I here intend to show you how one may come to find such solace - within one's inner-most self - and then shall have no further need to be consoled by others. No consolation you receive from others can ever free you from the shackles of your grief - unless such comfort teaches you how you may break those chains yourself. And how that inner art is learned, and put to use, the present work will teach you. Solace is of value only as a counter-force: an energy that lends you strength to overcome the hostile force of grief. No grief is everlasting, and you alone have power to prolong its life beyond its given span. If you would find enduring solace in yourself you must not blindly delve into your grief, nor constantly reopen wounds that are about to heal. It is above all else essential that your thoughts shall not continuously dwell upon and cleave to what you suffer.
This book employs the concept 'Resurrection' to signify the human being's spiritual awakening amidst the phantoms and decay of physical existence. Thus considered, 'Resurrection' means the rising from the leaden sleep of minds who dream they are awake. "Resurrection" here is not the arbitrary gift reserved by an imagined higher power for believers, but every human being's spiritually given obligation and potential. How this obligation is fulfilled, the author shows in all his books from different perspectives. The present book would make the reader comprehend that people can be physically awake while being spiritually fast asleep, and that this state is typical for the majority. It follows that the concepts "knowledge", "God", "Eternal Life" and others touching final things, which spiritually sleeping minds debate, are in reality no more than intellectual fabrications. The objective truth that underlies these concepts can be apprehended only when the individual has been spiritually "resurrected". As the attainment of this all-surpassing goal requires competent advice, knowledgeable guidance, and effective help, the book sheds light on what is to be known and done, and what should be avoided.
This book offers guidance about practices that derive their
power from elusive or hidden laws of the natural world: astrology,
palm reading, fortune telling, the use of talismans and amulets,
hypnotism, dream interpretation, and the gift of prophecy. Bo Yin Ra explains that these practices are not necessary
for-and should not be confused with-spiritual development.
Nevertheless, individuals on the path need to know about these
practices because their inner development can be helped, hindered,
or even halted by them. Bo Yin Ra points out that ancient peoples were more aligned with
the world of nature and natural laws and therefore able to glean
insights that are often looked down on in our scientifically
oriented world. This is not a scholarly or scientific treatise: What Bo Yin Ra
presents are insights gained through his unique capacity to probe
reality. This book should be read together with his other books,
especially the trilogy consisting of The Book On The Living God,
The Book On Life Beyond, and The Book On Human Nature. E.W.S., Publisher" "The Kober Press's translations of the books of Bo Yin Ra are

"Words of Life" is a book whose title pays homage to a passage in
the Fourth Gospel (6:68). Here, the Words of Life are spoken by God
to a human soul in search of the source of all Being, to guide it
to the path that will lead it to that goal. The qualities that lend
the soul the strength to succeed in its quest are made the central
topics of the chapters: Turning Inward, Love, Action, Struggle,
Peace, and Trust. Having achieved its goal, and attained
Illumination, the awakened soul expresses its joy in a vow of
devotion. "The Kober Press's translations of the books of Bo Yin Ra are

In this book the author shows not only what is without question the
highest goal that human beings can achieve in mortal life, but also
how that timeless goal can be attained, so long as the resources of
the physical body still offer the means to perform the "work,"
which ceases when "the night has come." The goal on which this book
sheds light surpasses all other quests in temporal existence in
that its attainment, the recovery of conscious self-awareness in
the Spirit's realm, transforms the vague belief in some eternal
life into an objective, permanent experience. While all material
goals, however mighty and ambitious, are limited in space and time,
conscious self-awareness in the Spirit, is not affected by the laws
of matter. As in his other works, the author also here illuminates
the structure of spiritual reality, and offers practical advice how
that reality may be discovered in one's daily life, which thus
gains meaning and enlightened purpose. "The Kober Press's translations of the books of Bo Yin Ra are

In this book the author clarifies the fundamental difference
between addressing an imagined "God" in order to receive desired
benefits, and the spiritual transformation of one's inner life that
is the precondition to establish contact with the eternal powers
that are able, in reality, to offer help to human beings in
distress. The book explains the underlying principles of real
prayer, and how the art of conscious prayer functions in the
Spirit's world. While effective prayer, not merely prattling
litanies, is an essential source of strength and insight in this
present life, its highest goal is to awaken the awareness of the
human mortal's timeless life. "The Kober Press's translations of the books of Bo Yin Ra are

This book confirms, all atheists and skeptics notwithstanding, that
faith in God is not the stubborn superstition of untutored or
misguided minds, but the experience of an energy that reconnects
the spiritual human being with the primordial Ground of Being that
sustains all levels of existence. The God, however, whom
enlightened faith has every reason to believe is not the mentally
constructed phantom of theology full of contradictions, fraught
with human flaws, unfeeling but omnipotent who created the
ever-expanding universe in a few days, but a reality transcending
intellect, philosophy and science, whose power human beings are
capable of apprehending through experience. Once experienced, all
"belief" is made irrelevant, and faith becomes united with its
object. How that ultimate experience is attained in mortal life,
the guidelines of The Path to God describe in terms that shed
authentic light on life's profoundest mystery. "The Kober Press's translations of the books of Bo Yin Ra are

