One Self: Life as a Means of Transformation

One Self: Life as a Means of Transformation

by PhilipJacobs (Author)

Synopsis

We can start to find meaning in our lives when we see all the varied things that happen to us, including illness and bereavement, as part of the process of letting go of lesser levels of identity. We can then find our true Being, one that is ever present and beyond change and suffering. We learn to trust the process of life's unfolding, as we are led on a journey to discover a great treasure that we all possess, yet are unaware of. In doing this we also prepare ourselves for that ultimate moment of letting go, the death of the physical body.

Media Reviews
So many books of personal philosophy and psychology today get bogged down in bias and belief. This is a rare exception. Philip Jacobs cuts to the heart of the philosophy of non duality, writing from personal experience, and leads us down a simple path that all can follow. The more people that buy this book the better the world will be because everyone will be happy with their own circumstances. Martin Redfern, Senior Producer, BBC Radio Science Unit Philip Jacobs shows a profound understanding of the unity of life and the interconnectedness of everything within the world. He shows how events which may appear to be random can also be seen as part of our life's path when looked at on a wider time scale. He gives clear guidance on how to surrender to illness and see it as a positive event through which the individual can grow. He shows the importance of remaining in the now, where the action happens and where comfort and solace can be obtained. He has a fund of the most wonderful stories to illustrate his points. He discusses the true meaning of freedom and takes the view that we are all part of a single unity and that everything about our lives is taken care of when looked at from this broader perspective. This is a compelling and life enhancing book for anyone having to face a long term illness, but also so wise that it can help any of us to understand our path in life even if we are not so severely challenged.
