A Spiritual Journey Nov 07, 2005
I first received Raylene Abbott's, "Between the Visions" as a birthday present from a dear friend. Once I began reading, I was unable to put it down. This is a beautiful, uplifting and insightful book that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore their spirituality and lift their spirits. Raylene takes the reader on a beautiful spiritual journey and shows us that magic can be found everywhere.

Between the Visions Oct 28, 2005
Raylene is a visionary with great insights into women's healing. She has traveled through many passages, in her book she takes you on her journey to inner and distant places. She offers the sacred adventure into sexuality which each of us long for in these times. It is a great read sharing with each that it is achievable NOW.
I have sense of purity Oct 22, 2005
I have just finished reading this book. I have sense of purity, like the water of Mt. Shasta.
Inspired by this book, I am practicing to saturate my thought with beauty through my daily life. I am confident about letting go of my old relationships by practicing the wisdom of this book.
This book is the encouragement for me to live the spiritual life. Many thanks!

Between the Visions Jun 15, 2005
Review from Mt. Shasta Magazine
Vol. 5 Issue 1
By Michou Landon
Mount Shasta's own Raylene Abbott has birthed a
sweet and intimate memoir of one woman's ever-
deepening journey of healing, integration, Union
with the Beloved - human and Divine. Gently and
simply written, playful and passionate, it is at times
a poignant, powerful read.
Explanatory passages, which may seem very basic
to some, ensure that the "less spiritually traveled"
readers are included and even educated. Even so,
some of the content may command a considerable
spiritual maturity or at least openness.
Biographical narrative ties together the author's
visions, which have served to illuminate her regular,
3-D, human experiences. Often these visions contain
symbolism of buried cultures, reviving the timeless
truth and tangible relevance of images made cryptic
by time and tyranny.
Union is the cohesive theme, whether as Union of
Heaven and Human, Etheric and Earthly, Feminine
and Masculine, or the universality among all
spiritual traditions and practitioners. The gift of
Abbott's personal accounts is to illustrate this unity
more experientially than theoretically.
This is, however, as the author concedes at the
outset, an account of experiences whose true essence
and impact are beyond the realm of words. This is
why the level of each reader's spiritual openness,
humility and maturity can greatly influence how s/he
receives the content and message; that is, how much
s/he finds resonance and inspiration in the
experiences and how much s/he feels an awkward
spectator.
Tantric exploration features importantly in the
book; the candid sexual passages could challenge
some, which might not be a bad thing. True Tantra
holds promise for the salvation of many.
Overall, while this little book may not be for
everyone, it holds potential value for everyone,
whether to answer questions, plant seeds, or truly
inspire fellow travelers on the numinous journey.
