Cats

“John A. Rush has created both a whimsical and deeply thought-provoking book about the mysterious creatures that humans refer to as cats. He thoughtfully explores the evolution of these highly intelligent psychic beings and their parallel journey with humans.” * Linda Star Wolf, Ph.D., author of Shamanic Breathwork *“John Rush writes about the diverse array of cat realms from a place of delightful passion and knowledge. One can never quite see cats the same way after reading this book. He weaves together mythology and science, history and spirituality, and cosmic and pop culture in order to aid the mass consciousness. Everyone who cares about drawing into complete harmony with the strength of a feline’s essence—or any living creature—should own a copy of Cats: Keepers of the Spirit World.” * Ruslana Remennikova, animal intuit, writer, and sound alchemist *“Shamanic shapeshifters of human consciousness—these wondrous four-legged demi-gods weave in and out of the astral plane influencing evolutionary growth on levels humans have yet to comprehend. Cats are the gatekeepers into our unconscious world, capable of entering into dimensions to impart magic and healing medicine in those spaces where wounds hide. They carry the secrets of the universe within their souls; lineages of many worlds rooted in tradition pass through them and onto their human caretakers. Their distinct meow is heard by every angel, as they walk through their existence embodying love and hope. They absorb darkness so that our light can shine over and over again and ask for nothing in return. May we honor them with the respect they truly deserve.” * Laura Aversano, author of Affirmations of the Light in Times of Darkness *
