Stepping Stones on the Spiritual Path
There will come a time, a moment, whether in this lifetime or in another, when the soul will reach a stage when it needs to know more. It will no longer be satisfied with ambling along. It wants to get hold of its destiny, face it, and see where it is going, what it has achieved, and what other lessons are needed And then the soul, of its own volition, will become the captain of its ship, it will guide its own destiny, it will face the turbulent seas and storms and steer it through to calmer waters.
This book offers a basic knowledge of spirituality. It answers questions that have been presented to the author over many years of facilitating workshops, giving talks, and seminars both in the UK and internationally. It also gives us guidance in how to find the inner self.
Here is a quote from the book:
As we continue the path and we start stripping off the layers that bind us, we will notice a different us emerging. That new person may be a little unfamiliar, a little uncertain, but at least it's a more honest person. Gradually we get to know this person better, and as our confidence builds up, we will find an inner surge of strength and fortitude to carry on even more strongly in our search. This inner person is the real us--the beautiful light that has been hidden behind the scars, the jewel that has been polished by all the experiences of our struggles and battles, the rose that has been waiting to blossom by all the fruits of our endeavours, the one true being who is one with the universe.

Religion has given God a pretty bad rap. Today most people have had enough of the lies, the hate, the corruption and the hypocrisy of modern religion. Some even deny the existence of any God at all. Still, the spirituality of living is undeniable. We all know there is something even if we do not know what. Even the least religious person identifies as some degree of spiritual.
But once the framework of religion, for better and for worse, is put aside, the field is wide open. Looking through the shelves of books on spirituality you can get sucked into some grade A horse shit. Any psychotic can write down their delusions and pass them off as facts, and plenty of them have.
This book addresses universal principles and cuts through the rubbish to zero in on what is essential to all concepts of spirituality. It isn't quite neutral on the level as a good comparative religions book. The author does go into her own concepts of 7 major rays of creation that she says everyone is born under one of, but it is as close an examination as is available on a bookstore shelf.
I really wanted to give it 4 1/2 stars because I truly believe a better book is possible even tho there isn't one yet, but the only options are 4 or 5 so, rather than cheat it out of a deserving half a star I'm giving it the 5.

This is a Goodreads Giveaways win. Interesting book but way too much esoteric for my taste.

Great book
Read
July 20, 2017 DNF. Starting this book I immediately knew it was not for me. Know we are Spirit beings as believers in Jesus Christ. So many spirit folks think any path leads to our God. Not so. Thanks to Goodreads.
