Bøger af Jill Loree

Here are fascinating answers to a deep and wide variety of life-related questions that were asked of a spirit being known only as the Guide, and spoken by Eva Pierrakos. For many years, people have been reading the Pathwork lectures online at www.pathwork.org. Between monthly lectures, Eva also held Q&A sessions during which participants could ask questions related to the most recent lecture, personal problems, or understanding life in general. Until now, these have not been widely read. Jill Loree, Pathwork Helper and founder of Phoenesse, has taken on the task of arranging all the Pathwork Q&As by topic, making them easier to access through eight alphabetized volumes. 100% of proceeds from The Guide Speaks books goes to the International Pathwork Foundation. "Any negative effects that manifest in a person's life can always be brought back to: "Where am I looking away from myself? Where do I not accept something in myself? Where do I try to escape from where I am and what I am at this moment?" Whenever life is approached in this way, you have the basic key that opens the kingdom of heaven right now."- Pathwork(R) Guide Q&A, #154 TOPICS FOR VOLUME 4Fear (Continued): Fear of Public Speaking - Fear of Rejection - Fear of Self - Fear of Sex - Fear of Success - Fear of Surpassing Parents - Fear of The Unknown - Overcoming Fear - PhobiasGame Playing: Game Playing General - SpiteGeographic MoveGiving & Receiving: Giving & Receiving General - Difficulty Giving - Difficulty Receiving - PrideGod: God General - Asking For Healing - Inner Guidance - Surrender - Wanting PermissionHate, Anger & Hostility: Hate, Anger & Hostility General - Blaming Others - Defense Mechanism - Eliciting Anger - Group Work - Healthy Anger - Letting Go vs. Acting Out - Link to Sexuality - Physical ExpressionHealing: Healing General - Laying On of Hands - Metals, Stones, CrystalsHelping Others: Helping Others General - Helping Parents - Helping the Homeless - SufferingHistory: History General - Hitler & Mussolini - Medicine & Psychiatry - Music & Art - Revolution - Spiritual TeachingsHuman Being: Human Being General - Being Average - Being Stuck - Doing vs. Being - Instincts - Meaning of Life - One's TaskIndividual Sessions & Group Work: Individual Sessions & Group Work General - Age of AquariusInertia: Inertia General - Fatigue - LazinessInternalized ParentsIntuition: Intuition General - Psychic Powers & ESPJesus Christ: Jesus Christ General - The Cross - Good Friday - Jesus' Travels - Rebellious Christians & Jews - Spreading The Word - Virgin MaryKarma (Cause & Effect): Karma (Cause & Effect) General - ForgivenessLabels

The Real. Clear. series offers a fresh approach to timeless spiritual teachings by way of easier-to-read language. It's the Pathwork Guide's wisdom in Jill Loree's words. This three-book collection combines Holy Moly + Finding Gold + Bible Me This: HOLY MOLY: The Story of Duality, Darkness and a Daring RescueThere's one story, as ancient and ageless as anything one can imagine, that lays a foundation on which all other truths stand. It exposes the origin of opposites. It illuminates the reality of darkness in our midst. It speaks of herculean efforts made on our behalf. This is that story.FINDING GOLD: The Search for Our Own Precious SelfThe journey to finding the whole amazing nugget of the true self is a lot like prospecting for gold. Both combine the lure of potential and the excitement of seeing a sparkling possibility, with needing to have the patience of a saint. It helps to have a map of our inner landscape and a headlamp for seeing into dark corners. That's what Jill Loree has created in this collection of spiritual teachings called Finding Gold.BIBLE ME THIS: Releasing the Riddles of Holy ScriptureThe Bible is a stumper for many of us, not unlike the Riddler teasing Batman with his 'riddle me this' taunts. But what if we could know what some of those obscure passages mean? What's the truth hidden in the myth of Adam & Eve? And what was up with that Tower of Babel? Bible Me This is a collection of in-depth answers to a variety of questions asked of the Guide about the Bible.

