RELIGION/SPIRITUALITY FOOTPRINTS IN STARDUST - SOULPRINTS IN TIME FOOTPRINTS IN STARDUST Ever-increasing knowledge of our past enhanced by our inherent spiritual nature is shattering the boundaries we have so glibly set up around ourselves over many centuries of blind prejudices. • Are we really ‘gods’ – as scriptures say we are? • Do we frequently interact with angels, without even realising it? • Are the ‘gods’ of old still living among us, in human form – trying to “get it right” this time? • Are we unwittingly the stakes in a cosmic scuffle for the ownership of our unique blend of body / mind / spirit? • Is the evolution of life in the cosmos, linked to, and affected by human evolution on Earth? • Did Planet Earth always occupy its present orbit? • Is the Human Mind, the key that eventually will let us into our Celestial Home? • Were the ‘gods’ of the ancients merely instruments of our Heavenly Father – “The Creator of All”? • How real is time? The answers to these questions lead to the discovery that EACH ONE of us possesses the very real potential to change our world. Truly the POWER OF ONE! Yes, it appears that the ‘gods’ still walk among men… The late 60’s and early 70’s saw me publish several articles in the English language ‘MIRROR’ magazine, in India. These non-fiction articles were of the psychic and similar genre. Through them, I had the privilege of meeting some very extraordinary people. Some of them live again within the pages of this book. It has taken many years of reading – learning – from many wonderful people and ‘knowing’ that there’s more to life than the usual daily grind. The ‘knowing’ became a stirring, which eventually led to that irresistible compulsion to put it all together, in one book. Born in India in 1941 of mixed parentage, the eldest of 11 children; from very early childhood, I would look up to the starry sky and feel sort of homesick. While just 6 years old, I pinched my grandmother’s bifocals, and built my first crude telescope. When asked what I wished to be when I grew up, I remember saying, “A scientust”. I was quite young then, I think I meant to say, “A scientist“. But now, I believe that was an inspired answer, to learn about the universe we do indeed have to Peter A. Shafton combine science and spirituality. A professional electronics engineer, believing in, and writing on subjects like these could, I suppose be called a “scientust” - among other things. Growing up in South India (Madras) through the 50’s and 60’s exposed one to a lot of spiritual activity. Hindu, Muslim and Christian spiritualists were very active, in those parts, during those days. This set my mind travelling along the psychic and occult pathways, finally leading me to the works of Edgar Cayce, Ruth Montgomery, and scores of others. My Christian roots, coupled with Hindu and Muslim environmental exposure turned out to be a very fertile soil for the works of Cayce and Montgomery to bear fruit. Looking back, it was this beginning that set the framework for these pages. U.S. $XX.XX There was just a touch of fear in his step; an apprehension she was trying to allay. “A little closer now”, she gently coaxed. He tiptoed slowly to the daunting edge… Just a little nudge, was all he needed; to send him soaring, high into the sky. ‘One Small Step’ soon led to new horizons, far from the memory, of that distant ledge.

FOOTPRINTS in STARDUST – SOULPRINTS in TIME THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO: My beautiful wife Sylvia, who stood by us through all these years. Without her care and tireless support, this book would not have become a reality. Our three magnificent boys Shane, Wayne and Michael, who have helped with the material in this book, and who are living reminders that God still cares for this planet. Our parents who placed us on the right track early on, opening our eyes to the reality of the spiritual world. Especially Cynthia, my mother, whose timely intervention late one night many years ago, probably saved me from an untimely end at the hands of “Those who walk at night”… But, that’s another story… And to all those millions of “Children of Light”, young, and not so young, who carry that restless burning within them - that longing - to become one again with our God, and return once more to our home among the stars. i .
