"This incredible book describes the purpose and the way of the journey of Soul. It offers a loving hand to the spiritual those of us for whom traditional religion and New Age practices leave the inner thirst unquenched. Mr. Holtje gives rich insights into soul's journey, including fascinating descriptions of the many ways that we get side-tracked and misled in our search for truth. Clear explanations to challenging spiritual questions are detailed in an understandable, rational, yet heartfelt way."
If you're a seeker of truth who is still searching for a teaching and a path that delivers on the promise of spiritual attainment, that delivers what it promises, this may be a book for you to look into. In lucid descriptions based upon personal experience, Mr. Holtje explains the unique path of Sound, which in the East is known as the path of Surat Shabda Yoga. In "From Light to Sound" he describes an American embodiment of these teachings, a path intended, without diminishing the august power of the teachings to any degree, for the American or Western individual. I recommend it with all my heart to anyone who has exhausted numerous paths and still has not found what one is seeking.
This is a fantastic book that I return to time and again. Written in a very accessible voice, it addresses among other topics, the similarities between religions and how they all speak of the same truth and originate from the same one unitary stream. Super easy to read, organized into short chapters, and very well focused on its handful of topics, it's a winner in my list.
This book is very friendly in tone, easy to read, easy to find oneself returning to time and again for specific re-reads. The topic is a refreshingly new approach to an ages old perspective of how far esoteric spirituality reaches; a topic rarely addressed at the level this author reaches.
