My Boomerang Will Come Back: An Inspiring Story of Cause, Consequence & Kindness

By Lloyd Canty

The awe-inspiring sight of an adeptly thrown boomerang returning to its sender in perfect flight symbolizes the return of good we are looking for when our lives are suddenly impacted by unexpected events. My Boomerang Will Come Back is about dealing with the pain of loss and transition and coming back stronger and better. It is the compelling story of an Australian Aborigine, his walkabouts, his Dreamtime, his search for self & the good he once had. Once he learns about the Boomerang Effect, his life is transformed & his dreams are restored.

If you find your "boomerang" isn't coming back, this book will show you how to change your grip on life and start throwing yourself out there in a whole new way.

At the end of the story are a set of steps that will guide you to create a new dream for your life and get your boomerang to come back.

"I so enjoyed reading this story! Reading this made me realize I have been in the same place as the character in your book. I have been waiting for my boomerang to come back while life is rapidly passing me by. Now I finally have the right steps to move forward! You are a good writer and a great story teller! I loved it!" Joanne Marie – Botswana, Africa

"As a boomerang thrower, I fully endorse this book as an excellent foundation to anyone's life who seeks total prosperity. Let me know when your next book is finished, would love to be one of the first to read it." Mike Kern - Maui, Hawaii

From an early age, I was curious about spiritual things. I wanted to learn as much as I could about the reason for my existence. In my teens my daily practice included meditation and Hatha Yoga and and I focused my studies on both Eastern and Western aspects of spirituality from the tenants of mainstream and Esoteric Christianity to the principles of Buddhism, Metaphysics, Theosophy and Mysticism. I also spent time learning the finer arts of boomerang throwing from an elderly Australian Aboriginal. He started my interest in the mystical Aboriginal practice of Walkabout and DreamTime. I figured that if Aboriginals have successfully practiced the art of Walkabout for a few thousand years, I might as well give it a try. So, after completing my academic studies, I left Australia and went Walkabout on my own spiritual trek. My journey led me throughout Europe and the United States where I sojourned at key spiritual centers on both continents. By a strange twist of fate I ended up working for an extremely wealthy family in the southern part of Switzerland. After a few years I traveled to Mt. Shasta, California. Many of my free hours were spent contemplating that most glorious of mountains. After four years of relatively reclusive living, I headed south and eventually created a successful company called Longevity Formulas. My wife and I later moved to Hawaii where I worked for a major international corporation. While living on Maui, I was instructed by two of the most preeminent Aikido teachers in the world: Suzuki Sensei and Curtis Sensei, together with Vipassana training by Kamala Masters and Steve Armstrong. During that time, I experienced a serious spinal injury. The Walkabout I had begun so many years before had now turned into a Walkabout through the Dark Night of the Soul, where everything in my life began to fall apart and was stripped away. It was during this time of renewed walkabout that my life began to take on a whole new meaning. This process inspired me to write about these steps, knowing that so many people are going through dramatic life changes. I decided to put all that I had learned in story form, the result being the publication of my first book, “My Boomerang Will Come Back” and subsequent series of Metaphysical novels such as, “The Blue Mountains” and it’s sequels, “Journey to the Temple of Mu and “Letters from Lemuria.” So many people have been impacted and inspired by these books. I will continue to write these stories for this reason.

Catching Up With Old Friends

On a balmy afternoon, as I sat relaxing with some of my closest friends sipping cold drinks and enjoying the exquisite view overlooking the Pacific Ocean, I found myself thinking about my first impressions of America and how it seemed like everything had changed so dramatically since I first arrived. I observed my companions and pondered the impact each of us felt in our individual lives by the restless tide of social, political and economic events that had been unfolding around us. It seemed like only yesterday that life was simpler, more carefree and everything was possible.

I recalled the last time we were all together just a year ago, and how we had recounted our achievements and successes and talked late into the night, sharing our goals and aspirations. This year the tone seemed different. I sensed an undercurrent of tension and uncertainty among our group. There was Duke, an accomplished Wall Street bond fund manager who had recently seen his clients' portfolios obliterated in the turbulent stock market decline; vivacious blonde Lisa, owner of a swank Beverly Hills beauty salon, managing to keep the lights on by working twice the hours with half the staff; Susan, a Hollywood movie critic and more cynical than ever, if that's possible; Randy, a Silicon Valley CEO, having to knock on every door and turn over every stone to find new venture capital that until recently seemed so easy to find; Joanne, only yesterday a nascent celebrity, destined for stardom on the stage, able to pick and choose her roles, now willing to take minor roles, any role in fact, even a supporting one; and Justin, an Internet marketing entrepreneur, managing to stay alive in an ultra-competitive online world.

Each year, one of the members of our small party took turns planning our annual get-together. These gatherings were a special time we all looked forward to. This year seemed like an extra effort for each of us to make it happen, but somehow we pulled it off. After bonding at a seminar in Monterey many years ago, we had made a commitment to each other that we would stay connected regardless of the separate paths we took. Though we all lived in different parts of the country, we stayed in contact with each other throughout the year. Our annual get-together was much more than a social opportunity to catch up and compare our lives, like at college reunions.

The purpose of our yearly meeting was to share meaningful insights gleaned over the past 12 months - anything that might be valuable to the group in terms of improving our personal and professional lives. We could do this via smart phone, but something about being together in person in a relaxed environment, away from family, work and all the responsibilities that come with day-to-day living, kept our eclectic group enthusiastic, energized and together. We normally met in some exotic spot around the globe. This year was my turn to host. I chose a special location in Hawaii as our meeting place.

Kicking back in a comfortable recliner, listening to the chatter of my friends, I found myself wondering where we would all be twenty years from now. How would each of us age? Would we still have these intimate, forward-thinking conversations or would we be reminiscing like old people enjoy doing. Maybe we'd be living vicariously through the lives of our grandkids? Would life circumstances cause some of us to drift apart and discontinue this special link of friendship?

As usual, our conversation jumped around. It included the latest
