The Book of Light: The Nature of God, the Structure of Consciousness, and the Universe Within You

by Michael Sharp

The Book of Light: The Nature of God, the Structure of Consciousness, and the Universe Within You, is my theological and cosmological magnum opus. The Book of Light is a four volume, revelation of the high spiritual truths of creation. The treatise starts, in volume one, in the very beginning when only consciousness exists. After a brief discussion of the nature of consciousness as bliss, awareness, power, and love, we move on to describe the emergence of monadic awareness (the I AM presence), the Unfolding of Consciousness, and the emergence of a multi-dimensional, multi-nodal Fabric of Creation. Volume One of The Book of Light provides an accounting of The Unfolding up to, but not including, and explication of the The Watershed of creation that instantiated a physical universe like we know today.

Volume One includes the introduction of several novel and original spiritual concepts including, and also the clarification of many classic spiritual concepts:


The Fabric of Consciousness
The Unfolding of Consciousness
The Intensification of Consciousness
God with a big “G”
God with a little “g”
The “laws” of creation
The Watershed of Creation
The Multidimensional Universe
The Creative Moment
The dawn of the dimensions of creation, including time, space, and chance
The Sephiroth
The Tree of Life/Light

About the author

Michael Sharp is a sociologist (a PhD from the University of Alberta), a "mystic," a husband, a father, and a teacher. he was raised Catholic but gave up religion and spirituality at an early age (age 8) primarily because of all the (emotional, psychological, and physical) violence and hypocrisy that he. For decades he floated between a materialist atheism totally hostile to all forms of spiritual belief and a laid back agnosticism where he remained open to empirical convincing, but persistently doubtful about the possibility all the same. Then, one day back in 2002 a series of powerful mystical experience began that totally undermined the materialist foundations of his scientific world world and sent him plummeting down the proverbial rabbit hole. From that point on his life change. While he didn't give up his job, move to a mountaintop, and don a saffron robe, he did shift his research and writing interests as "information" (and lots of it) began to flow.

The first book to flow from his 'mystical" pen was a new creation story, a new story of Genesis. He called this story The Song of Creation. This revised creation story, this new "song of creation, was different than previous stories. Unlike so many previous "mystical revelations" that had been corrupted by venal social and economic interests, this story flowed powerful and pure. The story was devoid of the violence, hierarchy, exclusion, and judgment. In this canonical creation story, nobody gets punished, and nobody gets "left behind." You can read the beautifully illustrated Song of Creation for free by downloading it (http://datadump.thelightningpath.com/...). If you like the book, please support Michael's work by purchasing a table top copy.

Michael's work didn't stop with The Song. Pressure to write was intense and the information was copious and so followed poems, parables, books, and even scholarly articles. He wrote the Book of Life: Ascension and the Divine World Order, Dossier of the Ascension, The Book of Light: The Nature of God, the Structure of Consciousness, and the Universe Within You, and others. Like a lot of true mystics of the past Michael's work is copious and sweeping. Unlike a lot of other mystics in the past, it is still expanding and growing.

maybe 10 lines out of the whole book were worth the time, sadly the rest felt like reading through a promotional email that an online psychic would send to get you to pay for their services!

The Book of Light is probably the best Kabbalahist descriptions of the creation of consciousness that I have ever read. The author writes in an easy to understand conversational tone taking the point of view of the I (the I am, the Alpha and the Omega) to describe the reason for the creation of consciousness and the gradual unfolding of the various dimensions.

The author starts with the I discussing its existence and setting the stage for the purpose of consciousness. Next, this book describes the unfolding or Separation of the Waters where the plans and initial rules of energy are related. Finally, the author examines in depth how these aspects eventually made way for dimensions, how they exist, and what they represent.

I was really impressed at how the author not only explained these normally complex concepts in a way that beginners would have no trouble understanding but also managed to keep the concepts fully intact without any generalizations or reduction of the material. I was also impressed that the author managed to do so in a very precise well thought out manner that takes the reader from very simple ideas to much more complex aspects without overwhelming the reader with buzz words or overly large amounts of text.

This was a very interesting book that made me think although I am not quite a believer or unbeliever I enjoyed reading and seeing the thought process of the deity in this book. I received this book through a goodreads giveaway and would recommend it to anyway of spirituality.
