Living In Grace: The Shift To Spiritual Perception - Audio

Prologue

This book is about perception and how to shift our perception to Living in Grace. This Shift of Perception will demonstrate the truth that we are all living as and in Grace now. There has never been a single moment that we have not or will not be Living in Grace.

However, in this place I will call the “Earth state of mind” there appear to be paths that we must walk to remember this fact. On these paths, we search for meaning, power, and reasons for our existence. Most people in the Earth state of mind walk the “material path.”

On this path, the Earth, the universe, and everything we are and do is material. In the material world, perception, physical power reigns.

Some of us have “upgraded” to the “mental path” of believing it is a mental world, and everything is within and of our own thinking. We use mind‐power to accomplish our goals and live a better life. In this point of view, the mind‐body connection comes into play. We begin to say, “I can do it! All I have to do is visualize enough, and get my mind and thinking straight.”

Mind‐power employs methods such as visualization and hypnotism to accomplish its goals. This mental path will sometimes diverge into another path, the path of mysticism.

The world today is fascinated by this mental or mystical power and is calling it the “Spiritual revolution”. Talk of God is accepted and is now found in all walks of life.

It is an improved point of view over the physical standpoint, but it is not the path where this book will take you.

There is one more path—and it is the path of One Mind, that path of non‐power, the true Spiritual path. This is The Shift to being completely conscious that all that we are, know, and see, is in truth Spiritual. This is Living in Grace.

It is hard to write a book about spirituality and make it practical at the same time. I have to use physical words and mental exercises to make a point. Sometimes I talk about “getting things” or “improving your life.”

However, getting things and improving one’s life is a result of the consciousness that this is a Spiritual universe, not my reason for writing this book. Getting things and improving life is not the point. An improved life is the fruit of the awareness of, and the living out of, the Truth that there is only One—of everything—and that One is Spirit. It is the choice to Shift to Spiritual Perception.

The Shift to Spiritual Perception explains the power of perception. It is our point of view, our perception that determines our world and the life we lead. This book presents The 7 Steps To Shift and an eight step‐by‐step system based on the word GRACIOUS, which makes the necessary process of perception‐shifting easy to remember and simple to use.

The book is an attempt to bridge the belief system of living in a physical world to the actuality that everything is actually spiritual. It is the best I know as of this moment. I know it to be true that it is a Spiritual Universe and that Heaven is here and now, because it is part of my experience.

How to remain in that consciousness, and how to communicate this understanding, is the path that I appear to be traveling.

There is no place on any path to stop and say, “I know it now, there is no more to learn.” Even as I write this book I am yielding, or dying, to the old “point of view” and improving my consciousness of the Spiritual One.

Follow the guidance in this book only as it appears as Truth to you. Use this book to guide you, but it is not Truth itself. As you use the tools in this book to change your point of view and your state of mind, you will find this out for yourself, and we will reunite together in the awareness of Grace.
