Description of Heaven On Earth Heaven On Earth: A Guide to Enlightenment & Human Unity will appeal to readers who are just beginning to explore the spiritual path, as well as to those readers who are already quite knowledgeable about this subject. The real gem of this book is its uncomplicated outline of what needs to be done in order to attain enlightenment. The result is a profoundly simple and highly accessible description that is communicated in the most ordinary language possible. But Heaven On Earth does more than guide sincere seekers on the journey towards remembering their true nature. It takes the reader back through the hoary traditions of several major world religions, revealing the supreme truths underlying them all. By uniting the Eastern pursuit of individual liberation with the Western belief in world salvation, Heaven On Earth explains how all world religions are fundamentally oriented towards the same goal: to offer concrete ways for human beings to unite with God, and to create a world where all people coexist peacefully and live in harmony with the planet. The book begins with a detailed preface, where the author, Stephen D'Amico, recounts his own spiritual awakening. It then launches into a series of essays that explore the subjects of modern psychology, philosophy, and cosmology, revealing how they each limit our understanding of what it means to be a human being and why we are really here. To correct these mistaken views, Heaven On Earth offers a passionate revelation describing life as a magnificent journey to discover that our true nature is one with the formless force that created the entire cosmos! Looking back to more traditional ways of understanding this mind-shattering revelation, the second section of Heaven On Earth begins by surveying several major world religions, revealing how they each explain the meaning of enlightenment. Then it explains the overall essence of this experience and the transformation that follows. Describing with incisive clarity how it fundamentally transforms the body, mind, ego, personality, and temperament, this section concludes by powerfully drawing the reader into a sense of what it means to be enlightened. In the next section, the reader is given a glimpse into several of the most enduring spiritual paths, providing a speed-scale tour of the myriad of practices and perspectives that have helped guide seekers for millennia. For the modern seeker, however, Heaven On Earth places a particular emphasis on one of the highest forms of spiritual practice, providing the reader with a realistic path to attain enlightenment. The final section of the book offers a vision of hope, teaching that enlightenment is, and always has been, the true goal of all religions, and that this spiritual awakening is destined to become the native state of every human being. Once humanity reaches this momentous evolutionary event, a huge collective power will be unleashed, creating revolutionary changes on this planet, bringing peace and harmony to all, and eventually transforming this world into a heavenly paradise. This spiritual primer covers a huge amount of territory. It heals the age-old distinctions between heaven and earth, God and human beings, and the more modern divisions between evolution and creation, science and mysticism, and psychology and spirituality. Without being dogmatic, it celebrates the very heart of all religions, honoring them for what they've always been: sources of spiritual guidance and mystical wisdom. It also clearly conveys the indescribable depth and radical transformation brought about by the crowning mystical experience of enlightenment. But most importantly, Heaven On Earth provides something the world urgently needs now more than ever: a higher sense of purpose and a nobler vision for the future. |