In Holy Moly, we discover the story of how this dualistic world with its unpleasant darkness began, and how the one who came to save us gave us the precious gift of light. For while we may be on board with the reality that we live in a land of opposites-where everything splits into either/or of darkness or daylight, right or wrong, good or bad-many of us would like to know why it has to be this way. Better yet, is there any way around this? Turns out, there is, but it's going to require we become willing to work our way through the rough terrain of duality. For the only way out is by going through the darkness and then emerging fully into the light of oneness. To do this, it can help if we understand the nature of duality, including how it came into existence. Further, we'll come to see how, by holding truth gently in our being, we can learn to illuminate the darkness that pervades our world. For all who seek the oneness, this story is for you.

Our journey back to the Oneness requires a multifaceted approach. We must grapple with duality while at the same time learning to visualize what it would be like to live in unity. We must navigate the twists and turns of finding our individuality coupled with the challenges of merging our energies with a group. We must dance with the pain of injustice while searching to discover the underlying template of fairness.Such are the myriad of teachings brought together in this sparkling collection of clear and concise gems taken from the final fifty or so lectures given by the Guide. You'll come to see why laziness isn't just a bad idea, it's the worst, and you'll explore what the rascally ego really has up its sleeve. All this and more streams forth from this stupendous trove of practical wisdom in which the Guide presents new facets to consider as we wend our way toward personal freedom.

Prospecting for gold combines the lure of potential, the excitement of seeing a sparkling possibility, and the patience of a saint. Finding the whole amazing nugget of our true selves at the core of our being is not so different.We must delve into areas of ourselves that have long been hidden from view, looking with self-compassion whenever a new awareness surfaces. We need to search for understanding and then follow it all the way through, mining it for every precious ounce of healing possible. Every glimpse of our true self will inspire us to go on.To do this work, it helps to have a map of our inner landscape and a headlamp for seeing into dark corners. That's what Jill Loree has created in this collection of spiritual teachings called Finding Gold. It taps into a rich vein of wisdom about the work of finding the self, illuminating the journey from various important perspectives.To gain a deeper sense of our own true value is to find gold.

"When we find another soul, we are finding another particle of God. When we reveal our soul, we reveal a particle of God. We give something divine to each other. "-The Guide's wisdom in Jill Loree's wordsThe Guide tells us that relationships are the most beautiful, challenging and growth-producing venture there is. When we lean into them, they can become the doorway through which we come to know ourselves and another soul-and ultimately God-a little better. Yet even though we all feel that pull to connect, we shy away.

What greater gift could we give ourselves than to wake up and make an effort to channel what's inside us out into the world, to bring forward the Christ consciousness that dwells within. To become a living light. Indeed, every time we listen for the truth, we will find the light of Christ within. And there is nothing greater for us to uncover than this. For that's the moment we'll know there is truly nothing to fear.

The Bible is a stumper for many of us, not unlike the Riddler teasing Batman with his "riddle me this" taunts. But what if we could know what some of those obscure passages mean? What's the truth hidden in the myth of Adam & Eve? And what was up with that Tower of Babel?Bible Me This is a collection of in-depth answers to a variety of questions about the Bible that were asked of the Guide, following this call for questions at the end of a lecture just two years before Eva died: "I have one more suggestion before terminating this first lecture of the new working year: It would be most helpful and beneficial for you, my friends, if you became more familiar with the Bible. I am most eager and willing to help you understand this great document, to disentangle for you what belongs on which level. For this great book is a combination of fragments of historical accounts, of symbolic meanings, of the greatest truths, of distortions deriving from human limitation of consciousness, as well as from the then existing cultural conditions that were 'right' at that time, but are no longer so today.I would like to lift up the jewels of truth contained in this book, separating the grains from the husks, so that you can appreciate and benefit from the timeless wisdom of these messages. So I suggest that you ply me with questions. You have a whole month to prepare, and I promise you that I will give you interpretations and answers that will be most useful and helpful for everyone. This will open a new horizon for you."- The Guide CONTENTS1 Understanding the Bible2 Understanding Myths3 Myth: Tower of Babel4 Myth: Adam & Eve5 Biblical Passages Explained6 Commandments Explained7 Reincarnation in the Bible8 Baptism www.phoenesse.com

