— Ultimately, it came down to “What am I passionate about?” The answer to that question was “My spirituality”. That’s what I love, that’s what I am passionate about. All that I had learned from my Order, about life, its mysteries, and how to work with the powers of the Universe -- that’s what turns me on. After coming to “know” that, I turned my focus on how do I make this a new life. – Says Jeff
Valeria Teles interviews Jeffrey Segal — an Author, Life Coach, Artist, Founder Of Mystic Journey Bookstore And Mystic Journey Crystals, And Speaker.
Jeffrey Segal was raised and educated in Los Angeles. He went to Occidental College and then to law school at American University in Washington, D.C. After securing his JD in 1985, Jeffrey returned to Los Angeles and began what turned out to be a 25+ year legal career. Before beginning that career, however, Jeffrey failed the bar exam. This “failure” turned out to be one of the most positive events in Jeffrey’s life. It was this “failure” that “inspired” Jeffrey to turn to a set of spiritual teachings he had been given, but had never looked at, to help him overcome the bar exam hurdle.
These teachings, and the manifestation techniques contained therein, not only helped Jeffrey pass the bar exam the next time, but they became the guiding life principles he has used ever since to create all that he wanted in his life. It is these teachings that are the core of this book. Jeffrey then began his legal practice. But after ten years he started to become disenchanted. As time passed, this feeling became disillusionment, lack of fulfillment, and ultimately an intense desire to get out of law. But the ‘golden handcuffs' were too tight. He couldn’t leave. That was until, after some twenty years of practice, Jeffrey “created” a cancer in his body, a cancer to finally force him out. While the doctors initially thought they had caught the cancer early, a follow-up test revealed a lymph node abnormality. The doctors wanted Jeffrey to undergo chemotherapy. Jeffrey instinctively knew, however, that this was not the right path for him. Instead, he chose a course of natural/alternative healing. He put together a team of healers, including an acupuncturist, a bodyworker, an energy worker, and a traditional therapist to guide him on his path of healing. After six months of working with his team, the abnormality had completely disappeared. It was during this time of healing that Jeffrey
decided to leave the practice of law and follow his passion in the realm of spirituality, and create Mystic Journey Bookstore.
