Book Review -
There are times when we all have questioned reality and contemplated the deeper meaning of life and the world. Although we often got lost in the hodgepodge of content and theories and failed to grasp anything useful. If you can relate to this, then Kim Bentley's book An Introduction to Spirituality will be the perfect fit for you.
I received this book late last year in November and had the chance to read it when I suffered from COVID. So why am I telling this? Because that's when I was at a low point in my life, and when you read this kind of work, it brings you back and gives meaning to one's life.
I have read many books on this topic, but this stands out for two reasons. Firstly, most of the segments are inspired by Emanuel Swedenborg's spiritual teachings, and secondly, Kim Bentley integrates spirituality and elements of religion in a unique and accessible way.
An Introduction to Spirituality is not a step-by-step guide to follow. Instead, it is a book that feels like you're having open discussions with the author, who simplifies and makes sense of the vast subject of spirituality without losing meaning.
This book is divided into seven parts, including ourselves, our relationship with the divine, spiritual growth, consciousness, and life in the other dimensions. What we see in the mirror is our physical self, but there is so much more around our body that we cannot see but can sometimes feel. Each person has a different aura; when we come near them, we can feel their energies, whether good or evil. Unfortunately, many of us never focus on these facts, but these are significant if we wish for a peaceful life.
In some parts of the text, I felt I was reading more about other authors' works than Kim's individual experiences. I believe spirituality is about peace of mind and attaining higher knowledge, separate from religion and God. However, this illuminating work has helped me have a more comprehensive and holistic outlook on the subject.
Kim Bentley's work will help you understand the universal concept of spirituality in lucid language. A beginner can pick this book to get acquainted with the subject, but I recommend it to those who are already keen on spirituality and looking for something fresh to grasp.
