Book Description

Publication Date: April 14, 2010

Now this book can show you the truth about yourself as Soul: We can look forward to a greater life than merely reliving former experiences, by becoming a conscious Soul handling the environment, body, life, spirit, or whatever you might call the ECK power, and participating in events of our own creation. Then life becomes the pleasure it should be and could have always been. (chapter 1) Discover the secret of imagination, the divine faculty of Soul which you can use to transform your life. Learn the seven fundamental spiritual laws which allow you to create your future in harmony with the universal Spirit, for the highest good of all concerned. If you want to master your destiny and become a conscious Co-worker with God, this book can show you how to do it - by listening to the guidance of Divine Spirit. Eckankar is ancient wisdom for today. Its teachings, which resurfaced in 1965, emphasize the value of personal experiences as the most natural way back to God. Whatever your religious background, they show how to look and listen within yourself - to expand your consciousness and enjoy spiritual freedom. See for yourself - perhaps for the first time - how to lead a happy, balanced, and productive life. And put daily concerns into loving perspective.

This review is from: The Flute of God (Paperback)

Paul Twitchell's book reveals practical tools that have helped me have amazing direct experiences with Spirit. How refreshing it is to read someone who gives techniques and information without some mystical mumbo-jumbo. The Flute of God is the real thing for people who want to begin directly connecting with Spirit and to discover our higher nature as Soul. The sections on the creative imagination are simply astonishing.

5.0 out of 5 stars How You can Master the Psychology of Spirit., December 19, 2010

This review is from: The Flute of God (Paperback)

According to Paul Twitchell, the author of The Flute of God, Spirit or Divine Spirit is a creative Current from the heart of God, which creates, sustains and dissolves all matter in due course. This Spirit can be seen as Light and heard as Sound by whoever is open to it. We are totally dependent upon this Divine Current of God. But most people are unconscious of this fact.

To work with this Spirit to better our lives, we need to understand its nature and laws. For instance, the Law of Cause and Effect is a fixed law of the Holy Spirit that must be obeyed by all or adverse consequences would follow, according to Twitchell.

We are all made in the image and likeness of God; that is the higher side of every human being. This is what Twitchel calls Soul. According to him, when we identify with the body, we become paralyzed with fear and so cannot enjoy the best of life that the children of God are entitled to and capable of. This is clearly stated on page 140:

"The true purpose of any seeker is to know Soul as his beingness. This leads into wisdom and one becomes immortal. Those who know that the source of intelligence is Soul, attain immortality; those who do not know it remain attached to the material body and senses and are therefore subject to birth and death. Become conscious of the immortal Soul. When this consciousness of the immortal self is gained, all fear vanishes. Fear of death rises from ignorance, which makes us forget our immortal nature and identify ourselves with the material body, which is subject to death."

This book is to be read several times before one could absorb all the esoteric wisdom within its golden pages. Even though i have read it for over thirty times and still browse through it now and then, the deep spiritual truths it contains still ring with freshness each time i open it.

I truly recommend this book to anyone who is seriously looking for proper understanding of themselves, the psychology of Spirit and how to work with it, as well as gaining the higher knowledge of God. Twitchell also introduces and discusses HU, the ancient, holy name of God. This powerful word goes hand in hand with learning the deeper wisdom of God.

You can learn why our dreams often don't come true, the effect of wrong thinking to our overall wellbeing as well as how to manifest our heart's desires, and many more from this intriguing book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Life-Saver!, October 3, 2008

This review is from: The Flute of God (Paperback)

The Flute of God, by Paul Twitchell, is a primer on the Spiritual Laws of Life. (I also recommend a book by the same name: Spiritual Laws of Life ) Just now, I opened the book at random to give a flavor of what is contained within. On p. 129, Paul writes, "This mental attitude [dwelling in the secret place of the most High] is of immense value in setting the individual free from worry and anxiety; as a consequence, our lives become more efficient and happier." That pretty much expresses my experience with it in a nutshell.

The Flute of God is about who you really are--Soul, immortal and creative. Unlike some other teachings, it is NOT about how to manifest things, although you will learn how to be more creative and better care for yourself. It's about why you are here--to serve not just yourself, but all life. It teaches you the real meaning of "Seek first the Kingdom of God and all else shall be added unto you."

This is not an easy read, but it it a compelling one. It is clear that Paul gathered wisdom from many sources--both physical and spiritual--and did an amazing job of converting these universal truths into a words. These things are a challenge to get your mind around! But somehow, he managed to get the job done.

If you want to run your life better, read this book--and then share it with someone you love!
