The Coyoté Oak:  Burgeoning Wisdom

by Carlisle Bergquist

ISBN:  0-9791750-6-2

Reviews

This well-written tale describes a fantastic adventure by outrageous characters. But its roots reflect a knowledge of Native American wisdom and contemporary parapsychology as well as Taoist philosophy, shamanism, African-Brazilian spiritualism, quantum physics, and lucid dreaming. And all of that can be found in the first few chapters! From that point on, THE COYOTE OAK becomes even more engaging leading to an ending that is totally unexpected. Carlisle Bergquist is a new voice in the genre of fantastic realism, and voice that we may expect to hear from in future years as his immense talents bear even more delicious fruit.

Albert Einstein declared that "imagination is more important than knowledge." Songwriter, performer, and now transpersonal therapist Carlisle Bergquist has proven that you can combine both into an unforgettable flight of fantasy novel that has down-to-earth wisdom in it worthy of a Nobel Prize.

'The Coyote Oak' will appeal to the seasoned readers of Brad Steiger, Richard Bach, James Redfield, and Dan Millman.  This is the story of our walk between the multi-dimensional worlds of reality where myth collides with meaning within the forever turning and tumbling kaleidoscope of life experience.

I have for several years now been an appreciative observer of Carlisle Bergquist’s multifaceted creative and therapeutic work.  In a world too often constrained by narrow vision, Bergquist slams the peddle to the medal, hits the road full speed, and spangles the sky with the many stories of which we are composed and by which we continue the community narrative full of fun and hope.  Welcome to The Coyote Oak, you’ll like it here.    Climb aboard for higher consciousness.

"The Coyoté Oak:  Burgeoning Wisdom by Carlisle Bergquist lives up to its name.  Like the trickster Coyoté, this fanciful read informs with unpredictable authority.  The visionary novel weaves deep ecology, shamanism, quantum physics, Native American spirituality, Taoism, mysticism, and even Christianity into an engaging healing adventure.  No small accomplishment as its wisdom rings loud and exquisitely clear.  The author’s vivid descriptions engulf the senses; you can almost taste the pancakes, smell the moss, see the sunsets and you will certainly fall in love with the characters.  Expect to be drawn in deep, transformed and left howling for more."
