About this title

From the Publisher

Posing the question "Have you ever felt that 'something' was missing, that there has to be more?", this enlightening spiritual story guides readers to realize that the happiness they seek is inside themselves.

Originally self-published to critical acclaim, The Celestial Bar is the powerful story of Jonathan "Digger " Taylor, a man who -- like so many of us -- wanders from job to job, relationship to relationship, seeking the intangible "something" that is missing from his life. His spirited, but painful quest is offset by a dark predatory figure that haunts his dream and waking worlds.

Meditating before a crucial music audition, Digger takes refuge in The Celestial Bar, a way station for transitory souls. In this magical place, Digger meets a number of spiritual guides, including Paula, a beautiful waitress and soul mate to Digger. In the company of the wise inhabitants of this home-away-from-home, Digger begins to discover basic truths called Universal Principles: how simple changes in focus can powerfully shift our reality, that we are all beings of energy put on Earth to improve ourselves spiritually, and that we must balance the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual parts of ourselves in order to achieve true happiness.

Entertaining and insightful, The Celestial Bar will guide readers on a spiritual journey of self-discovery, taking them to the one place where the answers lie -- within themselves.
