Take Me to Truth
Take Me to Truth: Undoing the Ego boldly
addresses the fundamental problem that all Spiritual seekers
face; the ego. A six-step navigational guide to Undoing the Ego.
Foreword by Gary R. Renard, author of The Disappearance of
the Universe.
I (Michael) recently reviewed this book:
Readers who are serious about awakening to their spiritual
reality will find much to assist and inspire them in this
illuminating and thought-provoking book. The authors'
inspiration is mainly drawn from A Course in Miracles,
resulting in a work that is both profound and practical.
The path of awakening, with its many traps, is clearly
explained and much help and encouragement is given the reader.
Poetry in Motions Films
Closer Than Close (80
min, DVD) examines the spiritual search – the search for the
essential questions of human life: Is there an eternal part of
ourselves? What has lasting meaning? Where do we find
certainty? Rather than philosophical discussion, it
explores living a life devoted to a search for answers, and the
radical possibility that answers exist, closer than we can
imagine, within our selves.

aspect of the Course's teachings (with examples from her own

Jesus: My
Autobiography
Channelled by Tina Louise Spalding
http://channelingjesus.com/books/
I first discovered A Course in Miracles at the Findhorn
Foundation, Scotland where I lived for 20 years. Later I started
to give workshops on it, publish books and start a website on A
Course in Miracles. From time to time I came across channeled
books that purported to come from Jesus. They often contained
helpful practical teachings but their metaphysics was different
from A Course in Miracles and often opposite and the teachings
on forgiveness lacked the power of the Course.
This is the first book I have discovered that feels truly
authentic and teaches forgiveness and the metaphysics as the
Course does.
Reading about Jesus's life made perfect sense and the teachings
in the second half of the book reminded me of the power and
purpose of forgiveness. What a powerful, compassionate and
loving book Tina has brought through.
I find many people find A Course in Miracles a hard read. Now I
can direct them to this book as a bridge to A Course in
Miracles.

with humility and compassion.

Adyashanti
.......................... A very clear teacher who
conveys his non-dual wisdom with humour and compassion. Author
of many books. Many talks available to download,
some free.
Until the summer of
her fiftieth year, Jan Frazier lived a life typical for a
well-educated, middle-class American woman. Then, in August
2003, she experienced a radical transformation of
consciousness. Fear fell away from her, and she was immersed
in a state of causeless joy that has never left her. While she
has continued her life as writer, teacher, and mother, she has
discovered it is possible to live a richly human life free of
suffering. Her wish now is to communicate the truth that
within every person is a pool of calm well-being that waits
patiently to be stirred to life.
When
Fear Falls Away: The Story of a Sudden Awakening (Weiser Books, 2007) is Jan’s
day-by-day account of the shift in consciousness and its
alteration of her life.
The
Freedom of Being At Ease with What Is. The Freedom of
Being invites the earnest seeker to take an honest look at
what motivates the spiritual life. Is the deepest longing to
become radically free, to directly encounter the truth, to
live in the real world without the limitation of
mind-generated identity? Or is the longed-for thing simply to
live a happier life, to feel better, to suffer less? This book
helps the reader to sort out one from the other, and then
offers clear, life-changing guidance toward each end.
Opening
the Door-Jan Frazier Teachings on Awakening. (eBook
only) An eBook collection of essay teachings originally on
Jan’s website. The book opens the reader’s awareness to the
possibility of a richly human life, beyond what appears
possible to the ego and the mind. The teachings point to
unresisting present-moment attention, where the truth of
existence is known. Jan Frazier’s teachings are drawn from
direct experience, relying on no particular tradition or set
of beliefs.

