The Barefoot Indian
The making of a messiahress
by Julia Heywood
Julia Heywood is a storyteller extraordinaire. And being part Cherokee, I know my storytellers. I was 1st introduced into metaphysical thought by Richard Bach via ‘Illusions; the story of a reluctant messiah’, and it has remained one of my all time favorites. ‘The Barefoot Indian’ is right up there on par with ‘Illusions’.
Taking the fictional form of a modern day job hunt, the author takes us through the processes of her heroine being hired & put through a rigorous ‘training’ for the position of Messiahress. I found I could not put the book down, once started. Every chapter is filled with subtle lessons on life that when contemplated, utterly astound you. And there is enough humor in the writing, to keep you smiling at the same time.
If I were to reprint the most moving parts of this book, I would have to include all 105 pages, so let me just share this one with you…
“1. Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.
2. You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
3. Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.”
That should whet your appetite for the gracious plenty that is in this book.
We all seek & find our ‘salvation’ in various ways. ‘The Barefoot Indian’ will enlighten you to the savior you already are.
