Mary Summer Rain  

But in hindsight, Mary felt it was a greater calling, when still unhappy with their situation she got into her car and drove out into the Colorado woods one day. Leaving the car, she sat on a stump or fallen tree and cried her eyes out. When she looked up, there was No-Eyes.

So began a wonderful teacher-pupil relationship that would last until No-Eyes' death and impart to Mary not only a reconnection to her native roots, but a wisdom and knowledge to pass on to future generations, aboriginal wisdom and philosophy that is good for Mother Earth and her children.

Her writings exist, at a time when humanity is again open, to embrace, honor, and include the great wisdom of the aboriginal peoples of the world.

We at this website expect that Mary Summer Rain is now retired. She has been a private person for quite a few years now. That does not mean that future generations will not continue to enjoy her books.

We wish you well, Mary, and thank you for the knowledge you have imparted.

The information came from “spiritual memory recall,” whereby she received, in deep meditative states, both the words and the spirit of the words. These chants, prayers, and songs also have many practical uses, for healing, blessings, child sleep songs, for a broken heart. Illustrated with line drawings, it is a stunning and practical book.

Eclipse - Mary Summer Rain 1999

Amazon Synopsis: Having received thousands of letters over the years since the release of her questions-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, too, her own knowledge and spiritual philosophy evolved into one of greater 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 ways an attempt to honor readers' concerns and ongoing personal questions 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.

 

Fireside - Mary Summer Rain 1998

Amazon Synopsis: 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 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.

Fiction

 

Ruby – Mary Summer Rain 2005

Amazon Synopsis: “The woman's faded Army coat, which partially covered her long skirt, had seen better days. A mass of silver hair bushed out wildly from beneath a red knit hat that had something on it that twinkled in the sunlight. On the lady's feet, dirty tennis shoes were riddled with holes, exposing thin green socks beneath. The approach of a mangy crippled dog caught the girl's attention as it slowly limped into her line of vision. It was pitifully hobbling on three legs toward the seated woman.”

When antiques dealer Sadie Brennan, fresh from the break up of a long-term relationship, is called to her sister's estate outside Chicago, she has no idea she's being pulled into a major mystery. She is there to help her 8-year-old niece Savannah, who has entered into a trauma-induced state of muteness. But once she arrives in town, Sadie meets a strange homeless woman named Ruby, and her life truly becomes an odyssey. Together, Sadie and Savannah seek to solve the puzzle that is Ruby.
