Biographie de l'auteur :
Robert Egby has helped thousands of people along the path to discover the powers of the True Self. He spent years traveling and observing the emotional, psychological and physical hurts of the human condition. For 13 years he worked in the war-ravaged Middle East as an international journalist. At age 24 he was an accredited British war correspondent at the Suez War. His news photo of terrorists killing in Cyprus won him an award at the British Press Pictures of the Year. He also served in broadcasting in the Middle East, and later in Germany and British Columbia. In 1978 a spirit guide set him on a path to go beyond the study of religion into the realms of higher consciousness and work towards the True Self, the Cosmic Self. On the way he learned metaphysics, mediumship and healing and taught these in workshops and classes. On the path he discovered a tragedy: millions of people unwittingly live with conditioned, mechanical minds, daily reliving memories of past events. It was this that encouraged Robert to become an accredited hypnoanalyst and sound healer, professions he practices today to help people heal. He is also a Spiritualist trained, ordained interfaith minister. A British medium, Patrick Young once told him: "To achieve cosmic awareness you need to get out of your own way." This book is the result of Robert's search to go beyond the suffering of the conditioned and mechanical mind and show that there is a way out. We can all Crack the Glass Darkly.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
"The Glass Darkly" is a 2,000 year-old phrase summarizing the suffering of humanity. Plato, Socrates, St Paul, the Buddha and others knew it as a prison, a cave, a block to spirituality. The good news is that there is a way to go beyond the Glass Darkly, easily and effectively, no matter what your suffering might be. The book covers four major steps found on the path to Cosmic Consciousness. (1) Dissolving the Glass Darkly, that's the negative ego that plagues humanity; (2) Freeing yourself from the past and the future and living ecstatically in the Here and Now; (3) Loving yourself unconditionally and enjoying great physical, mental and spiritual health; and (4) opening yourself to True Self Awareness where you can understand the Cosmos, Infinite Intelligence, work with Universal Laws, and enjoy life with all its challenges and rewards. Is this a religious book? Not a bit. But you may well have a better understanding of your religion after reading it. It opens doors to your own spiritual understanding of what you are doing on Planet Earth and your role in the Universe. The book contains a fascinating training exercise: If there is anything you dislike in this book, simply watch your mechanical mind impartially, and note the results. Then ask yourself, "If I can watch myself thinking and reacting, who or what is the Watcher?" Welcome to the True Self! You've cracked the Glass Darkly and you're on the Way.
