REFLECTIONS IN MY MAGICAL MIRROR (Spirituality 104)--the 4th offering in Ivan Figueroa-Otero's "School of Life" series--encourages readers to remember that every difficult experience is actually a lesson of Love.
Sometimes professionals changing careers mid-stream in order to offer entirely new gifts to the world totally works. And sometimes repurposing material from a previous book into a new one does too. Luckily for readers, in the case of Ivan Figueroa-Otero's REFLECTIONS IN MY MAGICAL MIRROR (Spirituality 104) both these realities hold true. After working as a general surgeon at the University of Puerto Rico's medical hospital along with stints at Miami Children's Hospital, etc., Figueroa-Otero began to explore less invasive options for health care, eventually becoming certified as a medical acupuncturist and beginning a practice that emphasized preventative care while starting to advocate the same kind of knowledge-base update for general medical school curriculum as well. In the meantime, based upon what Life was personally teaching him, Figueroa-Otero put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard towards crafting a School of Life trilogy, from which quotes were taken to provide the basis for this fourth book.
Offered alongside genial messages plus interactive exercises/meditation intended to provide insight into the very nature of Existence, this is a spiritual self-help volume fit to peruse should the current chaos in worldwide events or one's own personal life seem dire. It explains truisms such as "True love isn't given or taken away: it awakens the love the other person always had." In fact, the book is so chock full of wise aphorisms along with gentle support, readers may well find themselves rushing right out to also acquire the initial installments of this series: Spirituality 101, 102, and 103 which take on School of Life dropouts, those who are disconnected, plus the code of forgiveness.

THE MOVING WORDS REVIEW
BOOK INFORMATION:
Title: Spirituality 104: Lessons of Love from The School of Life
Author: Ivan Figueroa-Otero
Publisher: Mascot Books
Publication date: November 11, 2021
Review date: June 13, 2022
BOOK REVIEW:
Dr. Iván Figueroa-Otero is a retired pediatric surgeon who has authored the School of Life
trilogy. In his latest book, "Spirituality 104: Lessons of Love from the School of Life", he offers a
handy guide on all the lessons from the first three levels.
In the first book, we learn how to become students of the universe and what lessons the great
beyond has in store for us. In the second book, we learn to adapt the religious/traditional message to be more technological and cybernetic to relay the message to younger minds.
In his third book, we look at the "software corruption" we may have adapted in our journey. How this corruption traps us in mental prisons, and why it may seem we cannot find our happiness in our universal journey.
Long-time readers of his previous works will find this latest guide incredibly helpful as it
recapitulates all his lessons in an easy-to-follow format. Nevertheless, first-time readers can also benefit from this handy guide since the author recalls essential lessons for us to catch up without feeling lost or left out. He also includes fifty-two quotes and practical meditation guides on how we can apply these lessons.
Overall, I love how well-organized the book is and how welcoming it is to readers from all
backgrounds. Several quotes included come from several religions while offering a non-
judgmental guide on how it can benefit us in the long run. Regardless of your religious
affiliation, the author provides a well-rounded and accommodating guide for anyone willing to
tackle the more significant questions in life. As students of the universe, we must first learn how to recognize the significance of our duality and how we can use that knowledge to continue our journey.

"The material in this book is a treasure,full of practical advice for us all.
It is a great guide to starting out our days with a
quote and a thought to direct us toward all the positive behaviors we can create in our brain's laboratory."
—Dr. Norman González Chacón, one of the
founding fathers of natural medicine and the bioethical way of life

Iván Figueroa Otero M.D. FACS, FAAMA

After graduating from the School of Medicine of the University of PR in 1970, Dr. Figueroa Otero trains as General Surgeon at the University Hospital of the UPR School of Medicine, integrating a one-year fellowship in the study of cancer, and one year in experimental research. Post-graduate studies in Pediatric Surgery, then follow at Miami Children's Hospital and the San Juan Municipal Hospital.

Looking for non-surgical or less invasive options for pediatric conditions, Dr. Figueroa Otero explores Eastern philosophies that emphasize a holistic concept of disease. He was one of the first physicians to become certified in medical acupuncture in Puerto Rico, training in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture with professors from the University of Seville. Eventually he was certified in medical acupuncture nationally.

In 2009, he became certified in anti- aging medicine and in December of that year he retired from the practice of pediatric surgery, focusing instead on a holistic medical practice and emphasizing disease prevention and modification of life styles. In 2011 he was invited to become a Trustee of the American Board of Medical Acupuncture, which is the national body organization responsible for certifying physicians in the field of acupuncture through national exams. In that same year he was recognized by Natural Awakenings magazine as Holistic Physician of the Year.

