Autobiography
Soul Sounds
...autobiographical work of Mary Summer Rain.
Soul Sounds: Mourning the Tears of Truth
Amazon Price: $2.75 (as of 06/02/2012)
"In the spring of 1991 I thought it might be wise to write down the events of my life. I wanted to have a personal record to review when I became very old and too forgetful of mind to remember. This was to be the recording of my private soul sounds that nobody else would ever hear. But it was not to be. I've been advised, by reasons spoken and unspoken, to have this very private diary published. This idea was not sanctioned by me until the very last possible moment because I'd thought no one else was going to be reading my words, and I'd written as honestly and outspokenly as I could throughout the journal pages. I'd recorded my personal thoughts, memories and even confessions. In essence, this journal does indeed turn me inside out in respect to revealing my true thoughts and inner self to the public. But, as always, I abide by how I am guided; whether I will end up being chastised, ridiculed, embarrassed or exposed because of the publication of this book is not important anymore. So then, dear friends, I give you my total inner being. I now bring my private soul sounds to your ears, I give you..." - Mary Summer Rain

Spirit Song: The Introduction of No-Eyes
Amazon Price: $8.77 (as of 06/02/2012)
Review
No Eyes, a blind Chippewa visionary living in a remote Colorado area and Many Heart, a dreamwalker, are the teachers in this profound journey through the spirit world for Summer Rain. In the Ancient oral tradition they guide the novice along the true path to understanding of who she is and her place in the continuing life of their people. This is a wonderful look at the way knowledge has been passed from generation to generation with strong emphasis on what is good and what might trick the spirituality-seeking novice into taking a wrong path. Positive life is strengthened by the knowledge of the shaman, natural medicine, awareness of Mother Earth and the putting aside the unnecessary quest for things that don't matter, in order to enrich your soul. - From Independent Publisher
Product Description
The first volume in a series of books written by Rain about her experiences with an extraordinary Native American shaman called No-Eyes, this book has become one of the bestselling and most important books in the literature and philosophy of what has been called the new age.

Amanda in case you do not recieve a reply to your question may I give you my advice. You like all of us are all born with an animal guide. We then look for the eight as we start with one animal and then can work up to nine all together. They come from: North, South, East, West, Above, Below and Within.
I can help you find your guide you are born with if you will write to me at: redhawk74467@yahoo.com and tell me your birth day and month only.

Reading Mary Summer Rain's books has settled my mind. Now I know that I am not crazy. Like Mary there is much that I have always known and been aware of. It took a teacher like No Eyes to show the proper way to use the gifts. I have many more of Mary's books to read and I know that there is much to learn from all of them. Take special note of "Phoenix Rising," it will most helpful in the coming years.
Live in love,

To me it doesn't even matter what Mary Summer Rain's background is. Her books woke me up to new things 15 year ago. I hope she's in good health and that she's safe. I don't even care if she's someone else.. then all that means is that someone else gave me something I didn't have before I read the books and sought out different sources. It was no accident for me to find this book in an old retirement home many yrs ago and read it on my break and then realized that our planet is trying to tell us something about us all. I want to hear more. It's OK to have an imagination and I respect these books. So many things in these books have come true.. it's led me down my own path of discovery. Get from it what you want. You should always be cautious but don't be so cynical that you don't hear the message.

[in reply to Nakai Nez] - I looked at all your links and didn't see any acutal proofs. On most of the sites I couldn't even find a mention of Mary Summer Rain's name. I understand that Native Americans want to keep their culture pure of fakes. But I don't know how anyone can say that there's proof of her experiences being faked. We were not there and cannot judge another's experience.
My opinion is that if you want to believe it is fake, then fine, go ahead. But why waste your precious life energy trying to say something is proven fake that cannot be proven fake because we cannot judge another's experience? If you think it is fake then avoid it and go climb your own spiritual mountains.
When you spend a lot of time trying to say someone else is a fraud you're really robbing yourself of precious life energy you could have been using to further your own spiritual path.
If you have any real proof, I'll be happy to view it. But honestly I didn't see any proof at the links you left.

A friend from the new age world suggested I read the Mary Summer Rain books. I have read Spirit Song, and Phoenix Rising. I have been taken by her words so much that I ordered 6 more of her books. It feels as if she is talking directly to me in these books. It is so hard for me to put them down. I wish I could have met her. (in person) I have Native American in my ancestry, Cherokee and Sioux. I have also been told that I was an Indian woman in a past life, and that was the last time I saw my true soul mate. Apparently, I watched him go off to war in a canoe, and that was the last time I saw him. I was kneeling at a body of water and just watched. I can really "feel" that to be truth, and I have ALWAYS had a strong connection to the Native Americans. In all of the cowboy/Indian movies, I always empathisized with the Native Americans. I love how Mary Summer Rain has made me re-appreciate nature. I cannot get enough of Mary Summer Rain. You have touched so many. Thank you.

