CinWin wrote: 02 Mar 2019, 13:22 The author said his deepest prayer in writing this book was to be of assistance to others. Did he achieve this, and in what way did he help you? For me, it gave me the knowledge that life is very synchronistic. What you need to learn will be provided, so quit stressing so much. How about you?
This book really helped me. It was nice learning the experience of one's spiritual journey. He really motivated me and gave me a true picture of what it means to be hungrily purpose driven.
I love that - "hungrily purpose driven" !! :tiphat:

The bright aspect of truth expressed in the book is life-giving and life-changing! We learn that the struggles that we are facing have an end! I would call the book a must-read for spiritual aspirants. The thought of sheer spiritual life is taking form and shape in my heart rather than spirituality being only one of the many activities of my routine!

He arrived at the core of the teaching of Christ and others such as Buddha. The core was 'Unconditioned Love' which the author explains at the end of the book. In my opinion, his mission was accomplished.

In my case, he provided a means of reviewing alternative ways of explaining things. But overall, I think his ideas are not new, they are based on Eastern religious teachings, which he is trying to bring mainstream.

I also believe that it is important to have spirituality, not only in you actions, but to also have it reside solidly within your heart. Thanks for the insight. :tiphat:

I found many of his ideas were pertinent to my life and reinforced the decisions I had made. Some things were less pertinent, but interesting all the same. Alternately, some ideas were less useful for me, but for some, they may be helpful.

Thanks for the comment. I find that with a book like this, if I pick it up in a year from now, the things that were not pertinent to my life apply now. And visa-versa. Ah...the continuum of life.

I felt the same; Haight explained things, where I have either read from other books or experienced personally, in a way that provided a deeper understanding. For me, I am perceiving the world differently in a better way.

I have personally benefitted by reading this book. Although I don't agree with everything he writes, there are several things he expresses very well. I got a better understanding of why one needs to shift focus from the mind to one's consciousness.

I have always known that stressing about things i don't have control over has no benefit so it was nice to read reassuring words from the author.

I got more insight into his prayer life by listening to his talks. They are interesting and helpful.
