Written by internationally revered clairvoyant counselor and educator Ellen Tadd, The Infinite View is a spiritual classic in the making. People often lean towards either trusting their gut or relying on their analytical mind, but Tadd urges listeners to consider a new approach that allows both emotions and the intellect to be guided by wisdom. Through describing how the Spirit, soul, and personality are integrated, she guides listeners in deepening and expanding their perceptions to discover practical solutions to everyday challenges. According to Tadd, Spirit is the God Force that animates and empowers us and suffuses everyone and everything. But while Spirit is conscious and communicative, we haven’t been taught to look for or listen to it. In fact, most of us have been conditioned not to look or listen. When we choose to attune our conscious mind with Spirit, we find ourselves able to engage life with greater clarity—even when it tests us through illness, death, loneliness, anxiety, or fear. The Infinite View offers tools and insights needed to achieve this attunement. Drawing on her personal narrative, as well as the experiences of her students, Tadd helps listeners transform their understanding of themselves and the world around them.
I came across this book at the library, then purchased it after only reading the first chapter. I felt like it was a nice guide for meditation, and the way she talked about the spirit world and chakras made sense to me. I’m not very spiritual anymore and I’ve always been skeptical of reincarnation, or an after life, so I was somewhat surprised how receptive I was to her ideas of spirit, soul, and reincarnation. Regardless of that it does lay out a simple way to approach meditation and interesting ways to reframe ones thinking.
While the portion on learning how to meditate is clear and informative, the rest of the book is the author telling stories about her various ethnic ("Asian man" "native man on a horse") spirit guides and blathering about her unique "specialness". Genuinely can't tell if this is a grift or if this narcissist truly believes that she's a natural at every mystic technique she tries...
This is from someone who has practiced meditation and read tarot for my entire adult life. Not a skeptic at all, just very unimpressed.
Solid read. It was by no means a bad book, I just wasn’t into it. The author pulls a lot of personal stories and examples in her own life as to demonstrate examples of living spiritually. It felt like the authors journal in a sort.
One thing I’ve learned with reading spiritual books is that they mostly say the same thing, just different authors and different perspectives resonate with some people and others not. I have also come to realize most of this information we innately know, and sometimes it’s more advantageous to trust our knowing as we know it, letting go of the books & studying.
Interesting and inspiring. I love the suggestion of responding from the third eye perspective (and not from our guts) and the process of asking and listening to receive guide for the daily life (and our particular struggles). I find important too the stress on meditation, focus and concentration, something so difficult today.
I'm still unclear how this even ended up being on hold under my name at the library. It sounded interesting enough so I rolled with it, but man, not my fave. There were some good general mindfulness sort of concepts scattered throughout and I love a good anecdote but it all felt really stiff and overly formal. It's my 2017 version of The Art of Happiness I guess.
