An Outlaw Makes It Home: The Awakening of a Spiritual Revolutionary Can drugs, sex and revolution lead to lasting fulfillment and love? This memoir by Eli Jaxon-Bear, framed as a teaching story, using Joseph Campbell's model of the hero journey, answers this question in an exciting, funny and deeply personal memoir. From being attacked by possemen on a civil rights march in Alabama to becoming a federal fugitive in a cabin in Colorado, Jaxon-Bear's life then leads us to the uncharted Andes, a Zen Monastery in Japan and a Sufi initiation in Morocco. We are taken on a roller coaster adventure of discovery in the search for freedom and finally finding true love and fullfilment. We see the tests and challenges that confront all of us as we navigate through life in the search for happiness. Peter Coyote wrote, An Outlaw Makes It Home, bares it all. An often laugh-out-loud, but always playing-for-keeps quest for spiritual wisdom and enlightenment, it unfolds in rapid fire short bursts of improbable adventure, with a startling turn in the heartwarming discovery after an eighteen year search. Jaxon-Bear does not spare himself or try to polish his flaws and mistakes: in that regard, he is a warrior. I consumed this book in huge gulps and would do it again. I urge others to read it.
Autorenporträt
At the First International Enneagram Conference at Stanford University in 1992 Jaxon-Bear presented a radically new model of the structure of the soul and psyche based on The Enneagram of Liberation. By joining self-inquiry with his map of ego fixation he has presented a model for universal self-realization. Linking this teaching with Pythagorus, he found the mystery school that he was searching for for over forty years. In 2005 he founded the Leela School of Awakening operating in Sydney, Australia, Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Ashland, Oregon in the US. He continues to lead retreats around the world.. He has been living with his partner and wife since 1976. They currently reside in Ashland, Oregon. Eli meets people and teaches through the Leela Foundation www.leela.org, and The Leela School of Awakening www.leelaschool.org
