An Outlaw Makes It Home: The Awakening Of A Spiritual Revolutionary

An Outlaw Makes it Home: The Awakening of a Spiritual Revolutionary by Eli Jaxon-Bear is a candid, compelling and raucous spiritual adventure story, with an element of danger when he goes underground as a federal fugitive during the Vietnam War. This audacious memoir offers a powerful window into the making of a modern day spiritual revolutionary.In his search for freedom, Eli actively participated in many of the mile-stone events of the 60?s, leading him to his spiritual activism today. From underground revolutionary to spiritual awakening and his quest for a final teacher, he takes us with him to a monastery in Japan, an initiation into a Sufi clan in Marrakesh, and the uncharted outback of Peru. This fascinating page turner leads readers around the globe with Eli on his eighteen year spiritual quest. He eventually found a then largely unknown teacher in India now known as Papaji. He takes us with him as he vividly describes being a freshman in college joining the civil rights movement in Montgomery, Alabama ?during the violent protests that resulted in the Selma to Montgomery March. We are with him as he is beaten by KKK posse men and got to hear Dr. Martin Luther King preach his freedom sermon as they marched out of the church to demand one man/one vote. As horsemen with clubs cantered down the middle of the street, bearing down on his group, he thought, ?This is America. This is happening in America in 1965.? It forever changed his life.His experience in Montgomery led to his working for VISTA in the ghettos of Chicago and Detroit and his being arrested during the Democratic Convention in the summer of 1968. It was at this time that he first experienced LSD, and the life-changing quality of his inward journey took him beyond the boundaries of his known universe.
