Product Description

Michael Bernard Beckwith -- the dynamic spiritual leader who touched millions of readers and viewers in The Secret and through the spiritual community he founded, the Agape International Spiritual Center -- is now sharing his transforming central message and his powerfully accessible means for embodying that message in daily life, a process he calls "aspiring toward spiritual liberation."

Michael Beckwith teaches that inner spiritual work, not religiosity or dogma, liberates us. He draws on a wide spectrum of ancient wisdom teachers such as Jesus the Christ and Gautama the Buddha; contemporary spiritual luminaries Thich Nhat Hanh, Sri Aurobindo, and the Dalai Lama; and Western contributors to the New Thought tradition of spirituality such as Emanuel Swedenborg, Walter Russell, and Dr. Howard Thurman to create a profound new belief synthesis.

Either read silently or aloud, Spiritual Liberation can be included during meditation or prayer. Each chapter includes an affirmation that distills its core concepts into a sentence or two for the reader to easily practice throughout the day. Beckwith's personal and touching accounts guide the practitioner to integrate and activate the intrinsic gifts of divinity into everyday life.

The core concepts of Beckwith's teachings are cohesively conceived and convincingly stated in the provocative chapters of Spiritual Liberation. Topics covering "Evolved People," "Transportation to Trans-formation," "Transcending the Tyranny of Trends," and "Inner Ecology" are some of his foundational teachings that bring together insights from a range of spiritual paths to form a coherent practice that is neither Eastern nor Western but truly spiritually global.

Regardless of their belief system, readers will find it impossible to finish this book without at least a few "Aha!" moments.

This is the next textbook on spiritual principle
I have read Tolle, Ernest Holmes, Troward, Emma Curtis Hopkins, Joel Goldsmith, Howard Thurman, OSHO, the bible, Lao Tzu, the Gita, Pema Chodron, Robert Thurman, Course in Miracles, + .

This book is THE NEW TEXTBOOK on spiritual principle written in today's vernacular to the NOW consciousness that has awakened through out the planet. Spiritual principle doesn't change, Michael is writing about ancient wisdom to today's audience. The message is LOVE always, gently reminding us that it is our inner work that creates what we see in our "exterior life." Different than Tolle in that Michael stays in absolute principle while giving very practical tools to use in spiritual practice. It's like the Tao Te Ching and Confucius-ism combined!

This book stands the test of time.

Wholly Excellent!
This is the book we've all been waiting for! I've been listening to Michael Beckwith speak and teach and share this wisdom since 1994 and he has beautifully articulated the strengths of his teaching.

It truly does not get any better than this - if you are interested in a book that is both profound, deeper than deep and easy to understand, accessible - THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!

My personal opinion is that this book is worth Michael Beckwith's weight in gold - I kid you not.

I've never found a better spiritual teacher - I've heard SO many of them and Reverend Dr. Michael Beckwith has truly gifted us with his clarity and insights. Buy this book, study it, celebrate yourself and thank God for everyone that had a hand in putting this book into YOUR hand! No kidding - I really mean it!

Simply Amazing
It really doesn't matter if you're new to this kind of material or you've spent your life's journey discovering how to dive deeper into the great understanding of what it really means to be awake in life, this book DELIVERS and offers something for everyone. And that's truly the gift of Michael Beckwith...his words, weather spoken or written, make you feel as if he's speaking directly to you. Oh...and the CD that comes with the book? The "SET YOURSELF FREE" talks from Agape? They are permanently lodged into my CD player so no matter what's happening on the 405 freeway, I just "set myself free" and listen to Michael. Read the book with someone you love because you'll have those intimate moments where you look at eachother and you don't have to say "I love you" because you both feel it, but you say it anyway because the material is written with love and compassion. Highly recommended.
