Book Description

Honoring the Hermit: Seeing through the Illusion of Separateness was written for those who have asked, "Why am I here? What is my purpose in life?"

Described as a "Remarkable Odyssey of True-Self Discovery," the book guides readers toward establishing that connection to Higher-Consciousness known as the Higher Self, here referred to as the HERMIT.

From that perspective every experience, every emotion, every relationship takes on new meaning. Our lives are re-framed in crystalline clarity.

Honoring The Hermit: Seeing Through The Illusion Of Separateness guides the reader toward establishing contact with their "true-Selves" by accessing that connection to Higher Consciousness referred to as the "Higher Self", and which Rebecca Holdorf calls the Hermit. It is through cultivating that awareness of a Wise One existing at some deeper level within each of us that we are enabled to reassess our situations from a higher perspective so that every experience, emotion, and relationship takes on new meaning. Our lives are reframed in crystalline clarity as they emerge from beneath layers of defensiveness and ego-preservation. Recommended reading for truth seekers and anyone seeking self-knowledge, self-fulfillment, and self-improvement, the technique offered in Honoring The Hermit can penetrate self-defensiveness to reveal the jewel that is our innermost self, enabling us to craft and create a better, more self-enlightened, self-imaged, and spiritually personal future.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to live a soulful life, May 4, 2001

This review is from: Honoring the Hermit: Seeing through the Illusion of Separateness (Paperback)

This thoughtful book illuminates the ways we can attain a more spiritual perspective in our lives, by pointing out the differences between ego (I-ness) and spirit (We-ness). Author Rebecca Holdorf explains that the Hermit is "the Wise One isolated by choice who speaks only when properly addressed: when the mind is silent." Holdorf shares relevant stories from her life as she addresses some of the big questions, such as: the search for meaning in life; increasing awareness of ourselves; relating to others; and such soulful abstractions as truth, beauty, love, compassion and freedom. What I love most about HONORING THE HERMIT is the way it brings clarity to the matter of how to be a soulful individual, honoring both one's own life path and all life, everywhere. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of the interaction between self and spirit.
