Living through Alternatives to the Norm

Robert Charles Hunter is an Author, Speaker, Advisor, and Business Leader. He worked in his family business throughout high school and college. In 1974 he went to work at Frito Lay, a PepsiCo company, transferred to Pizza Hut headquarters, and implemented a consolidated distribution/services company that grew to a $4 billion enterprise. He retired from PepsiCo on the sale of that company.

Robert’s background as a top business executive firmly rooted him in the world of logic. But after attaining numerous pinnacles of success, he found himself asking, “Is that all there is?”

Robert had long been curious about metaphysical studies as he sought better understanding of himself and the world around him. After his retirement from PepsiCo, he began a journey of learning about alternatives to the world he knew and pursued those that piqued his interest.

A propitious road trip to Sedona, Arizona awakened in him a latent awareness of things unknown or unrecognized, broadening his world perspective and focusing for him what it means to be alive. His curiosity led him to pursue metaphysical awareness of the physical, mental, and spiritual bodies within each of us.

He’s writing a series of six books titled Curious Journey. The first two, Origins and Energy are available today and the third, Body, is in the works. In these books he introduces concepts, enlightens readers, and leads skeptics down a path that can inspire further critical thinking. He seeks to inform and educate – not indoctrinate – others on ideas, insights, and discoveries of the world around us we may not yet know. The series is an exercise in learning to accept another’s point of view without compromising your principles.

Robert graduated with a Liberal Arts degree from the College of Artesia in 1969, has done postgraduate work at Penn State University, and has a Doctor of Divinity degree from The Logos Center.

His speaking engagements focus on the holistic person, utilizing all faculties for better enjoying your world.

His and his wife, three-time Oscar® nominee Diane Ladd, live in Ojai, California and relish time with their ten grandchildren.

Curious Journey: Origins

Robert Hunter presents an excellent case that there is way more to what’s going on in this world than most of us have any idea. Knowledge is power,and the knowledge he presents is stunning.

Marianne Williamson
Author of The Age of Miracles, The Gift of Change, Healing the Soul ofAmerica, and numerous other bestsellers

A Curious Journey is a literary tour de force spanning the experiences, formulations, and applications of spiritual seekers, and cultures, throughout the ages. What is especially laudable is how Author Robert Charles Hunter describes the vast scope of such highly complex material in a very clear, concise and down-to-earth manner; sometimes enthralled, sometimes tongue in cheek, sometimes incredulous, often humorous. This book is a “must” read for anyone embarking on their own Curious Journey, as well as anyone who is seeking a comprehensive history of the permutations of spiritual thinking.”

Rarely will you find a ‘cool cucumber’ entrepreneur and successful business maven like Robert Charles Hunter researching and writing a biting and brilliant tableau of New Age, Old Age, Metaphysics, Folklore and Mysteries, including Astrology and Numerology, that teaches and transforms skeptics and main line religious conservatives like A Curious Journey. Hunter insinuates his own spiritual growth with his discoveries and makes it possible for each of us to unearth ancient and current truths that we didn’t know existed. If you want to cajole your family and friends who will learn to be more open to what can free them from innate prejudice against spiritual wisdom, buy them this book. I’d suggest that you buy it by the caseload and stimulate your whole neighborhood.

The book “Curious Journey: Origins,” is a marvelous compilation of the “Big Picture.” When we come across ancient structures that we cannot replicate today, we are puzzled. When ancient text is so deep or futuristic it is hard to wrap your current mind around them, it can be confusing. Or perhaps when we realize “New age” can’t refer to even the last 100 years! There is a whole big puzzle that has many, many pieces. Robert Hunter’s Book has begun to weave the pieces together and offer clarity on the unknown.

Robert Charles Hunter’s CURIOUS JOURNEY, “A Traveler’s Guide to the Unknown” is a trip which touches your mind, heart and soul. Hunter compels you to delve deeper and deeper, to shake up your own beliefs, whether you are new to New Age or “Woo Woo”, having just started dabbling, or you have been immersed in “Woo Woo” for decades and want to continue your journey of alternative ways to think and feel about how we look at ourselves and our relation to everything seen and not seen. Every page is packed with information written brilliantly with enormous scholarly research but told with humor in an easily understandable and breezy style. He makes you want to explore more and more whatever the subject might be. Curiosity peaked page by page from Metaphysics to Gods & Angels to New Agers from the Past to Astrology, Numerology, Tarot and the Worlds beyond ours – this is just a sampling. And Hunter gives you many sources beyond his marvelous book from which to study further. A feast of a smorgasbord of delectable treats to tantalize one’s “belief system.” Yum!

