Here, we delve into Bolen’s Japanese American heritage and some of the mystical moments that have been guideposts in her life, including a transformative moment as a Girl Scout in the mountains and sleeping under the stars. Early in her life, she experienced five different schools as her family moved to avoid internment camps during WWII. She thrived by being curious and friendly and learned resilience during the frequent school changes. She also spoke about her son Andy’s death and his posthumous communication with his father. Bolen emphasizes the importance of love, joy, and curiosity in life and the potential for spiritual support from the invisible realm of spirit. She encourages us to contribute our own unique gifts to our communities of influence and to recall our own life-enhancing mystical moments.
