Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Jared Rosen aired July 12th-18th

In Drowning In The Light: Memories Of The New Age, author I.J. Rosen takes the reader along in an exhilarating dive into the depths of the sea of consciousness in search for his soul and the structure of reality.

Along the way the author shares his experiences with some of the most profound thinkers and renowned artists of our time. With a perfect blend of dark humor and deep spiritual wisdom, the pages fly as we are transported from the late 1970s downtown NY scene, to shamanic initiations in the mountains of Peru to his heartfelt yet satirical observations of New Age culture in 1980’s California.

Rosen brilliantly articulates the pain and vulnerability one can experience searching for spiritual truth as he faces death and sanity head on. By the final pages, you will know it is life’s journey that makes us who we are. Drowning In The Light will entertain you and may also transform you. Think Jack Kerouc’s On The Road meets Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist.
