Book Cover & Preview Text
The journey that you will take through these pages wholly regards the restoration of the sacred to the heart of humanity. I have termed it ‘the process of psychospiritual becoming’ because when you step upon this path you undertake a sacred journey through your psychological and spiritual states of being, so that you become fully awakened to the nature of your true self. In this process you become your true self, brought to your soul by way of your spirit. The journey to the soul brings you to an awareness of your authentic being so that you may come to live your life animated by the sacredness that rests within you. In embarking on the journey to the soul, the soul invites us to meet our authentic self, so that the mind can know the true nature of who we are. As we progress down the path, the soul will reveal the many facets of our nature so that our current state of awareness and understanding of the self can be transformed to embody our inherent identity. In turning the mind around, our actions better reflect our soul and our lives become an expression of our original principle. The journey to the soul is a gradual process of spiritual transformation, because if the soul were to bring us to this state immediately, the nature of the mind is such that it would likely refuse to go along for the ride. The transformed spiritual way of being is significantly different from how we currently know ourselves to be; it is a state that we are yet to be awakened to. To the mind, the ‘end state’ of our spiritual becoming (the state to which the psychospiritual journey ultimately takes us) feels incongruent with what it knows and would be perceived as a threat to our current way of existing. The mind, then, would serve to protect us from any perceived harm by preventing our perception of it. Acknowledging the nature of the mind on the journey to psychospiritual becoming, the soul works in a gradual way, progressively bringing us through ourselves in order to reveal itself to us. To arrive at the transformed state of psychospiritual being, we must first take an authentic look at the many things that contribute to our lives so that we can better understand ourselves, each other and the world we live in. Although the process of self and external reflection is necessary, it will likely feel quite confrontational, as the soul asks that you look at the reality of your life with a clear lens so that you may prepare an authentic ground from which you can grow. In understanding this, you have already begun to prepare yourself to embark on the journey of your alchemical spiritual transcendence.

About the Book
There was a time when the sacred was an inseparable part of the world. But as the human mind developed, how we sensed and approached the sacred changed, and the sacred became so far removed from our soul that by the dawn of the twentieth century, Friedrich Nietzsche proclaimed the fall of God from the perspective of man. Bringing the sacred back into our lives can bring us enormous benefits, but to do so, we must take an authentic look at ourselves and the world we live in. Spiritual counselor M. R. Aurisch takes you through that process in this life-changing guide that helps you look at your life with a clear lens, so you can prepare an authentic ground from which to grow. By turning inward, you’ll find God in your soul and advance on your own spiritual journey and soulful evolution. Embark on a journey to psychospiritual becoming and recognize the spiritual, physical, and experiential aspects of being with the insights and guidance in Sacred Union.
