“Excited about life? Or do the events of each day flow into an unending sea of gray? Are the sunny days too few and the cloudy days ever threatening? Is there a spring to your step and a twinkle of teasing in your eyes? Does a smile grace your lips and hope shape your vision? The search for a better life, an abundant life, seems to be humanity’s ever constant quest...” Spiritual Awareness introduces one to the joy of discovery. It is a discovery of the spiritual currents that flow within the present moments of the here and now. Amidst life’s ebb and flow, like the rising and falling tide, they are currents that form dynamic movements of spiritual realities. For the skeptic, it provides a vision of a reality that can be experienced beyond the crust of conventional culture. For the searcher, it reveals the mystery of beauty and wonder that lead to spiritual dimensions of worship. For those who suffer, it reveals the reality of a healing grace as spiritual insight reshapes the pain and suffering, consecrates it, and offers it as a humble sacrifice unto the Lord...in so doing, discovering God’s great mercy and comfort for the soul. Spiritual Awareness is an effort to combat the dullness and superficiality of our age. It seeks to probe more deeply into the mysteries that lie within the events of the common place by becoming increasingly aware of the presence and availability of the spiritual life. This awareness leads to an authentic life worth living only because it is steeped deeply in the greatest of all realities. This is true awakening. “All profits are intended to be given to charitable causes.”

Jesus’ spiritual practices examied for today's believers to follow

“Taking the Path to Spiritual Awareness” is a guide and explanation of a spiritual path that can be followed to find and realize your oneness with God. The book is organized into two sections. Section One is sub-titled “A Close Encounter with the Teachings of Joel S. Goldsmith”, and covers the events of an imaginary day spent with him. Section Two is sub-titled “A Closer Look at the Teachings of Joel S. Goldsmith”, and is in a step-by-step format where each step is built on an understanding of preceding steps, leading toward being able to live a life governed by the knowledge and practice of your spiritual reality. The book is based on the teachings of Jesus as interpreted by modern masters, which have already changed countless lives in terms of improved health, a surer supply, increased harmony, and an enhanced love for all beings.

This book is the mirror to my soul. It tells about how I felt when certain things came into my life. It also explains how I saw the things that God the Father created. It is a depiction of my feelings when I received the Spirit of the Lord and let Him lead me down the path of righteousness. I have been writing this book for over twenty years. It did not start out as a book, I first was just writing down my spiritual thoughts that the spirit told me to write in journals that I kept. The Spirit of the Lord would wake me from a sound sleep and through thoughts put these words into my head. My children are the ones who encouraged me to turn these writings into a book. I thought that was flattering and I considered doing so, but the spirit did not give me the go head until now. I guess He was not through telling me what to write. I kept reading my bible and going to church and getting closer and closer to my savior Jesus Christ. I literal fell in love with God the father and Jesus Christ the son. When I received the Holy Spirit I didn't know what was happening to me. I felt a burning sensation, as if I was on fire and I saw red when I closed my eyes. I went into a deep sleep and when I awaken in the morning I felt brand new. I wanted to pick up the bible and start reading what thus sayeth the Lord. That was the best feeling I have ever had, not even when I gave birth to my two children, did I feel that sensation. Getting to know God and feeling His spirit within you is the greatest feeling in the world. I was taught who God the father is and why Jesus was sent to die for us. I learned how to live a peaceful and joyous life and to keep them both in my sight, so that when I came to the light I could follow them. I was taught that I could receive eternal life, if I keep the faith, believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Confess that He died for my sins and turn from my wicked ways; be water baptized and spirit filled, than I would be saved. This is a wonderful feeling to have. I hope I give whoever reads this word inspiration to get to know the Father God and the son Jesus Christ the anointed one and let the spirit come in and have His will so that you too can experience the same feeling that I have.

For almost two millennia, the story of Jesus has shaped the lives of countless people. Yet today, even though the majority of us grew up in a culture suffused by the mythos of Jesus, many of us feel disconnected from the essence of his teachings. With Resurrecting Jesus, Adyashanti invites us to rediscover the life and words of Jesus as a direct path to the most radical of transformations: spiritual awakening. Jesus crossed all of the boundaries that separated the people of his time because he viewed the world from the perspective of what unites us, not what divides us. In Resurrecting Jesus, Adya embarks on a fascinating reconsideration of the man known as Jesus, examining his life from birth to Resurrection to reveal a timeless model of awakening and enlightened engagement with the world. Through close consideration of the archetypal figures and events of the Gospels, Adya issues a call to “live the Christ” in a way that is unique to each of us. “When the eternal and the human meet,” writes Adya, “that’s where love is born—not through escaping our humanity or trying to disappear into transcendence, but through finding that place where they come into union.” Resurrecting Jesus is a book for realizing this union in your own life, with heart and mind wide open to the mystery inside us all. With an all-new foreword by Episcopalian priest and scholar Cynthia Bourgeault.
