Spiritual and Self-Help Books Share Circle discussion
Introduce Yourself

I'm the author of "Adventures of a Western Mystic: Apprentice to the MastersPeter Mt. Shasta, which is an account of my experiences meeting Saint Germain and several other ascended masters in physical form. They gave instruction on the I AM, which was first introduced to me in The Impersonal Life, and later through Unveiled Mysteries by Godfre Ray King (one of the best books you can read on awakening).
My next book, "Search for the Guru," which is the prequel to my other book, will come out in December. It is the story of my childhood, spiritual awakening, journey to India, travel with Ram Dass, meeting Neem Karoli Baba, Sai Baba, Anandamayi Ma and other saints and yogis. The true guru, of course, is your own higher self.
Many blessings,
Pete

On a personal note, I'm a college instructor and storyteller by default. In the middle of a crisis moment, the story of Credere (Latin, to believe) came to me. It's a parable of our times written in the afterlife, heaven, a place of complete love. One question I have always been fascinated by is how imperfect human beings fits into a world, heaven, of complete love and acceptance (since most world religions encourage 'love' as our highest development of self). At the end of writing this novel, I found a lot of peace surrounding that question - at least, in my heart's space!
Additionally, I'm a mother of three young children and lover of the outdoors, especially hiking in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I look forward to learning with and alongside each of you! Peace. Love. Inspiration. Hermy x

Hi to everyone!
I am the author of, The Joy Channelings. I have been on a spiritual quest for over two decades, but I meandered through on my own as I was raising children. Along the way, I learned to channel and found an incredible new world available to me, where I could ask the Universe anything. It opened up my life in so many areas, and I am still a work in progress but I feel whole finally within myself.
My favorite spiritual books are written by Sanaya Roman and Abraham Hicks and Seth, of course :)
I love feeling energy and am attunded to Reiki Level I. My daughter is a Reiki Master and I am progressing at my own pace, but feeling energy is so amazing - I recommend it if you haven't tried it.
Again, nice to meet you all and I am going to explore...

An excerpt from "May a Christian Believe in Reincarnation?", an ebook available for FREE for two more days at Amazon. http://amzn.com/B00OM8A4NE
The reincarnation of the Prophet Elijah.
"I cannot resist giving one more Biblical instance–bridging both the Old and the New Testaments–of how the human drama can be played out over the “acts” of several births on the stage of this world. (This example, by the way, was pointed out to me by Bess Hibarger, a Presbyterian Sunday School teacher of long standing and great popularity, who at least once a year devoted one Sunday to the subject of reincarnation.)
"Ahab, the king of Israel, married Jezebel, who was a Gentile and an idolater. For these reasons, Elijah the prophet came to Ahab and challenged him, demanding that he rid himself of Jezebel. As could be expected, Jezebel decided that either Elijah or she had to go–and she preferred that it be Elijah. Though she had squadrons of soldiers searching for the prophet to kill him, he managed to elude them, and departed from this world still in hiding. Later, Jezebel died, but with the desire for the death of Elijah burning in her heart. Thus was the sowing; then came the reaping.
"As Jesus said, Elijah was born again as John the Baptist. Ahab was reborn as Herod, and Jezebel as Herodias, the wife of Herod’s brother. Herod broke the Law by marrying Herodias illegally, thus committing the double crime of adultery and incest. Just as in the previous lifetime, John came to Herod and demanded that he get rid of Herodias. Herod had respect for John, and so tried to simply ignore him. Finally, at the insistence of Herodias he imprisoned John, and ultimately Herodias got John’s head on a platter, fulfilling her desire of centuries."
—Abbot George Burke

So much so, I recently wrote one :)

My name is Ali Marsman; I am a published author/illustrator and classical pianist. I wanted to become a doctor from a very young age, but after being quite disappointed with not being able to continue university; I realized that a doctor had such a broad definition from what I understood as a child, and hope that me, my books, and music help to heal in the same manner that I would have, if I became that doctor!
With love and hope from,
Ali

I joined this group when I lived in Thailand a couple of years ago and am now based in Australia.
I worked in the advertising industry for 20 years, and in 2013 when I felt that my work no longer matched my values I decided it was time for a change. It was time to follow my bliss. It was at this time that I gave up the corporate world to travel, write, photograph and study psychology.
At the time it was a huge leap of faith. Moving from a world of complete security to a world of unknown challenges and opportunities certainly took determination. That leap has taken me on an inspired journey to what I considers to be a much richer life. It was goodbye to the corporate world of politics and games, and hello to really living again.
As well as travel all around Asia, I meditated at monasteries in Myanmar, studied Buddhism, completed an Ayurvedic detox, trekked in Nepal and had plenty of time to spend on my passions - writing and photography. I am now studying to become a Clinical Psychologist in Australia.
I tend to focus on the sacred, the spiritual side of life. My belief is that without the sacred we are not whole. The sacred is not about religion or old-school dogma. The sacred is simple. It's about life, being our authentic self, nature, connection and community.
I have written a book called Finding Your Bliss which is selling on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1GACTj9

