- Book Synopsis
- A profound guide to embracing your Divine nature Explains how to embrace the paradox of the spiritual path-that we are already reflections of the Divine-and manifest our soul's transcendent nature in everyday life Provides contemplative and philosophical tools to support the journey to experience the Sacred Explores mythic stories of soul development and intuition found in Maya and Pythagorean traditions, ancient Egyptian thought, and Zoroastrianism In the mind of the Divine, every person has Infinite, Eternal, and Absolute Worth. But how do we manifest our transcendent nature in everyday life? How can we construct our lives in the material world so they reflect the Divine nature of our souls? Through his own story of spiritual self-realization, Douglas M. Gillette explores the paradox that lies at the heart of the quest for union with the Divine. As the author explains, those of us on the mystical path are each working on our souls to better reflect their Divine nature, yet we are already reflections of the Divine. To help you embrace this paradox, the author provides mythic stories of soul development and intuition from Maya and Pythagorean traditions, ancient Egyptian thought, and Zoroastrianism. He shows how embracing the power of emotions like wonder, dread, and awe provide a mirror that allows us to see ourselves as infinite and immortal persons on finite and mortal adventures. In addition to myth, the author's synthesis of Neoplatonism and Panentheism provides readers with contemplative tools to fulfill their mystical journey. Bringing together a wide range of contrasting worldviews and ideas assumed to be in opposition, the author shows how unifying views that are often considered polar opposites is a primary vehicle for actualizing our core purpose as souls in the physical world. He deeply investigates the emergence of personhood as we build our material lives, and he reveals the thrill of actually entering into the Sacred through the paradoxical journey of soul making-becoming in the physical world what we already are in the infinity and eternity of the Divine Psyche.
