This fascinating book provides a wealth of insights-all directing us towards bringing a re-union of soul and spirit. The teachings speak to the possibility of becoming both ’fully human and fully Divine’ while uniquely contributing to ’making this world a haven of peace and goodness.’ The discourses address the life of a householder and take us again on a pilgrimage. This pilgrimage, deep into Nature’s Cathedrals in North America is where Yogacharya David and Carla seek nature’s healing messages.
Yogacharya asserts that the key to gaining spiritual freedom is to learn from experience, be a keen observer of cause and effect, and realize that we can come out of a shadow existence. By embracing the wholeness of our spiritual birthright, we can manifest all that we are in truth. In these 2015 discourses, Yogacharya David reminds us that darkness can descend on humankind and this beautiful planet unless we reawaken our wisdom and reactivate soul-force through aspiration for Light, Truth, and Love.
’Make your life an epic in which Light triumphs over darkness, discover vast realms of Spirit within, and be a blessing to all whom you meet.’
About the Author: Gathered here, we have a masterful series of discourses from a Western Yogi who found his way out of the reality-box of materialism and the five-sense bounded nature of Western education. Join Yogacharya David as he seeks the Infinite Soul-Force-his and our unique spiritual heritage. He inwardly experiences the path that is seeded in the sovereign heart of every individual. As we take this marvellous but sometimes perilous pilgrimage of sacred Self-discovery alongside Yogacharya David, we too can embody more conscious soul-force and birth a new re-union of soul and spirit.

Om författaren
Ruth M. Lamb, BA, MSN, Ph D., health care professional, author, and editor began her career as a critical care nurse. Following this, she became a corporate Director of Nursing and then moved from conventional Western medicine to study other healing modalities. She completed programs addressing the mind-body epigenetic connection and the electromagnetic-light body bioelectric mechanisms of health and healing. She then joined an academic institution where she was hired to develop and teach integrative healing programs, taught in Canada and led internships to India. Adult participants in the foundational three-year program completed clinical practice hours and internships in numerous conventional medicine settings under academic-hospital arrangements. Shorter retreat-based strategic resilience programs were developed specifically for First Nations groups and for First Responders.In addition to writing numerous curricula, Standards of Practice documents, and articles, Ruth has written two books: The Sadhana of Healing: A Subtle Energy Approach to Addiction Treatment and Human Becoming: A Guide to Soul-Centered Living.Ruth is a wife, mother, and grandmother. She has made many trips to India to study the Vedic system of living and healing. She continues to study the integral, multidimensional relationship that leads to vibrant health and a well-lived life.She is currently editing the life work of Yogacharya David Hickenbottom, a Western yogi of the Kriya Yoga tradition, at the invitation of David’s wife, Carla. Yogacharya David left a legacy of accessible teachings, he reminds us that our sacred connection bridges physical to energy-body, mental, intuitive/transpersonal and spiritual, all in one unique human being. Ruth sees Yogacharya David’s legacy writings to be capable of nurturing us back to our true origin in spirit; they can assist us to re-remember our unique purpose-the purpose that brought us to this realm of physical matter.
