How does one wake up to a spiritual quest? Sometimes it comes from a sudden realization and sometimes more gradually from a growing understanding of life’s experiences. Betty Bland’s particular “wake-up call” came suddenly as a result of a Near-Death Experience (NDE) in 1968, well before that became a main-stream term. The NDE catapulted her on a search to understand her experience and to put that knowledge into practice. (Because the NDE so deeply influenced Betty’s perspective, a description is included as an appendix in the book.)

As a part of her sea, Betty encountered the Theosophical Society in America (TSA) which provided a wealth of helpful information. Its spiritually comprehensive worldview (beyond any specific religious teachings) provided a roadmap for the continuing exploration that became her life’s path and ever-unfolding growth. Betty became involved in many areas of service within the TSA, ultimately being elected as its national president.

During her 9 years as president, she shared her growing understandings as Viewpoint articles in the regularly published Quest magazine. Over time these articles resonated with many readers, and after urgings from a number of people, she decided to make them more readily available. This collection of reflections offers threads of thought to inspire a deeper awareness of the meaning and purpose of our time on this earth and our calling to act responsibly for the well-being of all our fellow beings.

May the reader find something that helps connect to the beauty and interwovenness of our amazing creation—that it might in some way make life more meaningful.

This book is a delightful treasure . It is what I call a “dip in” book. Filled with meaningful stories, you will find something that will stick to your heart. Full of wisdom, you will see yourself exactly where you need to be. Betty writes lovingly about the Spirit and how simple things, like a morning walk can be balm for the soul. You will want to keep this book near long after you have read it all. Such a gift! Thank you Betty for soothing my soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring readings that invite discussion!

I've always enjoyed reading books that blend esoteric wisdom and today's reality. When my current partner of five years, who was new to the subject matter, expressed an interest in learning more, we chose Betty's book to help launch discussions on the various topics. We took turns reading one piece to each other each morning and then talking about what we thought it meant for us, and beyond. The conversations introduced topics in a way that was easy for my partner to grasp, while giving me the opportunity to revisit "old friends." Thanks to Betty for putting this treasure trove of ideas!

Betty Bland has captured the perfect daily devotion book as someone who has earned the right to be telling the story. Written with clarity and simplicity, it illuminates the essentials of a genuine spiritual life. I love my daily time with "Begin Where You Are" as the daily devotions builds on each other, yet also stand alone with insight and grace. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond grateful for this experience
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2024
This book changed my life. I was beyond honored to read this book before it was ever considered for publication. I was so compelled by the word on the pages that I gingerly encouraged Betty to share this with the world. During the time of reading this book I was going through hell. This book centered me. Made me believe in something much greater than me. It encouraged me to be a better human. It seemed to always have the perfect message for the experience I was going through that way. Betty is an amazing person. She is an amazing writer. But more importantly… she is an amazing influence on people’s lives. I love you. Thank you for the privilege.