Dr. Figueroa Otero is currently engaged in his private practice and continues in his role as an educator, trying to achieve full integration of traditional Chinese acupuncture courses in the curriculum of medical schools, promoting that physicians to be certified both locally and nationally, and to establish clinical research protocols on the use of acupuncture in known conditions compared to the methodology established by modern medicine. Another immediate priority is to incorporate meditation techniques and their role in preventive and therapeutic medicine.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Tome of Great Comfort that Teases, not Sates, One’s Spiritual Appetite
    Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2023
    Format: Kindle
    It may seem, at first glance at Spirituality 104’s concept, that a simple collection of quotes will leave the reader underwhelmed. Happily, this thought has no truth! Dr. Figueroa-Otero does a tremendous job in providing spiritual guidance that I found challenging and enlightening. There are just a few factual errors that left me – literally—scratching my head and prevented the book from reaching a perfect potential. Thankfully, these drawbacks in no way take away from the powerful help Spirituality 104 can provide to a thoughtful reader.
    Dr. Figueroa-Otero does a wonderful job in integrating a Christian perspective into his personal Buddhist worldview. His differential between the “son of God,” and our egotistical, lesser, and exclusivist “son of man,” sees the son of God not a person, but as humanity’s ideal state. Refreshingly, his discussion of selfishness never seems tiresome. Rather, Spirituality 104 provides a consistent message of patience in following God’s plan for us. It doesn’t seem important within the pages whether God is a person or a spiritual energy. Dr. Figueroa-Otero’s message feels sure either way. He ensures that every chapter, each of which is a popcorn-sized wisdom kernel, concludes with a spiritual reflection. Each reflection, even if taken in passing, filled me with peace, and many startled me with their truth.
    There are just a few errors that I need to mention, although they are but trifles. Jesus’s “forgive them, Lord,” passage [Luke 23, 34] isn’t found in the earliest manuscripts. Jesus proves a more conflicting figure, and wonderfully so, as it reflects his dual nature of both God and man. Dr. Figueroa-Otero correctly observes this dichotomy in quote 52 when he recalls his realization that patience, not just perfection, makes a sage. The message of the book here, then, is correct overall, and the misquote is exceptionally common, so it’s a small nit.
    Also, the book's mention of the unending contraction and expansion cycle of the universe has thankfully fallen out of favor with cosmologists. Humanity is not stuck in an endless loop – far from it! The clock of reality accelerates to a great end of salvation for nearly all. This error is, again, a small oversight, but could have been corrected with a bit more research on the author’s end. Lastly, the end of the book feels just a bit rushed.
    If there were books about everything Jesus did, as Saint John noted, there wouldn’t be enough room in the world for all those books. Funny, then, how there hardly seems enough room on our sphere for all the self-help books out there, and there are more every day on Amazon! So much the better, then, when one emerges specially. Although there are just a few puzzling detours, the road of Spirituality 104 still brought me significantly further along my personal journey to better understanding the purpose of kindness. Each book designed to help others is a welcome star in the nighttime library. Even granting this broad compliment, Spirituality 104 proves to be a bright orb indeed.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2022

    I would like to preface this review by stating that I have not read any of the author's previous books His previous books are referred to often, throughout the book, but I do not feel like having not read them affected my opinion on the book, overall.

    There are 52 quotes in the book, and 52 weeks in a year, and I as I read each chapter, I almost felt as though I was reading a daily devotional. Each quote that introduced the chapter was one that I wanted to savor, and reflect on. Each chapter was one that I wanted to think about more and actually give myself a good overhaul on how I think and how I should possibly be thinking. This is not a book to be read by someone who does not have an open mind, or an open heart. We can all better ourselves, and this book has some great suggestions on how to do this. Do I expect to turn into a vegan? doubtful,. But, just as "God's name is too big for my mouth" this book was too big for my head to get wrapped around upon one reading. This is a book that could be picked up again and again and depending on where I am in my life, it would bring me back down to earth, which is exactly where I need to be. Eyes to the Heavens, and feet on the ground.
    I do recommend this book, and the only change I would make in it is to put that resource/reference with the "Meditation of a Colorful Bath of Light" at the beginning of the book, instead of at the end, simply for those of us who are unfamiliar with it. I did turn to that once I realized it was going to be suggested at the end of each chapter, which also would have been a great way to end my day. So, despite the fact that I did not read each chapter, one per day, I do think if I did read it again, that is the way I would do it.

    52 Quotes covering the most important aspects of life; well explained and followed by exercises to internalize the message. The author shared his profound knowledge through a magical mirror bearing in mind that readers would internalize each quote by reflecting deeply.

    I would like to share one of my favorite quotes: “Quote 50 – Life is a journey where the goal is not your destination, but the experience you obtain on the way there”. When I performed the exercises associated to this quote, I was happy with my new discoveries and gained experiences, but I didn't stop there, I reflected on the other quotes as well to enhance my gained experience.

    Guaranteed to make you think, "Reflections in My Magical Mirror (Spirituality 104: Lessons of Love from the School of Life)" also goes a long way down the road of teaching you HOW to think – about your life, your purpose, the strength of your love, and the truth of the depth of consciousness – and how to do so in a way that is healthy for you and the rest of the world, too.

    I must advise that, while starting with Dr. Figueroa-Otero's first three entries in this series is by no means a necessity, beginning your educational journey here, in the fourth volume, may inhibit your enjoyment or understanding of the concepts within. On the other hand, though it took me a while to find my way in, I stand as evidence that the tortuous road can be traversed.

    I have noticed some strange wording in the text, and occasionally, the message seems more circuitous than it probably needs to be, but to be honest, I had much more difficulty digesting the numerous reviews praising the volume and its author at the start of the book than I did the heady, often metaphorical ideas that followed.

    And on a final, more pragmatic note, "Spirituality 104" is designed to give you one quote to ponder – along with a thoughtful explanation and exercises to help you internalize it – for each week of the year. But you can always just read it straight through as well. In the future, I'll probably do both!

    Either way, may we all emerge greater contributors of peace and love.
