One of the most important forms of communication—intuition—is often overlooked or misunderstood by many people. In The Gift Within Us, author Mary Ann Bohrer explores the subject of intuition through interviews with scientists, paranormal researchers and 33 highly gifted intuitives from around the world who share their stories in individual profile chapters. Ultimately, we learn that every individual has access to this amazing divine wisdom simply by listening to our own inner voice. The process is simple, but the rewards are profound.
According to research, people are increasingly identifying themselves as “spiritual but not religious,” yet they don’t know how to satisfy their yearning for greater spiritual connection and understanding. In this insightful and groundbreaking book, the author outlines six simple steps to accessing our own inner voice, so that each and every one of us can tap into this incredibly powerful form of communication and divine guidance, The Gift Within Us.
I enjoyed this book very much. My favorite part of the book would be the interviews of the 33 intuitives who shared their experiences in discovering their spiritual and intuitive gifts. (I actually know one of the people interviewed. She had told me about the book.) To hear their stories and to watch their progress as they accepted their abilities was very interesting. A good book to read to give you a better outlook on living....and dying. I have to agree with the intuitives who state that death is not real. We cross over when we leave this earth to another "dimension" and continue on our paths in one way or another. A very interesting book.
I was looking forward to reading this book but was really disappointed. 95% of the book was simply short profiles/bios of numerous psychics. It quickly became VERY redundant. I was hoping for more of an exploration of the phenomenon of intuition and/or maybe how to develop it. This book is a boring drag
HIGHLIGHTS: 1. There is abundant bliss inside of us.
2. Once you become conscious and you know that your behavior is wrong, you need to be accountable. And we will be. - Everything is recorded. Everything is noted. We can redeem ourselves by being conscious and doing a better job while we’re here.
3. If people take the time to just listen, to pay attention to their inner voice, their inner guidance, they’ll take a giant step to becoming the best person they can be. - By elevating their consciousness as a human, they are also elevating their soul on the spiritual plane as well.
4. You can ask the spirit to give you a sign. It’s up to you to initiate this contact.
5. Life is temporary. Before we were born, we put a plan in place, and we live this life so that our souls can learn. This is why we come here. - We come here for the growth of our soul. And as hard as it is to live on this planet, in this dimension, our soul grows the fastest here.
6. Happiness only comes from our connections to each other and spirit. - When we hurt the earth and hurt each other, we fail. When we unite together, we thrive.
