The Books and How To Read Them

All over the world, people are buying Sounds of the Trumpet and God is All. Both books are having an uptick in sales. To piggyback on this wonderful activity, I decided to write this post on how to get the most out of these books. Although I think it’s a great idea to read each book from cover to cover, your busy schedule may not permit that. So, below are my suggestions for the must-reads from both books.

God Is All

I know that you want your prayers to be effective – to yield practical results. Perhaps you, like many others, have tried many ways of praying and none of them “worked.” God is All can, I assure you, help you to pray more effectively.

Because this book is a short read, the temptation is to start with Chapter 1 and read to the end. Don’t do it. I suggest that you start with Chapter 3: Conscious Awareness. This chapter is the foundation for an effective spiritual practice, and it addresses most of your prayer questions, such as:

  • What is prayer?
  • How to pray?
  • How to pray when you have so many things to pray about?
  • What constitutes effective prayer?

After you’ve read Chapter 3, go back to Chapter 1. The order in which you read the remaining chapters is up to you.

Sounds of the Trumpet

This is a longer book with shorter chapters. If I renamed this book, the title would be Spirituality Made Practical. Many of the 30-plus chapters address issues you face in daily life. Each chapter is great and has its own merit. However, for your convenience I made a list below of must-read chapters.

Spiritual Living Day By Day

This is the first chapter of Sounds of the Trumpet. It is a basic primer on living Truth principles every waking hour. The Holy Bible states, “Thou shalt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee.” This chapter gives you tips on how to do that.

David And Goliath (1 and 2)

These two chapters reveal a spiritual approach to resolving any problem. The magnitude of the problem does not matter.

Rebuilding The Immune System

For the last few years, immunity has been a hot topic. From herbal concoctions to questionable shots, people are trying to stay disease-free. This chapter deals with total immunity – from disaster as well as disease.

Heavenly Bliss

How do you effectively restore a fractured or broken relationship? What is the key to trouble-free relationships? This chapter gives a failproof answer to these questions.

Thomas

This disciple doubted that Christ rose from the dead and demanded proof. Now he is known as “Doubting Thomas.”  This chapter reveals that the Thomas mindset can be a good thing. It can make the difference between merely reading Truth and seeing the visible evidence of Truth.

The Temple Of God

This chapter is about your Body. And what a wonderful Body it is! Yes, this chapter deals with the real nature of your Body as a spiritual presence.

CONCLUSION

Whichever book and chapters you read, remember this: THESE BOOKS ARE TO BE LIVED AND NOT MERELY READ.

I Urge You To Reconsider — Here’s Why

I thought our readers would be more excited about last month’s post on detoxing – the spiritual approach. Not so. Many confessed that they could do it for one or two days, but not more. A week or month was out of the question. Yet, here I am again, pushing the spiritual detox.

The spiritual detox snatched hope away, and that’s what upset our readers. “Hope, Allen, is natural. If you’re in pain, what’s wrong with hoping for relief? If you were diagnosed with an incurable disease, wouldn’t you hope for a healing? Take my money, take my car, take my wife, but don’t take away my hope.”

For human beings, hope is natural. They couldn’t live without it. But, reader, you are not a human being. Halloween has come and gone. Stop the sham!

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, it’s because you know that God is the only Presence and Power. If you don’t know it, you at least feel the rightness of this Truth. In God’s Allness, only spiritual beings exist, and that’s what you are.

You and God is one. Yes, I took the liberty of using the singular verb is. However, the sentence would be more accurate if I took out the word “and.” Just like the wave of the ocean is the ocean, your Identity is God Identified.

Christ Jesus knew this and proclaimed, “I and my Father are one.” On the heels of that he, declared, “All that the Father has is mine.” Take a minute to ponder those two statements.

In the realization that “All that the Father has is mine,” would Christ hope for health, supply, love, wisdom, or anything? In the realization of Oneness there is no need for hope. What could you hope for when all is already yours (You)?

This is why I’m pushing the spiritual detox. Hope is a denial of your Oneness. Hope is a denial of your spiritual Identity. Hope is a denial of your Godhood. Hope is a lie rooted in separation. It’s based on an assumption that you are separated from God and your good.

Remember, a spiritual detox facilitates God realization, and God realization inevitably reveals Oneness. Is God in pain? Is God in lack? Is God in trouble? You know the answers to these questions, but here is the most important question: As you and God is one Presence, can you be in pain, lack, or trouble?

Can you see that the practical value of a detox is the freeing Truth of Oneness? The realization of Oneness frees you from all that God is not. A popular minister once roused the masses with these three words – “Keep hope alive.” Wonderful words for hopeless humans, but utter twaddle for anyone who professes God is All.

I wrote this post to encourage you to reconsider the Spiritual Detox. Try it for a weekend. Next, try it for an entire week. Once you try it for 30 days, you’ll never hope again.

The Real Reason You Pray

News To Know

blogcover

Dying Is Profitable

Whatever you do, please don’t fork out $2,000 for my second book Sounds of the Trumpet. Sounds crazy, I know, but after I “died” (according to rumor), used copies of my first book God Is All sold on Amazon.com for thousands. Once it was discovered that I’m very much alive, prices dropped back to normal.

