Understanding Yourself: A Spiritual Approach to Self-Discovery and Soul-Awareness

The dark side. The synthetic self. The not-self. The Gnostics called it the counterfeiting spirit and the Theosophists called it the 'dweller-on-the-threshold'. There exists within all of us a collective consciousness of all our misdeeds, momentums of many lifetimes, which emerges as a pseudo-identity that wields human power and causes us to do those things we so often regret. The encounter with the enemy within has been vividly portrayed in classic works of literature such as Sir Bulwer-Lytton's Zanoni , Mary Shelley's Frankenstein , Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and in modern movie masterpieces such as Star Wars . From time to time, we contact the tip of the iceberg in our tendency to fear, to be jealous or to get angry and we see those who have become one with their dweller committing rape and mass murder.

The missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul changed the course of history. But what history does not record is that Paul returned for one more life as the great mystic and miracle-worker Saint Hilarion. Walking in the footsteps of Jesus, Hilarion also cast out devils, healed the sick, raised the dead-and finally had to flee to the wilderness to escape the crowds that thronged around him. Hilarion ascended at the conclusion of that life and now guides and inspires scientists, healers, doctors, musicians and all those dedicated to the flame of Truth. This book tells the amazing story of Hilarion's lives on earth and shares his keys for healing body, mind and soul. Download free chapter
