Trust in Liberation: A Manual of Self Transformation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781477401095)

Author Eric Gross and his ambi-tious 364 page book Lib-er-a-tion From The Lie is a clar-ion call to human-ity, encour-ag-ing each and every-one of us to redis-cover our unique-ness, pur-sue our long ignored dreams and return to the heroic path for which we were des-tined. While his mes-sage is con-tem-po-rary and rel-e-vant his frame of ref-er-ence is pre-dom-i-nantly Bud-dhist with an eclec-tic fusion of tra-di-tions (spir-i-tual and oth-er-wise) that prove once again that the really impor-tant truths have always been known, we just need to be reminded of them every gen-er-a-tion or so. Delv-ing into the com-plex, inner work-ings of the psy-che is no easy task for most authors, they either lose their audi-ence in pro-fun-dity or resort to shal-low cliché and catch phrases. Eric Gross does nei-ther. His ideas flow gen-tly and grace-fully across the printed page tak-ing the reader on an highly per-sonal voy-age inward peel-ing the lay-ers of pre-tense and facade with a grace and crafts-man-ship that is truly inspiring. Are you ready to rise above the morass of con-ven-tional wis-dom and dis-cover a new way of under-stand-ing your-self, the world around you and what you're here to accom-plish? Are you pre-pared to wake up and return to the heroic jour-ney we are all called to? If you are 'Lib-er-a-tion From The Lie' is the book for you! Eric Gross is the author of Lib-er-a-tion from the Lie. Eric was the recip-i-ent of the NASA Fel-low-ship in Remote Sens-ing, as well as the United States Depart-ment of Jus-tice Fel-low-ship in Crim-i-nal Jus-tice. His many years of affil-i-a-tion with the Dinè (Navajo) Peace-mak-ing Divi-sion was an out-come of this Fel-low-ship. You can see his US Depart-ment of Jus-tice report here and more of his pro-fes-sional writ-ings here. The vision of Lib-er-a-tion, as described and taught in this book, is based on many years study-ing and prac-tic-ing Zen Bud-dhism with an Asian mas-ter, many years work-ing with Navajo (Dinè) tra-di-tional heal-ers, and real-world appli-ca-tion of these ideas from an awak-ened per-spec-tive. All of the prin-ci-ples of Lib-er-a-tion from the Lie have been rig-or-ously tested and you are invited to test them in your own life. The goals of Lib-er-a-tion are those of heal-ing the wounded spirit, re-connecting with the life source, see-ing through our iden-ti-ties with inad-e-quacy, and find-ing the love and pas-sion that we are here to express.
