Each time we feel uplifted or inspired, we are touched by Spirit. In fact, Spirit surrounds and interpenetrates us in every moment. Spirit is always present just as the sun is always shining above the clouds. Our lack of inspiration is not the absence of Spirit in our lives, but rather, a lack of awareness. From a conventional view, this book can help you to create a more successful life by reducing or eliminating self-sabotage, strengthening your will, leading to improved energy and health, financial stability, as well as generating greater compassion, perspective, and humor, and more harmonious relationships.
Spiritual evolution involves the ascension of attention up through the twelve gateways.
In other words, until we have addressed the more primal survival and safety needs, we don't have energy or attention for higher social or spiritual concerns. Putting it more positively, as you resolve the issues of each gateway, you release attention previously bound by those issues to rise, like a balloon, to higher levels of experience. Life's challenges remain, but as your perception and awareness expand, the journey is filled with light. You become begin to see Spirit everywhere, every day, in everyone and everything. Welcome to the path of the peaceful warrior, where everyday life is your journey and your adventure.
