Is it ever too late for a person to take on personal reinvention and transform his or her life? Can our planet right itself and reverse centuries of struggle, hatred and warfare? Are love, peace and harmony achievable possibilities for the world’s people? The Legend of the Light-Bearers is a tale about vision, courage and commitment, set in the magical world of Center Earth. In this much anticipated prequel to Dr. Joe Rubino’s internationally best-selling book, The Magic Lantern: A Fable about Leadership, Personal Excellence and Empowerment, the process of personal and global transformation is explored within the guise of an enchanting fable. As the action unfolds in the world following the great flood and the fall of Atlantis and Lemuria, this personal development parable explores the nature of hatred and resignation, the secrets to transformation, and the power of anger and the means to overcoming it and replacing it with love. It shows what can happen when people live values-based lives and are guided by their life purposes instead of their destructive moods and their need to dominate others. If ever our world needed a roadmap to peace and cooperation and our people, a guide to personal empowerment and happiness, they do now…and this is the book.