Namaste Publishing.................Publishes "THE POWER OF NOW" by Eckhart Tolle. The author explains from personal experience the power of living in the now moment.
"Having access to that formless realm is truly
liberating. It frees you from bondage to form and identification
with form. It is life in its undifferentiated state prior to its
fragmentation into multiplicity. We may call it the
Unmanifested, the invisible Source of all things, the Being
within all beings. It is a realm of deep stillness and peace,
but also of joy and intense aliveness. Whenever you are present,
you become "transparent" to some extent to the light, the pure
consciousness that emanates from this Source. You also realize
that the light is not separate from who you are but constitutes
your very essence."
Eckhart
Tolle Information ..................The site includes
quotes, excerpts and reviews of his books. It also features
interviews with Eckhart, and articles about him.
The Work Foundation................Publishes
the teaching materials of Byron Katie. After experiencing a
powerful inner transformation Byron teaches people that what
disturbs them in the world is a mirror to what is unhealed in
themselves.
"I have simply stopped arguing with reality. How do I know the
wind should blow? It's blowing. How do I know this is the
highest order? It's happening. Arguing with 'what is' is like
teaching a cat to bark. It’s not very fulfilling. I am
my friend and no longer confused. The way I know that reality is
good is that when I argue the point I experience tension, fear
and frustration. I lose - not sometimes, but 100% of the time.
It just doesn't feel natural inside: no balance, no connection.
I want reality to change? Hopeless. Let me change my thinking.
Some of us mentally argue with 'what is.' Others of us attempt
to control and change 'what is,' and then tell ourselves and
others that we actually had something to do with any apparent
change that took place. This leaves no connection or room for
God in my life. In the peaceful experience of no opposition to
God, I remain aware of my nature: clear, vibrant, a friend, a
listener."
Ramana Maharshi..............................Official
web site of a teacher of non-duality.
"What is
called 'mind' is a wondrous power residing in the Self. It
causes all thoughts to arise. Apart from thoughts, there is no
such thing as mind. Therefore, thought is the nature of mind.
Apart from thoughts, there is no independent entity called the
world. In deep sleep there are no thoughts, and there is no
world. In the states of waking and dream, there are thoughts,
and there is a world also. Just as the spider emits the thread
(of the web) out of itself and again withdraws it into itself,
likewise the mind projects the world out of itself and again
resolves it into itself. When the mind comes out of the Self,
the world appears. Therefore, when the world appears (to be
real), the Self does not appear; and when the Self appears
(shines) the world does not appear. When one persistently
inquires into the nature of the mind, the mind will end leaving
the Self (as the residue). What is referred to as the Self is
the Atman. The mind always exists only in dependence on
something gross; it cannot stay alone. It is the mind that is
called the subtle body or the soul (jiva)." From "Who Am I?"
J. Krishnamurti
.................................Contains excerpts from his
teachings.
"I claim that the truth is a pathless territory. And one cannot
approach it by any path, by any religion or sect. This is my
point of view, and I hold it absolutely and unconditionally ...
Once you have understood this, you will see how impossible it is
to organize a belief. A belief is an individual matter, and you
cannot and must not organize it. If you still do it, it dies, it
crystallizes itself and becomes a belief system, a sect, a
religion, which will be forced onto others. Everybody throughout
the world tries to do that. The truth becomes narrowed and a toy
for those who are weak, who are only temporarily dissatisfied.
The truth cannot be lowered, but each one has to come up to it.
You cannot take the top of the mountain into the valley ..."
from his speech when he dissolved the "Order of the Star"
Nisargadatta
Maharaj .........................Comprehensive
quotations from 'I Am That'
Discover all you are not. Body, feelings, thoughts, ideas, time,
space, being and not-being, this or that - nothing concrete or
abstract you can point out to is you. A mere verbal statement
will not do - you may repeat a formula endlessly without any
result whatsoever. You must watch yourself continuously -
particularly your mind - moment by moment, missing nothing. This
witnessing is essential for the separation of the self from the
not-self.
Do understand that you are destined for enlightenment.
Co-operate with your destiny, don't go against it, don't thwart
it. Allow it to fulfil itself. All you have to do is to give
attention to the obstacles created by the foolish mind.

Gina Lake
Gina has channelled a series of books from Jesus and one from

Gina Lake is the author of over twenty books about awakening to
one’s true nature, including From Stress to Stillness, All
Grace, In the World but Not of It, The Jesus Trilogy, A Heroic
Life, Trusting Life, Embracing the Now, Radical Happiness, and
Choosing Love. She is also a gifted intuitive with a master's
degree in counseling psychology and over twenty-five years’
experience supporting people in their spiritual growth. Her most
recent books were received from Jesus in the same way that Helen
Shucman received A Course in Miracles. Gina’s website offers
