Cosmic Cradle Stories

New Guidebook to find Daily Inspiration
Wisdom from every Cultural Perspective

The stories presented in Cosmic Cradle come from people throughout the ages who have realized that the life of the soul in a human body is only part of our experience in a multi-dimensional universe. These stories recall how and why they chose to be born to certain parents in order to grow from challenging experiences in life. Rather than being a burden, these painful events were seen as wonderful gifts, hidden opportunities, and life-enhancing lessons.

If you have ever wondered about the significance of the challenges in your life - a miscarriage, death of a child, emotional and physical abuse from parents - comfort and wisdom can be found in these stories which are scattered throughout Cosmic Cradle, especially in PART I, PART IV, and PART V.

This index will be especially useful to those who have read Cosmic Cradle and want to locate a story. If you are new to Cosmic Cradle, please read the selected stories that are highlighted on this page.
