About the author

Leonard Jacobson is a mystic, author and teacher, deeply committed to helping others break through to the joyous experience of living in the NOW.

For the past four decades, he has shared a simple and direct way of awakening, infused with love, compassion, and truth.

Leonard teaches how to become fundamentally present and awaken into the truth of who you are, the truth of life, the truth of love and the truth of Oneness. He teaches how to arise in mastery of your mind and ego, so that you are no longer continuously and involuntarily pulled out of Presence.

Leonard’s teaching is about coming back to yourself in a full and complete way, so that you no longer lose yourself in others, or in your story. It is for all those genuinely seeking to awaken, who want to overcome the pain and limitations of the past, and open into a more loving and abundant world.

Leonard is the author of five books. He lives Wayzata, Minnesota and offers regular teaching sessions, workshops, and longer residential retreats in the United States, Europe, Australia and Asia.

My father lent me this book, within 10 pages I felt I needed a copy of it myself and ordered one.

In the first page are instructions on how the book should be read, the first time read it through in one go and then afterwards when you feel the need to, open to a random page and muse on the words.

It's a wonderful book, very insightful and beautifully presented, easy to read and comprehend if you're open to the information within.

I would have liked more fables, as each time I found one they always made me smile.

I've already recommended this book to 4 people having only had it in my possession for 15 hours. If you're reading this, then buy a copy.

Quite an inspiring read. Picking it up and opening a random page to read a passage, only to find it reflecting a part of my own life in that very moment was quite jarring but, in a good sense. Helps to put perspective on things and to remember to be spiritually awake.

This powerful book reveals the basic tenets of Leonard Jacobson's approach to spiritual awakening and enlightenment. Each page is a lyrically beautiful expression of an essential truth. Zen-like in its simplicity, it communicates directly with the heart and soul of the reader, gently inviting a response from the deepest levels of Being. This book is best read cover to cover, and then picked up again from time to time, choosing passages at random. Each reading will elicit different responses from the reader, sometimes challenging, sometimes provocative, sometimes deeply reassuring and affirming. This book is suitable for newcomers as well as experienced seekers on the spiritual path.

Not the usual New Age spiritual tripe. The dust jacket describes the author as a modern mystic. I think that is accurate - I don't think one could write something like this without a truly deep believe he has spiritual experience.
