Now let’s leap forward to our distinctive, new, information — the main purpose of this article.

Enter into Authors’ Experience . . . And Empower Yourself

With our new skill set, you’ll use your imagination to learn about any author you choose. This is a brand new method from Energy Spirituality, a skill that can wake you up even more spiritually.

Completely different from academic study. Quite a complement to doing that, actually. Since you can use this skill to gain insight into any author for whom a photo’s available.

So you can’t use it on Socrates or Plato, but you sure can use this skill on plenty of other authors. This is a new way to learn about any published writer. For samples, check out comments at our Part 1, Enter into Authors’ Voice. So insightful, so human!

And guess what?

In Order to Use this Skill, Surprise!

You won’t be going deep inside. Nor will you cocreating with the Divine. (At least unless, like some of you readers, you happen to be living in Age of Awakening Enlightenment. In which case you’re always cocreating with the Divine, in the background. More about that toward the end of this post.)

Right on the surface you’ll stay. Reacting like your normal self. Maybe even as if you were doing some cordial gossip about the author whose voice you’re recognizing. Very human, very freeing!

Tuition to Learn this Skill Is Free-Free-Free

If you haven’t already done so, read last Monday’s Part 1. Enter into Authors’ Voices. That main blogpost will give you the basics.

Strongly recommended, then go on to research at least one of the three authors there. Even better: Turn your experience into a comment at that blogpost. Either way . . . .

After reading the how-to’s in that earlier article, you’ll be prepared to research the four new authors from today’s article. And what a diverse group they are!

Yes, COMMENTING can be part of the fun for you. Already you may know that this blog is designed to be interactive. Energy Spirituality® aims to help people like you to grow emotionally and awaken spirituality. Using skills that work now, in the Age of Awakening.

Those who contribute most, by commenting, gain most. No doubt about it.

Have Fun, and Grow Extra, from What Follows Here Today

Definitely, You Can Do This Fun Exploration

You can do this mindblowing procedure for entering into authors’ voices. But why?

Because you, like every human alive — you have a built-in Door of Perception for deeper perception. One full door. That’s no more, and no less, than any other human being receives in life.

Allow yourself to use your full Door of Perception. Then you’ll receive the most from a book.

And from any social relationship, too. You stand to gain a lot by using Enter into Authors’ Voices to wake up your own personal Door of Perception.

It so happens that when you Enter into Authors’ Voices, you free up your imagination. You also start to use what is naturally yours, your full Door of Perception.

Next, Here Comes a Fair Question

Before we go into writers’ voices today, maybe you wonder. What is Rose Rosetree’s standing to share ideas about all this?

1. For starters, I cocreated the system of Aura Reading Through All Your Senses.
2. Teaching it internationally, too, and selling that book internationally. [foreign rights]
3. Doing that, guess what I found?
4. Although 12 different gifts for deeper perception are available to each one of us, guess what? Probably you don’t have them all on your own personal Door of Perception. What matters more? You have exactly what you need: Lifelong gifts for aura reading fill up your personal Door of Perception.

So rest assured, you have a full Door of Perception. But which gifts do you have? The answer to that is deeply personal. Hardwired into you, akin to how sensitive you are going to be for the rest of your life.

Although you can succeed at today’s skill without knowing for sure what you have built into your Door of Perception, some of you may be curious. Well, you can learn more about that through taking our Aura Reading Collection of online workshops.

Alternatively you could book a personal session for mentoring on this very topic. One session can help you to learn the basics about your personal gifts for deeper perception.

Here You Go Now, Step by Step

You, Sure! Exploring Voices of Four More Authors

When you take this Imagination Ride with one or more of these authors, what will you do? Summing up:

1. You will read the quotation from that author out loud.
2. Next, you’ll Walk a Short Distance. Then return. Comment at the blog, or on your own. What are your thoughts about that author?
3. Notice Physical Sensations and More. Then comment at the blog, or on your own. What are your new thoughts about that author?
4. Notice Colors and Shapes and More. Then comment at the blog, or on your own. What are your new thoughts about that author?

That easy, that freeing for you: And yes, all along you’re allowed to use your imagination. Nice and shallow. Playful!

Meet a Great Storyteller Who Happens to Be Famous

Nina Totenberg is the Author of “Dinners with Ruth.”

Nina handles fame easily. Her father was a renowned violinist. She wound up working for National Public Radio, one of its Founding Mothers. In this memoir, she brings insight into her friend Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the Supreme Court Justice. Also, Nina’s own life comes alive.

Here’s your quotation to use for Enter into Authors’ Voices, learning about Nina Totenberg. Please read this aloud:

In my career, I have been blessed to cover fascinating newsmakers and vital issues, and to break some big stories, but what resonates now are the extraordinary people I have come to know, and whom I have been able to call my friends.

My life story is interwoven with them and has been infinitely richer for them.

These pages are the stories of friends, my love letter to my friends, and ultimately the story of friendship with one very special woman. For nearly fifty years, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and I built our friendship.

As with my other friendships, what we built made our lives immeasurably richer.

A Social Transformer’s Voice

Maya Angelou has written many memoirs. She has written-and-read some magnificent poetry. A true wise woman, some of her sayings have elevated popular culture.

Such as: First best is falling in love. Second best is being in love. Least best is falling out of love. But any of it is better than never having been in love.

Our quotation today comes from her first memoir: “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.”

Please read this aloud:

What you looking at me for . . . ?

The children’s section of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church was wiggling and giggling over my well-known forgetfulness.

