Description: Being Human offers a profound approach to understanding life. We may assume that we are human because we inhabit a human body, but there is a difference between our form and our content. Just as the body represents our form, our inner Self—our essence—represents our content. Each of us is shaped by life forces—material, vegetative, animal, and human—which exist within all of life. Being Human explores these forces and provides practical tools that enable us to understand not only why we often get stuck in ancestral patterns or other limiting thoughts and emotions, but also what resources we contain to move beyond them. On a higher level, it examines how our relationship with the life forces and ultimately with the Creator—the Great Life Force—enables us to navigate our human journey with purpose and meaning. As we open to the Divine our inner life awakens, and our outer actions become guided by our inner Self.

Bringing out the best in what it means to be human.,
By carel chadman baer (Lewes, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Being Human: Exploring the Forces That Shape Us and Awaken an Inner Life (Paperback)
What is it to be human? Is it our human form and mind? Or is it something more that touches upon and drives each of us towards the desire to awaken within our selves our authenic purpose and unique promise? It is the mysterious something more that this collaborative effort attempts to unveil and illuminate. Replete with personal stories and pragmatic tools, the authors show how proper alignment of the many forces which make us human in both our inner and outer worlds can produce miraculous effect within our daily lives and within our own self understanding moving us ever closer towards harmony. Harmony not only with our own true selves but towards harmony with others and with that higher power which some call God. An inspiring, life-changing book!
