Acclaim for Silence and the Soul

"This adventure in consciousness unfolds as part memoir, part instruction manual, and serves as a parable on the road to a richly cultivated inner life. Though the story is uniquely their own, there are elements of commonality for any seeker. The couple's self honestly and insightfulness are exemplary, particularly Miller's in-depth transcriptions of conversations with her inner teacher."
-NAPRA Review

"How can we create our lives consciously and from the inside out? This book provides a living model for anyone who wishes to evolve a larger, more self-created life. We learn from their example how to enter into a cooperative partnership with the deepest expression of our being."
-Pierre Delattre, author of Tales of a Dalai Lama, Walking on Air and Woman on the Cross

"...inspiring and useful -- a rare combination. An intensely honest and personal accounting of amazing meetings with Truth. The authors leave us with the miraculous possibility of enlightening ourselves each moment to the unspeakable wonder and beauty of who and what we are."
-Mary-Margaret Moore, author of I come as a Brother and Reflections of an Elder Brother

"What is the inner world that great spiritual teachers speak of? How do we enter this world consciously? How do we hear the still, quiet voice within? Ellen Miller and Gary Sherman risked everything, leaving behind a successful business, their family and friends, to explore the mysteries of their inner world. With these writings they share their adventure in spiritual development, one that benefits us all."
-Hal Zina Bennett, Ph.D., author of Write From the Heart: Unleashing the Power of Your Creativity

"An extraordinary true story of seeking and finding inner wisdom that reads like an adventure story!""
-Judy Tatelbaum, author of The Courage to Grieve

About Silence and the Soul

One Couple's Journey of Spiritual Self-Discovery
A True Story of Our Deepest Human Potential

Among the many books dealing with spiritual growth, "Silence and the Soul" distinguishes itself as one of the best about the process of awakening inner wisdom. This unexpected page-turner reads like an adventure story. Part memoir and part instruction manual, this self-revealing and emotionally honest narrative is the true story of Ellen Miller and Gary Sherman, an otherwise ordinary, middle-aged, California couple. On page one, Miller, age 45, is hospitalized with a rare, incurable disease. Driven by curiosity and the simple belief that within each of us lies a source of wisdom, love and creative energy, the authors embark on a captivating and extraordinary excursion into expanded consciousness that ultimately takes them on a spiritual journey deep within themselves.

Theirs is an account of a mutual awakening: a cooperative relationship between two people and an inner teacher. This source engages them in "The Conscious Evolution of Consciousness," a process of training and teaching that transforms their lives and opens extraordinary capacities of expanded perception.

This is a rare telling, from the inside out. Like a good documentary film, the book takes us on a voyage through the internal landscape of their step-by-step process. Reminiscent of the works of Jane Roberts and Carlos Castaneda, "Silence and the Soul" is a decidedly unselfconscious attempt to reveal Miller and Sherman's internal experience.

Interwoven throughout the chapters are insights and practices for unleashing inner creativity. There are dozens of examples and techniques for evolving and utilizing this creative energy in all aspects of daily life. Miller and Sherman have written a book that is accessible to spiritually sophisticated readers as well as to those who are unfamiliar with metaphysical literature.

Readers' Comments on Silence and the Soul

"This beautifully written book tells the story of one 'ordinary' person's journey towards discovering her relationship with Guidance and Wisdom. Silence and the Soul not only helped me to more fully recognize that I too am capable of creating my own sacred relationship with non-physical teachers; it also gave me the tools to begin now."

"Reading Silence and the Soul has reminded me that the path toward spirit is a process with many steps, missteps, and seeming detours along the way. This also holds true in personal relationship and I appreciate the author's sharing the nitty-gritty of their deeply spiritual relationship; an inspiration to all of us who struggle in these areas."

"Very quickly what was a story about you became about me: an opportunity to deepen the connection with my own inner teacher and my deeper essence. From that turning point, the whole book was addressed to me and each learning experience you were going through became mine. It opened a door within myself, allowing the inner teacher to be revealed and heard differently than before."
    -Martine Dupuch, Energy Yoga Teacher and Silk Painter
    Paris, France
