Rosemary Altea, the internationally renowned medium and healer known to millions worldwide as "The Voice of the Spirit World," offered proof of life after death in The Eagle and the Rose. Proud Spirit (TM) takes readers further along the path, exploring opportunities for spiritual growth in everyday life. Rosemary's storytelling skills inspire us as she recounts the time Christ laid his hands atop her own as she gave healing. Her spine-tingling tales of being visited by a group of spirit-world children and invited to a midnight picnic in a haunted house add awe, mystery, and magic to her work. Profound spiritual truths emerge: the need to know, value, and be gentle with ourselves, to be proud spirits who always quest for self-worth and that which lies within. In her follow-up to The Eagle and the Rose , spiritual medium Rosemary Altea takes the reader farther along the path of her personal cosmology. In Proud Spirit a more sophisticated, mature Altea emerges, answering the questions that logically arise after reading her first book. Proud Spirit begins with a chapter entitled "What happens when we die" and explains how the living affect the dead's happiness and well-being. Do we reincarnate? Only if we choose, she assures us. Do souls heal emotionally and spiritually after they die? Some may, some may not, but Altea consoles the reader in dozens of tenderly compassionate stories about the lives and deaths of real people. If you enjoyed The Eagle and the Rose , you'll love traveling around the globe with the undaunted medium in Proud Spirit , mending the broken hearts of people she meets--living and dead--and sharing the insights and processes that helped heal her own grievous wounds. --P.
