- Latest Review: Sooner Secrets by Shelley L. Levisay
This is true indeed. The process of unbecoming to become one's truest self may not be what it taught in various religions. The good thing is that the author explained it really well. I am still trying to understand where this originates from.hannah_elf wrote: ↑23 Mar 2019, 20:10 I found the authors way of mixing various belief systems intriguing. In doing that, however, a contradictory view was shown in which he describes us to have everything already within us, while most religions teach us that everything we need and know is god-given. Definitely enjoyed reading about the authors journey and experiences, which allow for each and every person to make up their own mind.

You can imagine if this is the direction that will be followed. For me, the issue came up when the author was not ready to investigate any further about the God he was told about then comes on to state that Isness was more than God. Who is the Jesus in this book then?

I totally agree. I also disagreed with the reincarnation theory, but appreciated that the book was written so that each person could discover their own truth.cpru68 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2019, 01:58 I guess I enjoyed more of his conversations about the instability of the mind and the idea of vibration and frequency. So, I think each reader will find something in his book that resonates with them. I found the reincarnation part a little out there, but he did speak about not taking everything at face value. Just because someone says it’s the truth, doesn’t mean it is. So that’s what the book offers...various topics that appeal to some and not others. I think it’s a great way to examine one’s beliefs and think about why we adhere to them. This book does this perfectly.

I definitely agree with this. Most people are very particular about their practices and the reasons and manner in which they are done so it might be abit risque to mix practices but it definitely speaks much of his open-mindedness and brings awareness and acceptance regarding other beliefs etc.

I agree! Personally, I believe in the concept of reincarnation too. I found that part very interesting. I also plan to use his meditation techniques, hard as they seem to be. Mixing of various ideas definitely kept the book interesting for me.Chikari wrote: ↑01 Mar 2019, 12:35 I enjoyed that there are multiple spiritual and religious ideas referenced throughout Unbound Soul. What do you think about Haight mixing these practices together?
I think it makes his methods usable by more people. Having options is always good and he does a great job explaining why he uses each practice. For example, I really enjoyed his discussions regarding meditation and reincarnarion.
