We have all had moments that transcend ordinary reality, experiences
that reveal our connection to the Sacred, to the Living Energy of the
Universe. Yet many people brush off these flashes of spiritual wonder
and non-ordinary consciousness, not realizing they can be important
stepping stones on the spiritual path.
In this guide, Jonathan Ellerby helps you recognize the common ways
people encounter the Sacred--God, the Divine, non-ordinary
consciousness, and the spiritual world--so you can identify when you are
having a spiritual experience and embrace it as an opportunity for
spiritual growth, healing, and resilience. The author identifies the
seven most common ways we are touched by the spiritual world and shares
intimate, firsthand examples of his own profound encounters with the
Sacred, inspiring recollections of people he has met, and accounts of
mystics through the ages.
Exploring the non-ordinary modes of perception and the super-states of
consciousness that underlie them, the author details how spiritual
experiences happen, what they mean, and how they can help us cultivate
wholeness, creativity, and groundedness. Dr. Ellerby presents simple
exercises and sacred practices designed to expand perception, enter
non-ordinary states of consciousness, and encourage deeper experiences,
which in turn can enable you to have direct awareness and knowledge of
the Divine.
Providing a map for navigating the geography of sacred encounter, this
book helps you discover more spiritual wonder and face life with passion
and purpose.