The exact line that I remember is "the people no be so dumb no more". Is thias correct? Does anybody have the page number from Spirit Song or do I have the book wrong? It has been many years since I read it and I just can't recall the words. perhaps memorizing the book title and page number would have helped.

June, sorry you didn't have the opportunity to meet her when she lived near you. I just read something in Spirit Song that might explain why. Near the end she was discussing plans for meetings of the Mountain Brotherhood and Mary told No-Eyes that she didn't want to have people coming to her all the time. I got the impression that she was somewhat reclusive and wanted to protect herself and her family from being with the public too much. No-Eyes convinced her that she could open her home twice monthly so people who really wanted her information could approach her. She and her husband seemed comfortable with that. I don't know if the Mountain Brotherhood applied to the time she lived near you. I'm sure she's been through a lot since Spirit Song was written... that was so many years ago.

Eclipse
...by Mary Summer Rain.
Eclipse
Amazon Price: $2.84 (as of 06/02/2012)
From the back cover
Having received thousands of letters over the years since the release of her question-and-answer book Daybreak, it became clear to Mary Summer Rain that there were still far too many unanswered questions in the minds of her readers. And during those years, to, her own knowledge and spiritual philosophy evolved into one of great scope and depth. In books such as "The Visitation" and "Fireside", she provided tantalizing glimpses of that natural evolution of thought.
Eclipse is in many way an attempt to honor readers' concerns and ongoing personal question on life and spirituality, which are usually prompted by their desire to figure out how the universe works, and how they may individually apply universal truths in their own lives. Eclipse addresses a vast array of subjects -- from the feminine principle to sexuality, from Starborn matters to the interconnectedness of all living things as manifested through the Great Web of Life, from the feminine aspects of the Divine Trinity to the spiritual ills of modern society. Mary doesn't claim to have all the answers, and her answers are not always what you'd expect.
In Eclipse, Mary responds to many common and uncommon questions, in the inimitable, straightforward, no-nonsense, and sometimes even exasperated (but always patient) fashion that has been her trademark. What emerges is a consistent philosophy that applies clear logic and spiritual truths to the problems of our age.
Trined in Twilight
...by Mary Summer Rain.
Trined in Twilight
Amazon Price: $5.50 (as of 06/02/2012)
From Publishers Weekly
On her newest foray into metaphysics, Rain, author of 21 spirituality books, offers a useful corrective to popular psychology's fixation with the inner child. We each have an inner child, Rain suggests, but we also harbor a wise grandparent who requires as much attention as the latent youth. The significance of the title (a trine is a group of three) is explained in this extended metaphysical parable as Mary's Little Self (or inner child) visits her Granny (or Crone). Middle-aged writer Mary does not appear herself during the visit, but her presence is felt by constant references to "the Mother." The visit takes place in 2040, and Little Self is surprised at some of the changes--the fax machine and computer are gone, and the lilac trees that Little Self remembers as young saplings have grown. Granny and Little Self share many touching moments. When Little Self realizes she is terrified that Granny/the mother will die, Granny comforts her. Little Self gradually understands that she and Granny are different aspects of the same being: as soon as she asks if Granny loves the fall, Little Self realizes that "of course" she does. "We always did, didn't we?... All three of us." Granny also teaches Little Self a few lessons, reminding Little Self that sometimes she, the inner child, "break[s] through the Mother's consciousness at inappropriate times." Fans of visionary fiction will be inspired by this spiritual encounter.
Fireside
...by Mary Summer Rain.
Fireside
Amazon Price: $5.00 (as of 06/02/2012)
From the back cover
From her isolated cabin deep in the mountains, Mary Summer Rain shares, for the first time,her own philosophical views about many subjects. In a series of fireside chats, she brings together the wisdom of a lifetime of experiences, study, and deep contemplation. In a quiet dialogue with a close friend, Mary covers subjects such as "quantum meditation" and "virtual meditation" (terms she herself has coined), the meaning of value, what real power is, the wisdom of silence, unconditional goodness, what children need to be taught, the eight qualities of wisdom, the nature of the web of consciousness, the enlightened physicists, and much more, including a few predictions for the future. There is even a close encounter of the "bear" kind. Fireside is one of the most fascinating and instructive books Mary Summer Rain has ever written.
The Anasazi
Ancient Echoes: The Anasazi Book of Chants
...by Mary Summer Rain.
Ancient Echoes: The Anasazi Book of Chants
Amazon Price: $3.92 (as of 06/02/2012)
From the back cover
The Anasazi people lived in pueblos on the plateau area of the American Southwest from around 100 to 1300 A.D. In this unique book, Mary Summer Rain has brought forth the beauty and sensitivity of the Anasazi heart by recreating many of the chants used by one Anasazi community called the Spirit Clan. The information came from "spiritual memory recall," whereby she received, in deep meditative states, both the words and the spirit of the words, thus overcoming many differences in language. As Mary Summer Rain writes, "...the reader needs to read these ancient chants as prayers from the heart." An explanatory background note accompanies each chant.
These chants, prayers, and songs not only are works of poetic beauty, but also have many practical uses. There are healing chants, marriage songs, medicine prayers, child sleep songs, chants for a broken heart, and many others. It's both a stunning and very practical book.
Meditations
Whispered Wisdom: Portraits of Grandmother Earth
...by Mary Summer Rain.
Whispered Wisdom: Portraits of Grandmother Earth
Amazon Price: $10.04 (as of 06/02/2012)
From the back cover
Whispered Wisdom is a celebration of the incredible beauty of nature. The photos were taken by Mary Summer Rain, whose powerful and lyrical descriptions of the Colorado mountain set the background and the tone for her writings about and her experiences with No-Eyes, her beloved Indian shaman teacher. Accompanying the photos is a collection of verse, prose, vignettes, and saying taken from her woods-walking journal. Together the pictures and the words weave a wonderful tapestry of the many faces of Mother Earth, and the wisdom that nature has to teach humanity. Here is an inspiring and enlightening addition to the works of this unique writer.