The joy experienced in creative work alone is real happiness, and all things else you might regard as such will surely, if you trust them, betray and rob you of true happiness, as much as one can find it in this life. Bear in mind that even here and now - indeed, while you are reading this - you find yourself in the very midst of eternal life. And what you cannot here and now accomplish for yourself, no "God above" shall in your place create for you in all eternity. By virtue of creating happiness in your own life, you tangibly increase the sum of happiness experienced on this earth. And thereby you accomplish more for mankind as a whole than by attempting to establish in your outer world the most beguiling of utopian theories.
Although in all his books the author stresses the distinction
between the world of mental notions and the objective spiritual
reality that underlies all physical perceptions, "The Book on Love"
is of particular significance as it distinguishes expressions of
emotional attachment from the elemental cosmic force sustaining all
creation. Few words are used so readily, and with a wider range of
connotations, reaching from an attribute of God to the material
realm of physical desire, than is the concept "love." Yet while
incessantly abused by thoughtless speech, the substance of the
world is not debased; even as the sun is not defiled by shining on
a putrid swamp. What fundamentally distinguishes all forms of human
love from the almighty cosmic force which also bears that name, is
that the former need an object they attract and would possess,
while the latter the divine, celestial revelation of that power is
wholly free of all attachment, being perfect and sufficient in
itself. It is the latter form of love that animates the Spirit's
infinite dimensions, and its reflection must inspire human souls
who would experience what all the great historical religions had
been founded to convey. A special chapter in the present book sheds
light on the historical life and mission of Jesus of Nazareth, who
was the greatest Mediator of that highest form of love embodied in
this life, which made him able to accomplish his redemptive
sacrifice at Golgotha. "The Kober Press's translations of the books of Bo Yin Ra are

The articles and shorter pieces collected in this volume provide a
brief but comprehensive introduction to the author's writings, his
background, and perspective. In particular, it offers a synopsis of
his forty published works, together with short commentaries on
their contents. This book has been compiled to let the interested
reader gain a clearer picture of the painter and writer Bo Yin Ra
whose unprecedented expositions in the fields of metaphysics,
religion, and philosophy are difficult to classify and have to be
examined by themselves, within their proper context. "The Kober Press's translations of the books of Bo Yin Ra are

The present book deals with a topic nowhere else discussed in the
extensive literature on attributes of spiritual life; i.e., the
intricate relationship between the Spirit's all-pervading,
all-sustaining radiant substance, and the tangible and concrete
forms in which this substance manifests its presence in material
life. The author shows that, in the Spirit's highest realms, form
and content are an integral identity; that nothing spiritual is
ever found devoid of form, and that all elements of form, even in
this physical domain, are ultimately based upon, and thus reflect,
the Spirit's infinite creative powers. It is for that reason that
human souls who would discover and experience the reality of
spiritual life need to develop an awareness of the close connection
between external form and inner content in their earthly lives.
Imposing form on all one's physical existence; one's work and play;
one's public and domestic life; one's impulses and feelings,
including joy and grief, is thus of critical importance if one
would be prepared to find the Spirit's realm within.To form oneself
is, finally, the highest task in life; for only what has reached
its perfect form can hope to enter in the Spirit's absolute
perfection. "The Kober Press's translations of the books of Bo Yin Ra are

In this book the author speaks to readers who are asking whether
human life on earth indeed has any meaning; and if so, what that
meaning is, and how one could pursue a meaningful existence. For
those who would not waste their lives in aimless theories, the
present work will offer solid grounds on which to build a life that
is not only spiritually secure and physically productive, but also
intellectually enlightened: because its guiding principles are
rooted in the recognition of eternal law. As in his "Book on
Happiness, " the author states that lasting joy is not a gift of
chance awarded from without, but rather the creation of an active
soul, so too the reader's life is bound to have no meaning unless
such meaning is created by determined human will. While there are many goals one can pursue to give one's life subjective meaning, the author shows that none surpasses that of which the ancient sages wrote as being mankind's "highest good" the conscious rediscovery of our timeless spiritual nature, through which not only our present life, but also our state in life beyond will be affected most profoundly. To help the reader recognize and reach that highest of all human goals remains the foremost aim of all the author's writings. It also is the purpose of the present work. And here he deals with, in particular, the mystery of evil manifest in human nature; the need to find a new approach to asking final questions; the dangers of experimenting with "occult" phenomena; the difference between subjective verities and absolute, objective Truth; and also of the subtle ways in which the Spirit's world is often apprehended unawares, and in the midst of ordinary daily life. Of special interest should prove the chapter on the benefits of
silence, given that this discipline seems nowadays to many a
forgotten art. Stressing that our present life is but the
preparation for the life to come, whose state will be determined
largely by our conduct here and now, the book concludes with this
advice: "If you would lend abiding purpose to your life on earth,
be sure that everything you undertake is always done in such a way
that it will likewise further values of a higher kind. For, in the
end, your present life will have true meaning only if it continues
to be fruitful, and if its harvest shall be yours to reap for all
eternity." "The Kober Press's translations of the books of Bo Yin Ra are

Ra's lifetime." Contents: A Call to the Lost. The Iniquity of the Fathers. The Highest Good. The "Evil" Individual. Summons from the World of Light. The Benefits of Silence. Truth and Verities. Conclusion." |
