From the Introduction: The human potential is so much more than we can imagine. Our culture tells us that it is about climbing the ladder, financial success, developing our careers, using our various gifts to contribute to the gross national product. Yet for several millennia the true potential for we children of the universe -- made of the dust of stars and connected with all that exists -- has included so much more... Once we recognize this amazing potential, let us not keep it on a theoretical level. Each day, each moment is an opportunity to break through and experience this truth of our true destiny. Certain masters have called it "becoming transparent to the Divine" and the spiritual practices of many teachings help us to find our way through the fog of the illusions we have about ourselves. This book offers perennial and practical teachings enabling every spiritual seeker to access their deeper Self which is the doorway to encounter with the Sacred in daily life. This is Book One of the Transformational Wisdom Series.
