Luminous Life. Jacob Israel Liberman

      It is amazing how a simple idea can change your life. Think back on the turning points in your own personal evolution and the wonderful teachers and concepts that facilitated your awakenings to an easier, healthier, happier, and more successful life.

      Many years ago, I was living with a scientist who introduced me to a very simple way of life that has made all the difference. I noticed that she did not organize her life. Instead of thinking and planning and stressing about what to do, when she got up in the morning she simply took care of the first thing that presented itself, and then the second, and so on, throughout the day. In this way she navigated effortlessly through life’s adventures regardless of how challenging or complex they might be. There was no thinking, choosing, planning, or worrying about what might happen. While this sounds quite simple, in this book Dr. Jacob Israel Liberman explores this way of being in a much larger context.

      In Luminous Life, Liberman elaborates on this relaxed and productive way of life by considering the role light plays in it: anything that catches your eye is actually looking for you. Light brings your awareness to your responsibilities, guides you from moment to moment, and creates a life filled with purpose and meaning. “We need not prioritize anything, because the intelligence of life has already done that for us.” Living in this space is what he refers to as presence. “Not knowing. . .allows true wisdom to reveal itself.” The landmark book you have in your hands documents these concepts and much more.

      Liberman explains how this approach to daily life enables us to allow light — and its faithful companion, breath — to guide us and to “see the inner workings of our lives with greater clarity and acceptance.” He cites ancient wisdom summarized by Mahatma Gandhi: “There is a force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results” (chapter 4).

      My current research involves documenting the science behind this “force in the universe.” Liberman’s writings have greatly facilitated my process of discovery. He points out that this force animates “the navigational system within us” that is “inseparable from that which animates everything in the universe.” Surrendering to “pure awareness” of this force can lead to miracles and profound healing. “Many of our physical and emotional ailments are the result of our bodies being misdirected by ideas that are in conflict with our well-being” (chapter 8).

      Luminous Life will give you a totally new perspective on the many roles of light and breath in your personal evolution — on what it truly means to see. It will help you uncover your purpose or destiny and how living it brings forth your essence, changing your world and the world around you. I like to say that when you are “on purpose” or following your destiny, the wind will fill your sails and the tools you need will appear.

      Much of Liberman’s storytelling begins with an account of an experience that led to a simple and penetrating but rarely asked question, followed by an answer that can be as startling as it is revealing. For example, he asks about the source of the light we experience in our dreams. Dreams reveal how the rainbows of our inner light interact with our subconscious mind to expose deep truths about our waking experiences, as well as our “limitless nature” (chapter 5).