Here is a gentle blend of the message and the messenger, a compendium to savor and share for the ages.
"Pinecones. In the heat of a forest fire, certain pinecones burst open to re-seed themselves within the nutrient-rich ashes left behind."

...by Mary Summer Rain.
Love Never Sleeps: Living at Home with Alzheimer's
Amazon Price: $22.88 (as of 06/02/2012)
From the back cover
Alzheimer's disease begins with simple lapses of memory, and progresses to a shutdown of mental and bodily systems, and eventual death. Love Never Sleeps is a rare first-hand look at this terrible condition from the point of view of the full-time caregiver.
Mary Summer Rain took the mother of her dear friend Sally into their home for a period of three and a half years, during which time Alzheimer's progressed from early onset to end stage. She wrote this book for potential caregivers, to help them make an informed choice regarding this difficult situation.

- Hi Mary Louise..I was happy to see your lens. I have posted before on this lens as crowhere. I love to see it has become active again. I found Mary's web site marysummerrain.net. She had an update section and brought everyone up on what she has been doing. She said she and Sally were doing good and stay busy. It was good to hear from her, to say the least.
Of course, she spoke of the times and the protection we all had available to us. Then she said the Phoenix was "in the birth canal" and she and Sally had a lot of work to do bringing their supplies up to date. If you have read Phoenix Rising you will know what that means. It sent shivers through me. I don't want to change the focus of this lens by any means. But, Mary ended the last post in sharing these two web sites: poleshift.ning.com and
zetatalk.com. She then removed the link to her updates. I was stunned. I feel it is very important to get the word out and that is why I have shared these sites. I miss her update letters. I hope we will hear more from her in the future. God Bless us all.

- I read your first book just before my house burned down. The prophecies in the book have haunted me ever since. The things we used to take for granted, like trust and respect, have somehow eroded into spiritual dust and we're left with this eddy of distrust, fear and hate. It is scary, with the birds falling out of the air dead and fish coming up dead with no eyes! What does it all mean? We have been at folly with the earth and with others and our punishment is the end of what we once took for granted, love, peace and contentment.
When asked about the dead birds falling out of the sky, a young man in California laughed and answered, " I don't know what it all means, but I'm just going to get something to eat." Thus, our answer, nobody really cares about the big picture because they are so fascinated by their own needs and wants in their lives.
The idea of GOD has been so abstracted that no one can even pray with accuracy, unless they can see the light. You can't see what you're not looking for! We need to SEE what we can not. Mankind has forgotten how to pray to the ONE, the light of HOPE, the spirit of PEACE!
May we be enlightened, one at a time, at our hour of death, so that Nirvana may be reached and we can pass into bliss.

- I just recently discovered Mary Summer Rain when a friend loaned me her No Eyes series, as well as her autobiographical works from the eighties and nineties. I absolutely love who and what she is! I am curious as to how she is doing now, in this new millenium. It has been an eventful decade for our us and our planet, and I am hoping to find out how she is doing lately. I am looking forward to reading more of her books!

- Hi Barb, thanks for stopping by! The book cover images are used to sell the books and are covered by 'fair use' laws (a part of copyright law). They're actually put there as part of the link to Amazon. I also promoted the artist in the introduction... Carole Burdo... you can go to her site to buy her art.

- Can you tell us how she is doing and what she is doing lately? Is she still living with Sally? Still having to work outside the home to make ends meet? Is she working on any new books (I hope!)?I also live in CO and met her years ago when she used to shop in the New Age bookstore I worked in, but was always too shy and afraid to impose to go up and talk to her! Sometimes I wish I'd been less so. Oh well. Her work has meant so much to me. It stands apart in integrity and beauty, in my humble opinion. I've written to her through her publisher once or twice but never heard back. I'd love to hear how she is. I have longed wished for another chance to meet her in person but it seems not meant to be. I'd settle for knowing how she is doing and that she's happy! [in reply to Larry]
