The first book I read from Paul was "The Gospel According to Jesus". It is lying on my bedside table, I open it very often and I always find clarity, orientation and comfort within. It is so valuable for me! Paul`s work is a big blessing for me, I used to be so much in my head and I was betraying myself so much!
I have to admit, I am learning very slowly. I am facing big challenges with being strongly influenced by other people`s opinions, looking for external approval, wanting a rocket ship to heaven and sometimes lacking respect, patience and humility.
Being aware of these challenges, I need to bring love to all that instead of beating myself up!
This Community and Paul`s work help me to remember to come into my heart, to be gentle with my shadow material to slow down and focus just on my next step instead of having big plans.
As for relationships I am learning not to expect too much from my husband, not to be deceived by the romantic ideal and to create better boundaries.
I am very grateful for Paul`s work, for the safe space and for the opportunity to share here in this Community Forum!
For me, Paul's work harnesses spiritual concepts and brings them to a very human and understandable level. The Gospel of Jesus is filled with such wisdom.
In the eyes of Christ, we are all sparks of the divine and that makes us all connected. We love our neighbors as ourselves because we recognize that they are also sparks of the divine. We are all loved equally by our creator but we have forgotten our divine birthright, because we have gotten stuck in our earthly challenges and in our pain. The Gospel of Jesus teaches us to love unconditionally in a conditional world. The Gospel of Jesus presents the basic concepts that Jesus taught and has shown me new ways to embrace his teachings. For that, I am grateful.
Eva, It is great to see your dedication to this work and to witness all the progress you are making as your commitment to your spiritual practice deepens. In the end it is not how many spiritual books you read or how many teachers you follow that matters, but the commitment you make to your own awakening. I am happy that you have taken the time to get grounded. With strong roots, your branches will extend upward naturally and in time there will be flowers and fruits to celebrate. Namaste, Paul
Thank you, Paul! Namaste, Eva
