Harold Klemp (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 21, 2010

Do you live your own dreams or someone else's? Are your spiritual beliefs from your own experience, or do they come from books and teachers? "You have to put your heart and love into any approach to God," says author Harold Klemp. "As a spiritual being, you owe it to yourself to give this life one good whirl, to put everything into it, and to make it worth living." Through stories, inspiring viewpoints, and simple everyday exercises, the author shows how to clearly recognize the relationship between the physical life and the spiritual self. The Golden Heart refers to one who has a loving, aware, and creative attitude toward life. Every day we have opportunities to grow in our ability to meet life's challenges. Harold Klemp helps the reader understand the practical benefits of spiritual awareness. Through the eyes of a small boy, you'll discover the importance of giving personal space to others in order to build lasting and loving relationships. In chapter four, you'll enjoy a short story that becomes a visualization as you meet an old fellow leaning on a farm gate who begins to share the secrets of health and longevity. As you begin to grow beyond your built-in attitudes and expand in your point of view, the author shows you how to see more of the spiritual horizon of your own life. One day you will notice that you are no longer asking God to make your life better; now you are taking full responsibility fo your own actions. The Golden Heart is a though-provoking book on how to achieve a greater spiritual understanding, regardless of your background.

This review is from: The Golden Heart: Mahanta Transcripts, Book IV (Paperback)

In this book, Harold Klemp, the modern leader of the ancient religion of Eckankar, reveals a secret key that opens many spiritual doors. To have a Golden Heart is to have a detached, unconditional love for all life. In order to go within and find yourself, or in order to find God, you must first open your Golden Heart to the world around you.

The Golden Heart is a gold mine of spiritual wisdom, which shows how to mine the veins of divine insight and wisdom lying within oneself as Soul. Harold Klemp shows how to make healthier, wiser, happier choices to create an ongoing life one prefers.

The chapters that have helped me most are: What the Initiations Are About, Methods of Soul Travel, Broader Views of Heaven, Seeing through Illusion, Our Connection with the Holy Spirit, Respecting Another's Space, Ways of Protection, The Importance of Each Soul, Learning from a Master, Overcoming the Fear of Death, The Role of Doubt, Transition to Higher Worlds, A Custom-made Path, How Soul Learns, Adapting to a Fast-paced World, Relighting Your Inner Light, Creating Our Own Worlds, The Golden-tongued Wisdom, The Gift of Healing, Moving beyond the Mind, Expanding the Consciousness, Working Out Karma in Relationships, Letting Go of Fear, and The Give and Take of Love.

All the books by Harold Klemp I've read have helped me see each next spiritual step--and even take giant leaps--in my journey as Soul home to the heart of God. I'm now living a meaningful and purposeful life of expanding understanding, compassion, adventure, and creativity.

I just found out last week-end in Montreal that this book is available in French. The title is : "Le coeur d'or". So, I'm quite happy that I will be able to read it in my own language. =================== Je viens de découvrir la semaine dernière à Montréal que ce livre est maintenant offert en français ! Enfin ! C'est un excellent ouvrage sur la spiritualité pratique et applicable aujourd'hui, à notre époque moderne.
