Somers explains these energies as elemental forces—masculine as logos, logic and doing; feminine as eros, love, wisdom and the collective compass—and warns of cultural imbalance, linking it to dis-ease within ourselves and the planet. He intimately recounts his earliest encounters with death as a child and decades later, undergoing the dark night of the soul during an egoic dissolution after the breakup of his popular band, The Samples, where he played rhythm guitar for more than a decade. Somer’s death as a rockstar birthed his miraculous new life as a steward of the land and a healer of those seeking to restore their own internal balance. Somers never considered himself a writer, but surrendered to the painstaking journey that he describes as his “daily appointment with Spirit.” Part Hunter Thompson + Don Quixote, Rob Somer’s voice offers a refreshing new perspective on faith and devotion.\n"}
