A Magnificent Obsession
My Lifelong Search for the Meaning of a Mystical Call
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Perhaps every soul enters the world knowing that it is unalterably corded to an invisible world, but in adapting to physical form, forgets. And perhaps the entire life span is a process of remembering and forgetting until one is seized by an experience in which the veil is momentarily lifted—and that which was once easily forgotten is sufficiently vivid that it locks into memory.
The book that you have in your hands speaks to such an event, a moment in time in which the great, ever-present Mystery shows itself in the form of a mystical call. The mystical call beckons us to awaken to the real story of existence: our invisible bond to this larger reality and our personal destiny, which is imprinted on the soul.
When such an event occurs, even if only fleetingly, our longing is satisfied and we step into a place and know home. Here, the veil of quotidian reality is temporarily lifted and we encounter the infinite, even as we cannot sustain this level of consciousness at this point in the evolution of our species. The cosmos is too vast, our nervous systems are too undeveloped, and our cognition too unformed to have more than a glimpse of such expansive reality.
This is the light that is seen—and once seen, changes everything. While the nature of mysticism is essentially immeasurable and inexpressible in everyday language, it is hoped that Magnificent Obsession will provide a deeper understanding of a particular type of mystical experience, that which is marked by a spiritual encounter, resulting in a specific life assignment.

About the Book
Perhaps every soul enters the world knowing that it is unalterably corded to an invisible realm, but in adapting to physical form, forgets—until the veil is momentarily lifted and reveals a mystical call that beckons us to awaken to the real story of existence: our unseen bond to this larger reality and the personal destiny imprinted on the soul.
In a deeply personal and probing exploration of communications with the spiritual world, Dr. Danielle Green relies on personal experiences gained from her own messages as well as findings from over thirty years of research and documentation of mystical calls to carefully examine messages from beyond and guide others to understanding their own communications with the invisible realm. Dr. Green explores what it means to receive a mystical call, how one follows or refuses the call, and how such experiences impact one’s perceptions, beliefs, attitudes, physiology, and ultimately destiny.
A Magnificent Obsession is the most documented report of mystical calls from around the world, and offers a historical, religious/spiritual, evolutionary, and psychological perspective to understand this life—determining phenomenon.
