Cracking the Glass Darkly: Discovering the Power and the Ecstasy of Your True, Cosmic Self

"The Glass Darkly" is a 2,000 year-old phrase summarizing the suffering of humanity. Plato, Socrates, St Paul, the Buddha and others knew it as a prison, a cave, a block to spirituality. The good news is that there is a way to go beyond the Glass Darkly, easily and effectively, no matter what your suffering might be. The book covers four major steps found on the path to Cosmic Consciousness. (1) Dissolving the Glass Darkly, that's the negative ego that plagues humanity; (2) Freeing yourself from the past and the future and living ecstatically in the Here and Now; (3) Loving yourself unconditionally and enjoying great physical, mental and spiritual health; and (4) opening yourself to True Self Awareness where you can understand the Cosmos, Infinite Intelligence, work with Universal Laws, and enjoy life with all its challenges and rewards. Is this a religious book? Not a bit. But you may well have a better understanding of your religion after reading it. It opens doors to your own spiritual understanding of what you are doing on Planet Earth and your role in the Universe. The book contains a fascinating training exercise: If there is anything you dislike in this book, simply watch your mechanical mind impartially, and note the results. Then ask yourself, "If I can watch myself thinking and reacting, who or what is the Watcher?" Welcome to the True Self! You've cracked the Glass Darkly and you're on the Way.