Chris Kelley Karel

Your book “Curious Journey: Origins” is absolutely brilliant. The scope of the knowledge and information contained in the book is just amazing. You have managed to assemble a book on so many diverse paths of knowledge and understanding. All these paths help us to better understand our own lives and help us to try to learn the meaning of life itself. Your book gives all of us clues as to our own purpose here on earth. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.
Sincerely,

“Origins” is a great primer. I have never seen anyone put together a complete picture before in this detail. . .Chapter 6 on the translators was the first time I have seen such comprehensive content in one place and loved your conclusion: “In the meantime what could it hurt to satisfy our curiosity, hone our knowledge, inspect alternatives, and come to our own conclusions.”

Dale Strack

One of the finest books I have had the good fortune to read. Robert is above excellence.

Curious Journey – Energy

If you have read and studied Robert Hunter’s first book, Curious Journey – Origins, you will qualify for a Bachelor’s Degree in New Age Education. Reading his second book, Curious Journey – Energy of the New Age adds a Master’s in Energy Education. He writes as he talks, with great knowledge, a good dose of skepticism and enough humor mixed in to make you wish for more. He is an encyclopedia of information! No one that I know of has gathered the massive amount of information about this field so brilliantly. Whether curious about this “New Age” field or someone who has studied it for many years, you will be astounded at what you learn. I was fascinated at his amazing unbiased evaluation of so many topics and surprised at how it expanded my own consciousness. Robert’s third book, yet to be published in this trilogy, will, if it is anything like his first two, pretty much complete your doctorate. I think it will also inspire you to do post-graduate studies you would never have believed you would delve into. We will carry both books and any future ones in our bookstore and recommend them whole heartedly.
Good job Robert!!!

Robert Hunter takes us along his Curious Journey through NewAge thought, without preaching to us, with wit, insight, and an elegant clarity. Consequently, his book is inspirational, full of surprises, and most profoundly, it’s a heck of a lot of fun!

Who? What? When? Why? Robert Charles Hunter is still digging through both closeted and open-face mysteries of the Universe in his new book CURIOUS JOURNEY—ENERGY which started with CURIOUS JOURNEY—ORIGINS three years ago to give you some answers to these questions. Hunter is not a dyed-in the-wool believer in the paranormal but rather he’s a man who spent his life creating feet-on-the-ground provable strategies for corporate America. His attitude is “what if?”, and he makes a strong case for joining him on the journey in which he is not selling anything — but offering possibilities. I know him well and what amazes me beyond words or reason is how a businessman like Hunter unearths and presents such spellbinding tales in plain-Jane language like you find in this book, the second in a series that I hope never ends. Buy it and give it to friends, especially skeptics!

I found this book fascinating. It opened my mind up to a broader perspective of the energy that surrounds us.

Nicely done Robert. Easy to read, well researched, covers a lot of ground, and rather personable as well. This should help a lot of people who are opening up and having awakenings.

Robert Hunter has embarked not only on a Curious Journey as his series of books is named, but also on the ultimate journey of the soul: Who are we and where are we going? This is the journey which every one of us must travel. This series of books promises to be an invaluable handbook for us all. Hunter is providing a sound foundation of the basic scientific facts and the creative insights of the greatest researchers and teachers in this field. He is presenting these handbooks in a form that is graceful, palatable, organized, and integrated. His insights may guide us soundly on this magnificent journey. I encourage all who embark on this journey to reinforce their foundational insights with a study of these books.

Thank you Robert for this book! As a person who was brought up in the concrete scientific world and then literally forced into the Woo-Woo world of energy healing, I have bumped into and pondered many of the concepts Robert addresses in this delightful book. Robert has the gift of being open to possibilities and experiences and then pragmatically writing about it so readers can come to their own conclusions. It is such a challenge to explain the infinite unknowns of the world; Robert has provided a profound service to help us begin the quest.
