Woobee’s Journey

Wonderful book for all ages. ~ Review by Gracekid33

It's not very often, you find a book that speaks on relationships between grandparents and grandchildren. This book did just that. It's honest, transparent and I found myself wrapped up in the story and the message it displayed. I also thought the illustration helped with the imagery wonderfully. Wonderful book for all ages.

Woobee’s Journey is about a boy’s journey from boyhood to manhood. It’s about the love of a grandmother, memories that never fade, prayers that never end and love that is passed on for a lifetime.

Book Description from http://www.antwinettescott.org/

Woobee, handmade with love, was gifted to Isaiah from his grandmother when he was a little boy. The rambunctious Isaiah took his Woobee wherever he went.

But, when Grandma passes away, Woobee becomes more than just a security blanket, but a lasting memory of Isaiah’s grandma. Torn and battered, Woobee has seen it all. What some may just throw away, Woobee instead evolves, giving Isaiah the comfort he misses from his grandma.

As Isaiah grows, Woobee transforms too – from a blanket, to a cape, a pillow, a tie – and finally to a little patch of a handkerchief. Married, with children and now grandchildren of his own, Isaiah promises to hand down Grandma’s tradition by stitching Woobees for his own children and grandchildren in order to pass down the legacy.

Woobee’s Journey, is a sweet tale of Grandma’s touch of love, tenderly sewn into a seemingly ordinary blanket; but not just any blanket. It’s Isaiah’s Woobee – a special blanket that keeps the memory of Grandma alive.

Such a relatable and honest tale, Woobee’s Journey reminds readers that loved ones are never forgotten. Woobee’s Journey is a considerable teaching tool for young children to know that the ones we’ve cherished and lost will forever remain in our hearts.

In this book you will discover the long history of nondualism, from its first roots in the Indian Upanishads to it's most modern-day proponents. If you are a person in a nondual tradition, this book is an invaluable companion on your journey.

Amazon Biography

Michael W. Taft is a serious student of evolution and the capacities of the human brain. A professional researcher and writer for more than two decades, Taft is fascinated by what neuroscience, biology, psychology, archeology, and technology can tell us about the human condition. Michael was formerly the editorial director of Sounds True publishing, and is a senior adviser to the Baumann Foundation. He lives in Berkley, California.

Michael is co-author of the book Ego: the Fall of the Twin Towers and the Rise of an Enlightened Humanity.

From the Introduction:

Nondualism is the philosophical and religious concept that all things are essentially one. It is called a philosophy of “identity” because it sees the entire universe, including any deity, as one unified whole. Although there appear to be a multiplicity of things in existence, any actual difference between them is illusory. Reality is not a multiplicity, in this view, but a singularity. Often in nondualism the apparent profusion of objects and beings in the universe is thought to be nothing other than a fantasy, and the only real thing is consciousness itself. Some, but not all, forms of nondualism include the idea of God, in which case God, creation, and the individual are seen to be identical. Nondualism has played a major role in the religions of Asia, such as Hinduism and Buddhism. It has also made some minor appearances in Western philosophies, but is an unpopular concept in the mainstream Abrahamic religions (i.e.—Judaism, Christianity, Islam).

Nondualism is the opposite (ha-ha) of a philosophy of “difference,” which sees reality as composed of many separate, individual parts, and usually a God who is also fundamentally separate from creation. Philosophies of difference, or dualism, are well known in the West: Christianity, Judaism, and to a large extent Islam are dualistic religions. The Abrahamic religions have had, here and there, a few philosophers and mystics that spoke of a nondual reality, but these have been few and far between.


India is unique in that it gave birth to several whole religions of pure identity (i.e. pure nondualism) – for example, Buddhist Madhyamika and Hindu Advaita Vedanta.

The essence of nondual philosophy could be roughly summed up as: there is no you, no world, no deity, and no reality apart from the One Thing, which is consciousness. Everything else is imaginary. In this book we’ll examine the long history of this interesting and powerful idea.

In writing this text, it is my hope that the many people in the West who are currently involved in a nondual tradition will gain a bit more understanding of the background of nondualism, and perhaps where their tradition fits into the greater picture.
