The Sacred Book of U: Unveiling the Lost Teachings of the Deep Feminine [Paperback]

Ruth Gould-Goodman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 22, 2008

This information gifts people the power to stand in their truth. Our time in history demands that every single person who can stand for truth come forward She's Arrived! A contemporary voice of the Deep Feminine has finally come to join today's conversation on consciousness and enlightenment. In The Sacred Book of U, Ruth Gould-Goodman-mother and wife, dancer, breath-movement master, and oriental and energy medicine practitioner-elucidates a fresh, philosophically sophisticated, and accessible perspective on feminine spiritual enlightenment. For the modern student (or new devotee) of consciousness and the power of mind, The Sacred Book of U offers a nuanced and compassionate understanding of positive vs. negative thinking. Obviating the typical dualistic posture towards negativity or pain of many consciousness paths, The Sacred Book of U radically proposes that pain is the Universe knocking on our door, providing the only human way into expanded consciousness and true spiritual growth. The Voice of the Mother, moreover, asserts that spiritual growth can only be initiated through the body-the universal yet uniquely individual portal to a holistic divinity in an otherwise divided and fragmented world. Birthed from a lifetime's marriage of body-breath movement practice and a deep, clear mind, Ruth's work provides a tangible, grounded, and whole-systems perspective on authentic transformation. Complete with personal stories containing universal messages, mind-body exercises for practical application, and philosophical discussion of some of today's most pressing global concerns, The Sacred Book of U is a treasure for spiritual readers and students looking for an accessible path of enlightened living and a truly holistic and grounded spiritual practice. The world has been withheld from the feminine's 'secret' for too long! Those who have been ready for an alternative to the long-dominant masculine voices of spirituality

This review is from: The Sacred Book of U: Unveiling the Lost Teachings of the Deep Feminine (Paperback)

This book brings us to a point where we begin to re-think everything that we thought about before. It awakens areas in us that have been lying slumbering. We are forced to look in the dark alleys of our past and our psyche. These questions can be hard, yet they lead to a new way on being.

Bravo, for having the courage to reveal your dark issues, for they provide us with the courage to delve within our own. Thank you for a well-written piece of work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Philosophical Queen, December 3, 2008

This review is from: The Sacred Book of U: Unveiling the Lost Teachings of the Deep Feminine (Paperback)

...In The Sacred Book of U, Ruth Gould-Goodman an is composing the universe as the voice of the knowing of Sophia (the true root of philosophy). This book attends to life and sensual truth; this is the artistry of consciousness and thus it is not making it up--rather telling the natural truth that frees self to embrace self, release our old tired god forms and seek the human form divine. Ruth is by nature a philosophical queen." - Leigh McCloskey, author and artist, Adam Reborn and Eve Restored, [...]

This review is from: The Sacred Book of U: Unveiling the Lost Teachings of the Deep Feminine (Paperback)

Ruth Gould-Goodman's book points us in the right direction--inward towards the Great Mystery that is the core of our being, and outlines the manifestation process in a way everyone can understand. The feminine, the receptive 'source of energy behind all things', receives the imprint from the masculine 'expressing itself through intention and belief'. Her premise is 'when we learn how to hold a balanced relationship between these two polarities, we gain the power to create new realities rather than consuming the ones in front of us.' Her words awaken our dormant knowing of the power we have to create a divine interaction between the feminine and masculine aspects of our own being--thus actualizing the possibility of consciously becoming a mature, fluid, creative, grounded, peaceful human being--capable of standing in the power of our truth and shining our light into the world.
