Salisbury Reservation on the Atlantic Ocean, Plum Island, Maudsley Estate State Park, Pow Wow Hill (Native American Burial Grounds) and Old Hill Burial Grounds he was having vivid explosions in his mind of 'seemingly' past life experiences and powerful insights. Peter began seeing the hidden secrets of this quaint little seaport that people never take the time to see. Peter's intuition and senses increased in an almost scary powerful way giving Peter wisdom from unseen sources. The source may be the Akashic Records/Library that is not a physical library but a place in the ethers that contains all the wisdom and knowledge ever known to anyone over the eons. We can access this power through ancient spiritual practices and apparently Peter has done just that. Stories and Tales began flowing from Peter and he wrote his first book. In the last three years Peter has written eight more books and shares everything he has found from his journeys to the inner worlds. Peter wrote a seven-book series under the title "MYSTICISM IN NEWBURYPORT" with an eighth bonus/companion book called "MYSTIC". Now you are holding his new writings in your hands. Peter laughingly calls himself "An Unlikely Messenger" as his younger years were nothing resembling anything spiritual. So, here is the story of just another seeker realizing his divinity and returning to his own heart...