No More Books

I’m writing this post to inform you that Sounds of the Trumpet is no longer available for purchase. As many of you know, Mystics of the World has shuttered. They were the life support for Sounds after it abruptly went out of print. Until further notice, only used copies are available. News like this has used booksellers swarming cyberspace like vultures hoping to make a quick profit. Don’t buy at an inflated price! Wait until we’re back in print again.

It Wasn’t Supposed To Be This Way

It was not supposed to be this way. I had high hopes for Sounds. I expected it to be more popular than God is All. Sounds was supposed to be the darling of all its distributors (more so than God is All). Rather than being an underground success like the first book, I really thought Sounds was going to go mainstream. Despite its auspicious beginning, none of this happened.

Unlike the self-published God is All, Sounds of the Trumpet was published by Big Sur in the United Kingdom. Things went sour very quickly. A foreign publisher and a stateside distributor is not the ideal combination. I never made a dime from the publisher who eventually shut down.

Why did I expect so much from Sounds? Of my two books, it’s my favorite. And that’s only because it shows the practicality of the Absolute in just about every conceivable situation. One reader recently described it as “one of the great books,” and I agree.

Here’s How You Can Help

Reader, please know, along with me, that Sounds of the Trumpet will “find” the ideal publisher to put it in the hands of interested readers at a decent price.

Spiritual Leaders And Their Lies

This is an excerpt from my second book Sounds Of The Trumpet

Life Is A Playground Not A Learning School

Perhaps you have heard the theory, widely accepted by many metaphysicians, that misfortunes haunt our lives to teach us a valuable lesson, and once that lesson is learned the misfortune departs. False notions such as this one have encouraged “spiritual leaders” to perpetuate the great lie that earth is a huge classroom with multitudes of brutal lessons preparing us for ease of living somewhere else – at another time.

There’s Something Better Than Overcoming Problems

There is a well-known religion that takes great pride in how their members and believers use Truth, solely and very effectively to overcome every type of physical malady known to man. This is fine, but there is a higher view. From the peaks of Mt. Absolute, you can see that the highest testimony to the Omnipresence and Omnipotence of God is not in overcoming problems, but in having no problems to overcome, to literally go from one glorious experience to the next glorious experience in this infinite universe of illimitable glories. Isn’t this a better testimony to the fact that GOD IS ALL?

Your Assurance Of Uninterrupted Glorious Living Is The Allness Of God

Is it possible to actually live from glory to glory? This questions can be answered simply: IF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO LIVE FROM GLORY TO GLORY, THEN GOD IS NOT ALL. IF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO LIVE FROM GLORY TO GLORY, THEN GOD IS NOT THE ONLY PRESENCE AND THE ONLY POWER. But you and I know with unshakable certainty that GOD IS ALL.

The Solution To Every Problem

Transforming Power Of A Oneness Contemplation

If dualism is the root of all problems, then ONENESS is the solution to all problems. It does not matter what the nature of the problem appears to be, ONENESS IS THE ANSWER. Dear reader, you can experience a great “transformation” of your life by completely realizing, “I and my Father are one.” By contemplating this Truth, and letting revelation after revelation come forth, every area of your life will be showered with miracles. Of course nothing really changes, and nothing is transformed, but the Finished Kingdom of Heaven, present here and now, is revealed and experienced.

Similarly, scaling the heights and plumbing the depths of the realization that THERE IS ONLY ONE PRESENCE AND ONE POWER IN AND AS ALL THE UNIVERSE can seem to transform your life, as if a fairy-godmother waved her magic wand over your world.

Never Battle Externals – Realize Truth

Beloved, never battle with so called externals. Never fight against anything or anyone that seems to be outside of you. Deal only with your Consciousness. Deal only with your Perception and Awareness. Settle the matter in your own God Consciousness, and you will completely resolve any seeming difficulty. I know you have read this many times, but do you understand its full implication? If you do, you would understand that you would never battle a headache with a pill. You would never battle a loved one with caustic words or threats of violence. Instead, you would stand still and clearly realize that God is the one and only Presence, Power, Identity, and Manifestation. Furthermore, you would know that YOU, YOURSELF, ARE THIS PRESENCE AND POWER. Having perceived this with utmost clarity, there are no issues to resolve.

Why You Do The Things You Do (Spiritually)

Excerpt from Sounds Of The Trumpet

Reader, have every confidence that your reason for seeking Truth is because you are already Truth. Your attraction to things of the Spirit is because you are already Spirit. It is because you are already the Truth that you respond so warmly and affectionately to the Absolute. It is because you are already the Truth that you have moments of silence where you are free from even the appearance of a mythical world of evil, loss, and lack.

It is only because you are already whole that you have ever bothered to pray for a healing. It is because the kingdom has already been given you that you have ever prayed for any good thing. Cease reversing the Truth, thinking that you pray because you lack. IT IS BECAUSE GOD REALLY IS ALL, ALL CONSCIOUSNESS AND ALL MANIFESTATION, THAT GLORIOUS LIVING IS NOW INEVITABLE FOR YOU AND EVERY IDENTITY IN THIS VAST UNIVERSE.
