About the Author
Peter has been in the spiritual community for over 30 years, focused on his own healing path of looking in once he realized he would not get completeness outside. Writing this book has made Peter realize he is a servant of creation, embracing being of service to the Divine openly. This book is the beginning of the journey of commitment to service.
Recently completing his zodiac cycle of 60 years, and with a whole new life ahead of him, Peter is embracing ‘phase two’ which includes yoga, cleansing, and living the true path of spirituality. Peter was first told in 2011 that he would write three books, and he kept on writing until he realized he had the first book ready to publish. Peter is sometimes daunted by the size of who he is in this world, but he feels more and more comfortable with the reality of it all.
Interview with Peter Wise
Please share a bit about your journey to become a published author?
This is actually a life journey. I have learned that this is the reason that I have come to this life in this time. I am here to convey information. The first cycle of my life has been clearing the energy that has accumulated over the lives I have spent previously in this realm. I learned recently that I have just finished an astrological cycle. This happened when I turned 60. A friend articulated it for me, reminding me about the concept of the cycles of astrology. I already knew what was happening but I didn’t have an explanation for it. I knew intuitively.
I have written in my book how I know things. It is information that is in its time to be shared. It is my privilege to be the person to share it. I have learned that I am just a vessel for this process. The side effect is that sharing it is what makes me the most happy in my life. This effect is also part of what I am attempting to convey in my book. Find what makes you happy and be that.
This has not been an easy task because of the time to get to this place and not fitting into the “norm.” I have come to terms with this journey for the most part, but like all of us still have things to learn.
Julie assisted me by putting me back into my book. In the course of this I was originally told that no one wants to know about me and to take me out of my material. I did this and it was a dry lecture. It had the basic information. Julie told me that it is my experience that makes it relevant, to put them back in. I thought that I was going to have to write a second book to put the stories out there but as it turns out it is all in the same book.

How does the writing process work for you? Do you schedule a time every day, work madly when inspiration hits or ?
I just had ideas of what I wanted to write about and began different files on my computer. As I was inspired, I added to them until I got enough information in them that seemed relevant to each subject. These ideas have been a part of me for some time, but it was while writing I finally realized what was meant to be written. I would spend Sunday working on them. It was usually my only day off from my job, so I began to make a point of spending my Sunday’s cloistered away in my apartment going through the material and adding what needed to be fleshed out as it was required.
This material is not something that I do consciously, I just put it down as it comes to me. It is the way my mind works. I just add what is right to me. Ideas form and I think about them until they are fully formed and then I write them down. The idea of the forgiveness board is an example of this. The garden of Eden story as well.
What did you find most difficult about the writing and publishing process? What was the easiest?
The most difficult part was accepting what I am writing as a reality. I know when I am in my stillness that it is real, but then the voices that are outside intrude and I question myself. I have had a lot of negative feedback about who I am in my life. This creates problems with writing it down. Who is going to believe me? I know that once the process is done it will be different because I will begin to meet with those who are interested. Getting to this place has been the most challenging.
Finding someone to publish me was difficult. It had already been decided what was going to happen, but I hadn’t gotten there yet. I first met Julie at an event years previously and had kept her information paper. Once I finally got the courage to call her, it all happened quite quickly and easily. Even Julie was surprised at the sequence of events. It is a story in and of itself.
This whole story has unfolded as it has needed to. Recently I have come to see that I am still in a fog. Things need to happen in my life before the fog will rise.
Social media is also an area I need to work on. I am on Facebook at the moment. I am not very proficient with it, but I just have to get some training in the web and learn how to best use it effectively. I had to copy this to questionnaire to a word document so that I could answer the questions because I couldn’t figure out how to answer them in the email.
What title have you released? Please include a short synopsis of what your book is about.
My book is about a journey to our next level of existence. It is my understanding of what we are doing on this planet at this time, and what we are doing in our next step. It explains the idea that we have chosen to step out of our divinity temporarily so that we can learn about the concept of good and evil. These are just ideas and are not real. They are real to us in this now because we are living them in a limited fashion.
Also, I introduce the idea that we as a spiritual collective who have chosen to serve with the learning of this aspect of consciousness. It is not who we truly are, but what we have decided to do in service. I also introduce the idea, or perhaps reiterate the idea, that it is in finding our happiness we will best serve ourselves, others and the divine most effectively. It ultimately leads to a new paradigm that is pure joy. Our next stage of physical life. Once we reach this stage we become the miracle workers that we truly are.
Do you have any new books in the planning or writing stage?
I have been told that I will write a total of three books, but at the moment I do not know what the next two are even about. They will of course be spiritual in nature and probably offer ways to further our journey; but that has yet to be revealed to me. I will be hanging around this physical realm for a while, so it will give me something to do at some point in my future.
What would you like readers to know about you?
I am very much into the purification of the body. This seems to be my most immediate passion. It is necessary as there are so many sick people in the world. We have the possibility to eliminate this, and I have decided to live my life as an example of what is possible for us all. My life will revolve around a raw food cleansing focus. First of all, I have no judgment around what others are doing. I have noticed if I share something people immediately begin making excuses to me for why they continue to do what they do. I just want to be an example of what is possible and help those that want to do something different. I am adamant about the idea that we are all doing exactly what we are supposed to be doing and if we want something different in our lives then it is up to the individual to do that.
The purpose of my book is to start a conversation that I will have for the rest of my life. Over the next few years I will formulate teachings that are in line with what is in my passion and nature to assist others in moving out of their conditioning. At the moment I am not sure what this will all look like, but as I acquire freedom from my current job, I will develop this into a format that I can bring to others.
All I want is to help people be happy. My biggest challenge in this now is to not try to help everyone. I have to learn how to help those that want help. I will take training as needed to be the most effective in this as I learn more about myself and the ways I can best serve my brothers and sisters in the world.
