"This information gifts people the power to stand in their truth. Our time in history demands that every single person who can stand for truth come forward." She's Arrived! A contemporary voice of the Deep Feminine has finally come to join today's conversation on consciousness and enlightenment. In The Sacred Book of U, Ruth Gould-Goodman-mother and wife, dancer, breath-movement master, and oriental and energy medicine practitioner-elucidates a fresh, philosophically sophisticated, and accessible perspective on feminine spiritual enlightenment. For the modern student (or new devotee) of consciousness and the power of mind, The Sacred Book of U offers a nuanced and compassionate understanding of positive vs. negative thinking. Obviating the typical dualistic posture towards negativity or pain of many consciousness paths, The Sacred Book of U radically proposes that pain is the Universe knocking on our door, providing the only human way into expanded consciousness and true spiritual growth. The Voice of the Mother, moreover, asserts that spiritual growth can only be initiated through the body-the universal yet uniquely individual portal to a holistic divinity in an otherwise divided and fragmented world. Birthed from a lifetime's marriage of body-breath movement practice and a deep, clear mind, Ruth's work provides a tangible, grounded, and whole-systems perspective on authentic transformation. Complete with personal stories containing universal messages, mind-body exercises for practical application, and philosophical discussion of some of today's most pressing global concerns, The Sacred Book of U is a treasure for spiritual readers and students lookingfor an accessible path of enlightened living and a truly holistic and grounded spiritual practice. The world has been withheld from the feminine's 'secret' for too long! Those who have been ready for an alternative to the long-dominant masculine voices of spirituality will experience Ruth's teachings with relief and eager enthusiasm.
