In this book the author clarifies the fundamental difference between addressing an imagined "God" in order to receive desired benefits, and the spiritual transformation of one's inner life that is the precondition to establish contact with the eternal powers that are able, in reality, to offer help to human beings in distress. The book explains the underlying principles of real prayer, and how the art of conscious prayer functions in the Spirit's world. While effective prayer, not merely prattling litanies, is an essential source of strength and insight in this present life, its highest goal...

This book confirms, all atheists and skeptics notwithstanding, that faith in God is not the stubborn superstition of untutored or misguided minds, but the experience of an energy that reconnects the spiritual human being with the primordial Ground of Being that sustains all levels of existence. The God, however, whom enlightened faith has every reason to believe is not the mentally constructed phantom of theology full of contradictions, fraught with human flaws, unfeeling but omnipotent who created the ever-expanding universe in a few days, but a reality transcending intellect, philosophy and...

The Book on the Living God, The Book on Life Beyond and this book form a trilogy. These three books should be read together. The Book on Human Nature presents basic concepts about human nature with the goal of inspiring readers to awaken the timeless, spiritual spark within. We become fully human only when the spiritual potential within us gradually awakens and infuses our material, purely animal selves. It is a path that every human being may and should pursue.

The present book deals with a topic nowhere else discussed in the extensive literature on attributes of spiritual life; i.e., the intricate relationship between the Spirit's all-pervading, all-sustaining radiant substance, and the tangible and concrete forms in which this substance manifests its presence in material life.
