Find your own way to Higher-Self development and liberation using a specially
designed program of spiritual development based on Yoga, Buddhism and
Transpersonal Psychology called Return to Spirit. This is a series
of six guidebooks which includes spiritual practices, exercises to give
you your own experience, information and suggestions of books to read that
will give you access to the spiritual classics. The set of guidebooks is
based on the Yogic chakra system and modern transpersonal psychology, and
it is intended to help you discover higher levels of awareness and return
to your divine identity. There are six guidebooks planned, one for each
level of spiritual development.
The first six: Book I. In the Beginning: Consciousness, Break from
Spirit, Book II. Emptiness to Form, Soul Loss, Book III. Broken
Will and Empowerment, Book IV. Broken Heart and Transcendence, Book
V. Surrender and Book VI. Balance are completed and available
to spiritual seekers. The Introduction should be read first to provide
a context and for background information. If you wish to work with these
materials, it is recommended that you download, save and print them out,
so you can do the exercises in comfort and at your leisure. Also, the units
should be done in the sequence presented as the process is cumulative. The
images are diagrams which help explain the text. They may be downloaded separately
from the units to which they correspond.
Note: The book, Emergence of the Divine Child, which is used as
a text in the first two guidebooks, is now being sold under the title,
Windows to the Soul.
These guidebooks have been accepted by the Parliament of the
World's Religions as a gift to the world community.
