Apprenticed To Spirit: The Education of a Soul
An absorbing memoir of one man’s path to understanding how we can learn to lead lives of greater blessing and to be sources of blessing and service for the world as a whole.
For as long as he can remember, David Spangler has been physically aware of a spiritual world existing alongside this one. In 1965, David Spangler left college to follow an inner spiritual calling and encountered an extraordinary presence, which he named “John.” Over the next quarter-century John would assist David in exploring the “inner worlds” of the spirit, and would tutor him in some of the most basic mysteries of life and the nature of the human spirit. In Apprenticed to Spirit, Spangler recounts how John showed him the way to develop a spiritual intelligence—what Spangler calls “a mind of the soul”—and how to integrate it into everyday life. Spangler learned to think with his soul and embarked on the apprenticeship to understanding the sacredness of our world and of the realms beyond ours—a journey that continues to this day.

What would John say today?
What would John, David Spangler’s non-physical mentor, say to him now when David’s own spiritual work has lost honesty and integrity. Probably something like this: “A lie has no legs.” And I might add: “It is better to listen to your heart than to ignore your conscience.”

I liked David Spangler's view of the spirit world and his stories of how he learned to receive information from a nonphysical guide. He has been aware of spirit since his youth, and this book shares the history of his experiences. Spangler includes how he receives his information from his spirit guides, and the ways he learned to communicate with his spirit teachers. Spangler was also at Findhorn right after its inception, helping create programs and work with the co-founders. His history is fascinating and I recommend reading this book!
