About Rising Up Into the Divine – World Mystics on the Ascent of Your Soul:
If God is everywhere, why have people all over the globe thought your soul goes somewhere up above when you die? In an easily readable, non-academic style, this well-documented book considers this question, drawing from the direct writings of over fifty mystics from several dozen religions, beginning with the ancient Hindus and ending with New Age movements. Along the way, it also reflects upon the following:
Why is my Higher Self called “Higher,” and what exactly is it? Is it my soul?
Why is the Trinity such an important concept in so many religions?
Could people really levitate, and did any of them write about their own experiences?
Can science explain why they went upward?
Where do we go when we rise up out of our bodies in near-death experiences?
Who was Madame Blavatsky, and why is she considered so important?
What foundational information did theosophists discover over eighty years before scientists did?
What is the mysterious inner sound many mystics taught to only their closest initiates, and what does it have to do with the upward ascent in consciousness?
What do cosmic spirals have to do with the divine ascent?
Come join the author as she takes you on her search into the history and science of the structure of your Divine Higher Self. Some of the spiritual pioneers whose thoughts are examined in the work include Jesus Christ, Gautama Buddha, Plotinus, Origin, Gregory the Great, Teresa of Avila, Emmanuel Swedenborg, Paramahansa Yogananda, Rumi, Meister Eckhart, Madam Blavatsky, Benjamin Franklin, Sri Aurobindo, Teilhard de Chardin, and Edgar Cayce.

Author Bio:
Lucia Lena Hodges is a lifelong student and dedicated explorer of spiritual science, guided by a passion for synthesis of ancient wisdom, subtle anatomy, and cosmic design. With a formal background in biology and ecology and decades of study on the spiritual path, she brings a rare balance of scientific insight and esoteric understanding to her work. Her first book, “Rising Up into the Divine – World Mystics on the Ascent of your Soul,” established her as a voice connecting mysticism, history, science, and inner evolution. In her second work, “Spirals – Cosmic Bridges Between Dimensions,” she dives deeper, tracing the spiral’s role in consciousness and soul evolution.
In 2023, true and interesting stories about life after death that had fallen into the public domain began to come her way. To date she has resurrected six of them with new covers, editing, formatting, and useful added content such as forewords, notes, and indices. She believes these works hold keys to understanding what the soul is and how it functions in various levels of reality.
Lucia resides in the mountains of southern Oregon. You are invited to drop by her Inner Sound Press website for more good reading!