Hello All,
Love to see a group of so many authors coming together. I've always loved reading books on enlightenment topics and never guessed that one day I would write my own. This is a journey I took while studying under a martial arts master and learned how to see the real world. I woke up out of the dream and wanted to share my experience for others as well. :) Enjoy.

Namaste,

I'm Gian Kumar. I'm a spiritual author. A thinker by nature, the inherent confusion and dogmas underlying religion, gradually impelled him towards spirituality. Today, I'm deeply grateful for a journey filled with opportunities to learn about existential riddles such as: Who am I? What is my purpose in life? Is God an illusion? I hope to share my own experiential learnings with others through the medium of my books.

Look forward to learning and sharing with you all!

I've joined this group this month. But don't think I've introduced myself. Allow me that opportunity now . . .
Nina Norstrom, here! I’m a writer/author/ volunteer. My preference of reading is non-fiction books. I think it’s interesting to discover the journey one has walked, and how it all plays out. Books of that genre can be very enlightening.
In addition to my reading and writing, I have a passion for volunteering. If you’re ever at a particular event, don’t be surprised if you see me. ‘Cause I just love to give back my energy, through volunteering.
As an author of Writelife Publishing, “Not a Blueprint: It’s the Shoe Print that Matter: A Journey Through Toxic Relationships,” is scheduled to be released April 5, 2016. We are living in turbulent days, and our culture is clouded with a mass of toxicity. Every one of us experiences some form of toxic relationship. Relationships aren’t necessarily with people. We can have toxic relationships with alcohol, animals, battlefields, diseases, drugs, environments, religions, and even our own emotions. On a spiritual level, I've learned through my journey that one may give up on God. Yet, HE never gives up on them.
And it can also offered the opportunity to learn and grow. This is my story of those lessons learned and the shoe prints they have left on life. Preorders are available at a discount.
Great news, my website has just been completed at, www.ninanorstrom.com
Thanks for having me as part of the group! Looking forward to the interaction . . .

I hope your Thanksgiving day was a blessed one. And may you find more blessings in store. Happy Holidays to you all!

I love reading books that inspire me and help me become a more awaken individual. I love reading about different topics including ALL things spiritual, energy, consciousnesses, meditation, yoga, self help and reading about ancient civilizations, alien theories etc.
I am looking to meet other people who share the same interests as me and to swap book recommendations and talk about books that have had a profound effect on them.
I have a blog where I share my thoughts on spirituality, nature, reflection etc.

Award winning and Amazon Best Seller, The Six Principles of Enlightenment and Meaning of Life is a concise 13,000 word spiritual self-help book.

The Six Principles of Enlightenment and Meaning of Life synopsis:
All enlightened beings, most founders of religions and many renowned scientists knew and understood the six principles of enlightenment. These universal truths have been written about, taught and discussed for thousands of years and yet remain shrouded in mystery and misinterpretation. This book seeks to remove that shroud by explaining the six significant universal truths woven throughout science, religion and philosophy. These principles draw upon thousands of years of wisdom and are presented in a concise, accessible format. Each principle is defined, explained and supported by quotes from enlightened beings, philosophers, artists and scientists like Buddha, Albert Einstein, Rumi, Stephen Hawking and Jesus. To understand the six principles of enlightenment is to understand the meaning of life.
Best Selling and Award winning author Russell Anthony Gibbs is a philosopher and spiritual seeker on a quest for enlightenment. In writing this book he has researched Bahaism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, Sufism and Taoism. In addition to religion and philosophy, he has incorporated quantum mechanics, physics and psychology and studied the works of Albert Einstein, Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud and Stephen Hawking. Russell’s communication style has been described as “Espresso Wisdom,” consisting of short, strong, rich insight. As the first in a planned 8 book series, it has already amassed a positive following and reached #12 on the Amazon Hot New Releases for Spiritual Self-Help in its first 30 days.
“A wise, encouraging, and potentially life changing book that will fascinate and inform all those seeking spiritual truths and enlightenment.”
--Hilary Hawkes for Readers' Favorite