The dress I wore was lavender taffeta, and each time I breathed it rustled, and now that I was sucking in air to breathe out shame it sounded like crepe paper on the back of hearses.

1. Next, you’ll Walk a Short Distance. Then return. Comment at the blog, or just note your ideas on your own. What are your thoughts about that author?
2. Notice Physical Sensations and More. Then comment at the blog, or just note your ideas on your own. What are your new thoughts about that author?
3. Notice Colors and Shapes and More. Then comment at the blog, or just note your ideas on your own. What are your own personal thoughts about that author?

A Champion of American Democracy

Sonia Sotomayor is the first Wise Latina on the U.S. Supreme Court. During an era when conservative justices had a supermajority on the Supreme Court, Justice Sotomayor has offered scathing dissents. Scathing opinions from her have been written with High Truth Value.

Her memoir, “My Beloved World” has inspired me. It’s one of my very favorite memoirs ever.

Please read this quotation aloud:

But experience has taught me that you cannot value dreams according to the odds of their coming true. Their real value is in stirring within us the will to aspire. That will, wherever it finally leads, does at least move you forward. And after a time you may recognize that the proper measure of success is not how much you’ve closed the distance to some far-off goal but the quality of what you’ve done today.

1. Next, you’ll Walk a Short Distance. Then return. Comment at the blog, or just note your ideas on your own. What are your thoughts about that author?
2. Notice Physical Sensations and More. Then comment at the blog, or just note your ideas on your own. What are your new thoughts about that author?

An Audience Pleaser’s Voice

Ari Shapiro is so gosh darned affable. He has had a stellar career at National Public Radio, and also performed. Clearly he loves performing, something you’ll learn a great deal about by reading his memoir, “The Best Strangers in the World: Stories from a Life Spent Listening”.

Please read this quotation aloud:

I remembered that a live audience does provide some qualities a radio broadcast lacks. There is a moment that everybody shares, together in one place. An experience that will never exist again in quite that way. Everybody breathes the same air molecules for a brief stretch of time.

There’s an audible reaction as you walk the high wire and nail the performance, or tumble off the tightrope and try to climb back on and salvage your dignity.

I love how intimate and personal radio can be; those qualities appeal to my instinct to connect. But I also love how communal live performance is; that appeals to my instinct to form a collective.

1. Next, you’ll Walk a Short Distance. Then return. Comment at the blog, or just note your ideas on your own. What are your thoughts about that author?
2. Notice Physical Sensations and More. Then comment at the blog, or just note your ideas on your own. What are your new thoughts about that author?
3. Notice Colors and Shapes and More. Then comment at the blog, or just note your ideas on your own. What are your new thoughts about that author?

Well done, Readers. Special praise to you who have given yourself the opportunity to explore in this new way. Enter into Authors’ Voices.

Some of these Authors Have a Cocreating Voice

What does that mean, the aspect of writing that I call a Cocreating Voice?

Usually this is a feature of writing when the author is in Spiritual Enlightenment. Automatically that individual cocreates with the Divine because that is the nature of living in Age of Awakening Enlightenment.

Likewise this happens if the person is living in Traditional Enlightenment. Yogananda exemplifies this. For reference, see our first article on Enter into Authors’ Voices.

In addition, a writer can develop special skills, like several different Energy Spirituality techniques for cocreating with God.

According to consciousness lifestyle research I’ve done, the following authors have a Cocreating Voice due to living in Age of Awakening Enlightenment.

• Nina Totenberg
• Sonia Sotomayor
• And also your own personal blogger here, Rose Rosetree.

Otherwise? Do Cocreating Voices Make an Author Popular?

For so many reasons, a memoir might be popular. Often that memoir is humanly sourced, and the shallower the better.

In my opinion, the following bestsellers are clearly related to the author’s fame karma. They appeal to a wide-and-shallow view of life.

• “Spare” by Prince Harry
• “The Woman in Me” by Britney Spears
• “Thicker than Water”: A Memoir by Kerry Washington

As for Ari Shapiro, in my opinion, his work is humanly sourced. Born of his love of crowd-pleasing, valuing whatever will make him popular. Differently put, he has developed a foolproof affability, always reaching for shallow-and-wide, not deep.

In Conclusion

Thanks, everyone, for reading. For those of you who contribute your research in comments below, in advance, extra thanks. Here are some takeaway questions for you:

1. Suppose that author is an unskilled empath and writes while doing an unskilled empath merge with somebody who’s very spiritual. Could that result in writing in a Cocreating Voice?
2. If an author is a Skilled Empath, will an author automatically write in a Cocreating Voice?
3. What if somebody is very religious, like C.S. Lewis and Thomas Merton? Will they naturally write in a Cocreating Voice? (Lewis and Merton were discussed in our earlier article that introduced the skill to Enter into Authors’ Voices. )
4. Would an Evangelical automatically write in a Cocreating Voice? Due to that person’s “superior” knowledge of God.
5. By contrast, what might you find in the literary voice of an EXvangelical. Given how much such an author has learned about connecting more authentically to God, like the brilliant-and-courageous memoirist Sarah McCammon? Do you think EXvangelicals are going to automatically write in a Cocreating Voice?

Rose Rosetree is the author of “Bigger than All the Night Sky,” 2nd edition. She has given over 1,000 media interviews. Also, 44 authorized foreign editions of her books have been sold. And she is the founder of Energy Spirituality, a growing resource for personal growth and spiritual awakening.

Rose Rosetree adds, “If you’ve enjoyed this article, please share it. And consider FOLLOWING me here on Medium. I’d appreciate it.”