Our Lower Selves are all following the same script, and the plot is always the same: to keep us in separation. It's only by getting to know our true Higher Selves-where we long for deeper connection-that we can change the storyline of our lives.Now, in Spilling the Script, Jill Loree pulls together the powerful spiritual teachings from the Guide to expose the source of our difficulties and give us the map we need to live authentically and free ourselves from struggle. This concise overview delivers a clear, high-level perspective about self-discovery and healing, which is key for creating harmony, inside and out. For that's exactly what will happen-we will create inner and outer harmony-when we make contact with our divine core.Truth is, at the center of our beings, we are already fully healed and walking on sunshine. If that's not our day-to-day experience, this just points out to us where we still have work to do to clear some clouds. These teachings from the Guide act like rainmakers to empty the air of heaviness and lead us to live on the lighter side of life.Bit by bit, as we come out of the trance we have been in, we will begin to see cause and effect and to take responsibility for the state of our lives. Gradually, our lives will transform. We will once again sense our essential nature and eternal connectedness with all that is."You will find how you cause all your difficulties. You have already stopped regarding these words as mere theory, but the better you progress, the more will you truly understand just how and why you cause your hardships. By so doing, you gain the key to changing your life."- Pathwork(R) Guide, Lecture #78

The work of healing our fractured inner selves takes a little finesse, a lot of stick-to-it-iveness, and the skilled help of someone who has gone down this road before. Being a Helper then is about applying all we have learned on our own healing journey to help guide others through the process of reunifying their fragmented hidden places.That may sound simple, but it's surely not easy. It's also not easy to be the Worker, the one who does this work of spiritual healing. Now, with Healing the Hurt, everyone can understand the important skills needed by a Helper to assure Workers find what they're looking for.

Walker is a memoir about one woman's spiritual journey to open her heart and develop compassion. Through it all, her own gumption would be her steady companion. It starts out with a young girl raised in a singing Lutheran family where things looked good on the outside. But inside, Jill Loree was struggling. Later, she would "trudge the dreary road of happy destiny," as the AA Big Book puts it, getting sober at 26 and picking up only one white chip. That's not nothing, considering that most of Jill Loree's childhood memories are infused with her father's drinking. Her mother, on the other hand, had a controlling, co-dependent streak that wouldn't end. Sounds dreary, right? In this spiritual memoir however, Jill Loree artfully lifts the story out of the ditch and finds the grace weaving between the lines. Walker also merges in a touch of poetry-her own, her sons' and even her Dad's-adding heart, depth and levity to the telling. Her gentle wit and brisk writing pace keeps things moving along. True to the title, there's no need to sit and stew in misery. Today, Jill Loree's spiritual path is filled with the light of Christ, which is what she has discovered emerges from the core of one's being after clearing away the detritus accumulated in youth-just as the Pathwork Guide said it would. That's the deeper message she is now passionate about sharing, and which shines through in this warm telling of the story of her life.

Just what are the laws that rule this precious land? Turns out, there are an infinite number of laws that govern everything that happens. And while Spiritual Laws does not claim to be comprehensive in covering them all, this sampling of teachings from the Pathwork Guide does a nice job of explaining how this sphere works.Understanding this will help us grasp the truth that behind our trials, there is a method. That someone or something is behind life, working out a plan. So gather round and listen up. Because there are important guidelines we could all stand to know more about.

This collection is like the bones of a body-a framework around which the remaining body of work can arrange itself. Sure, there's a lot that needs to be filled in to make it all come to life, but with Bones, now we've got the basic building blocks in place. Plus the words go down like a strawberry milkshake-pleasing to the tongue yet with all the calcium we need for optimum health.If you're looking to build a solid foundation for personal growth and healing, Bones, will start you off on firm footing.
