Spiritual Liberation

Fulfilling Your Soul's Potential

By: Michael Bernard Beckwith

Narrated by: Michael Bernard Bechwith

Length: 8 hrs and 34 mins

Publisher's summary

Michael Bernard Beckwith - the dynamic spiritual leader who touched millions of readers and viewers in The Secret and through the spiritual community he founded, the Agape International Spiritual Center - is now sharing his transforming central message and his powerfully accessible means for embodying that message in daily life, a process he calls "aspiring toward spiritual liberation."

Michael Beckwith teaches that inner spiritual work, not religiosity or dogma, liberates us. He draws on a wide spectrum of ancient wisdom teachers such as Jesus the Christ and Gautama the Buddha; contemporary spiritual luminaries Thich Nhat Hanh, Sri Aurobindo, and the Dalai Lama; and Western contributors to the New Thought tradition of spirituality such as Emanuel Swedenborg, Walter Russell, and Dr. Howard Thurman to create a profound new belief synthesis.

Either read silently or aloud, Spiritual Liberation can be included during meditation or prayer. Each chapter includes an affirmation that distills its core concepts into a sentence or two for the reader to easily practice throughout the day. Beckwith's personal and touching accounts guide the practitioner to integrate and activate the intrinsic gifts of divinity into everyday life.

The core concepts of Beckwith's teachings are cohesively conceived and convincingly stated in the provocative chapters of Spiritual Liberation. Topics covering "Evolved People", "Transportation to Trans-formation", "Transcending the Tyranny of Trends", and "Inner Ecology" are some of his foundational teachings that bring together insights from a range of spiritual paths to form a coherent practice that is neither Eastern nor Western but truly spiritually global.

Regardless of their belief system, readers will find it impossible to finish this book without at least a few "Aha!" moments.

Absolutely worth your time

I am new to Beckwith in general so this was my first exposure to him, apart from the Secret. I have found this book to be filled with great insights and concrete suggestions that are doable.

My one problem with the book is that Beckwith ends each chapter with an affirmation. The problem is that the affirmations on the audible book are about 5 minutes each, with some cheesy music coming in after the first few sentences. I'm actually a big fan of affirmations, except when they're run on sentences and combined with cheesy music. Don't let this stop you, however. Just warning you to expect this. The rest of the book is top notch.

In general, like all audible books, the Chapters aren't named and don't translate to the actual book chapters. I don't know why they do that but that's not the author's fault.

Totally recommend this book.

Phenomenal

Through this book, the secret has been revealed to me and I can now walk with love

Inspirational

I devoured this book. So deep, inspirational and motivating. I would listen to it to start and end my day. The reflections or meditations gave me a boost of reconnection to my deeper self. My only negative comment is that I had to listen to a section twice as it felt rushed because I needed time to process the content. Nonetheless it's my go-to book when I need a pick-me-up.

I loved the blend of content with music and affirmations.

I felt so uplifted by Dr. Beckwith as I read this book. His insights are so relatable and practical. I’ll be reading more of his books.

🙌

I don't even have words, I just throw my hands up 🙌 in surrender.

Thought it would be weird but it was actually helpful

Thought it would be weird but it was actually helpful. Author has studied different religions and puts together calming uplifting audio that gives practical tools for keeping your act together and getting the most out of life. Highly recommend.

Divine

Outstanding words of wisdom and a divine guide to spiritual enlightenment!! Thank you for your work M.B

Powerful insight!

This has been one my favorite Bechwith books yet!! First of all, I love the narrating of his own voice. I find it soothing I also really like at the end of each chapter there was a narrative and a meditative thought a short meditation! Helped get present to the message I had heard. for somebody looking to learn more and look into your own soul I would definitely recommend this book!

I am forever changed.

This book does exactly what it sets out to do: a practical guide towards spiritual liberation. I know it’ll be a book a reference throughout my life. It is littered with gems. I have been telling everyone about it. I have to be mindful that I don’t become a MBB evangelist.

Excellent teachings. I Love this valuable resource

This book helps me to uncover my authenticity by asking the right questions. This is an extremely valuable textbook for those who are ready to take a close, deep introspective look at who they are; and it offers workable tools to assist us in taking personal responsibilty to allow our true, God-given and organic nature to emerge. I will refer back to this book often throughout my journey. Thank you for this excellent work Rev. Dr. Michael BB.
