TRAINING FOR THE LIFE OF THE SPIRIT IBD

Sinopse

Introducing new reprints by Gerald Heard: The Creed of Christ The Code of Christ Training for the Life of the Spirit Prayers and Meditations''There was a period in my early thirties when these four small books by Gerald Heard served almost as my bible. I read and reread them, and invariably found them to be uplifting and inspiring.'' - Professor Huston Smith''Gerald Heard was an inspiring voice for the life of the spirit. Wipf & Stock is to be commended that Heard?s remarkable work is being made available to a new generation of spiritual seekers.'' - Dr. William H. ForthmanRequired reading for those walking the spiritual path, Gerald Heard?s Training for the Life of the Spirit methodically outlines the entire course of the aspirant?s journey. Heard provides a time-tested roadmap for the wayfarer: ''There is a purpose in evolution - to evolve consciously, to evolve consciousness. That evolution is achieved only by the skilled, conscious training of our spirits.'' The aspirant works to subdue their ego: ''For in so far as we are emptied of self, so far are we freed from accident. Our habit patterns, our moods...our natures can be reconditioned, re-freed. We will be inwardly reunited, our fissured selves re-fused.''Training for the Life of the Spirit contains Gerald Heard?s essential observation: ''Our whole life must become intentional and purposive, instead of a series of irrelevant events, adventures, and accidents, happy or unhappy.''
