A PRESENCE TO WATCH OVER ME One night just before I was born, my mother had a vision. She woke up to a brilliant light at the foot of her bed. It was a tall, pulsating column of white fire. "That's the Presence of God," she said to herself. It filled her with a feeling of calm and comfort. She knew that it would see her safely through the birth and watch over her child. That Presence of God, sometimes called the Higher Self, did keep watch over me, through major and minor childhood mishaps and serious adult challenges. And it has also been my unfailing source of love, guidance, inspiration and limitless spiritual energy. I never know when my Higher Self is going to step in and make a difference in my life. For example, one fine spring day when I was at Boston University, I was hurrying out the door of my dorm when I heard an inner voice say, "Put on your heavy winter coat." I knew which coat. It was thick and lined with fake alpaca fur. I thought to myself, "OK, this is the craziest thing I've ever heard of, but I'll put it on." But my Higher Self wasn't satisfied. "Put on your heavy gloves," said the voice. "This is not for real," I said to myself. "I'll put on the coat, but I am not going to put on these heavy gloves. It's just too hot!" So I put on the coat and ran down the street, nearly late for my class. I crossed a street between some cars that were stopped at a light--and bam! A bicycle came speeding alongside one of the cars and ran right into me. It knocked me to the ground and I caught myself on my unprotected hands. I landed in a jumble, with my body insulated by the coat but my hands scraped up. My Higher Self had saved me from serious injury, but it couldn't save me from my own stubbornness. The lesson I learned that day is that being in touch with my Higher Self is more valuable than anything else in my life. The idea that each of us has a personalized Presence of God with us, is not new. Throughout history people have seen the Presence of God. They describe it as light, power and glory. It is the star that the wise men saw as they searched for the child Jesus. It is the pillar of fire that guided the children of Israel through the desert and the glory of God that appeared to Moses, the prophets and the Jewish mystics. It is the Body of Truth that Buddhists call the "ultimate dimension." The Tibetan Book of the Dead tells us that this Body of Truth appears to people after death as a "vast mass of light." It is also an important part of Western spirituality. My mother had learned about it from the writings of Guy W. Ballard, whose "I AM" Discourses she kept on her nightstand. He writes of the I AM Presence as the source of all power, knowledge and love. My mother had also read the works of Helena Blavatsky, who founded the Theosophical Society in the nineteenth century. Blavatsky describes a "Spiritual-Divine Monad" as the source of life substance. Ralph Waldo Emerson writes of the "Over-Soul" as the principle that gives life to our bodies. He calls it a light that "shines through us upon things," the source of genius, virtue, love, "all wisdom and all good." When you feel at one with this Presence, you feel at one with all of life. The American mystic Howard Thurman wrote that at times he felt at one with a "presence" when he was fishing in a rowboat on the river near his home in Florida. "There were times when it seemed as if the earth and the river and the sky and I were one beat of the same pulse....There would come a moment when beyond the single pulse beat there was a sense of Presence which seemed always to speak to me....[Yet] there was no voice. There was no image. There was no vision. There was God." In the following pages, you will read about specific techniques to bring you into a state of oneness with that Presence, your I AM Presence. This is a state of knowing, of belonging, of remembering. You can use these techniques no matter what your religious background or practice. When you are in tune with the Presence, you will draw to yourself everything you need--from food and clothing to new friends and brilliant ideas. Even better, you will learn to enter that state of oneness at will and experience the joy, peace and empowerment that are your birthright as a son or daughter of God.

Prophet makes a esoteric subject practical
This was my first book reading the Higher Self when I put it 2 years ago. Over the course of the last 2 years I read many many new age and spiritual books discussing opening and awakening to your Higher Self...but no one wrote it as well and as simplistic as Prophet. Prophet excells when she is not talking about alchemy or lost years of Jesus, but more when she is talking about angels, abundance, and higher self. For whatever reason those are her strong points. Possibly because she does not channel the entities in these areas as much as in the previous, I dont know. I dont care either. The layout of this book is fantastic and Im quite surprised that the sales count for this book is so low. For everyone who wants to know how to access your higher self, your God-Self, this is the book to use. Prophet gives detailed meditations and mantras that work immediately upon the use of them. They are powerful, they are direct, and they are not meant for you to spend a life-time acheiving. If you dont believe me, buy the book!

I enjoyed this little book thoroughly
I think one of the best things in life is feeling that you have a sense of purpose, of who you are, of what is really worthwhile. This book has discusses your spiritual and physical existence and how we are really spiritual beings with a Higher Self and that that is our identity. It examines your spiritual anatomy, using a diagram called, The Chart of the Presence. It looks at where we've come from and where we're going...what we are supposed to be doing here on earth. I found the book to be practical as well as contain transcendent thoughts and anecdtotes. It's so easy to read! Oh, and it contains precise mantras (in English!) too. Most of all, i felt connected to God and so much closer. If you havent read it yet, it's likely to fill in gaps for you as it did for me. Reccommended.

One of the best practical hand books on Spirituality
This book is extremely helpful to those who are on they're own path to the truth about exhistance. I have had more help utilizing and experiencing both devine energies and my own energies with the help of this little book than I have from any other book in my esoteric and occult library. If you need to know answers of self-awareness; self-exspansion, self protection (From others and the self), an increase consciousness, than you should pick up this book and learn to commune with the higher self.
It's a cheap, pocket-sized powerhouse of affirmations that are effective and practical in life. Learning about the truth of what we are is truly rewarding. This author also has an educated back round on spiritually and religion such as: Judaism, Christianity, and Eastern religions (Check out her as an author along with her husband Mark Prophet). Great Book. "The violet flame: To heal body, Mind & soul." is a good companion book to this book and I would recomend it as well.
