Spiritual Resources Review

"If Eckhart Tolle, A Course in Miracles or The Secret opened you to a new way of seeing,
but you still don't know how to apply them to your life,
you've come to the right place."

 

We believe it's all about FOCUS:
 

If you focus on what you want to create while deeply feeling all of the joy you believe you'd feel if you already had it, you cannot help but attract it to you. But if you have practiced this method of Conscious Creation (commonly known as Law of Attraction) we suspect that you have discovered the same thing we've discovered: Even though Law of Attraction always works (it is the law, after all), you're not always able to work it!

 

Why Haven't You been 100% Successful in Your Attempts at

Conscious Creation using Law of Attraction?

 

 

Ask Yourself This Question:

If You Could Create Just One Thing  for Yourself

Right Now That You Could Keep Forever  ,

What Would You Create?

 

 

Here's the Key: If you're setting out to create anything other than your own Spiritual Awakening, you're entertaining distractions, and you will not get the results you want.

 

But this is not a judgment about what is "right" or "wrong" to create. 

 

It’s a wake-up call  for those who are putting energy into trying to create possessions and situations they think will make them happy, when the only thing that brings true, lasting happiness isn’t a thing at all:  it's a deeply felt experience of your own Inner Divinity. (And think about it: All of the possessions and situations that would really  bolster your happiness can’t help but appear in your experience if your full focus is on creating and maintaining a deep and lasting experience of “God” in your life.)

 

This web site exists to help spiritual seekers create

deep, permanent Divine Connection without the mental and

emotional distractions that are far too common in spiritual pursuits.

 

SpiritualResourcesReview.com is also privileged to offer you original resources that will help you to create what we call “Divine Connection without Distraction”—one of which we are happy to give you free of charge at the bottom of this page!

 

 

But let us be clear that the resources reviewed here are spiritual, rather than religious, in nature.   There is no dogma here—only: 1) the loving consideration of all viewpoints, and 2) the evaluation of spiritual materials based mostly on the degree to which they foster an experience of Divine Connection without Distraction. 

 

In short, if a resource is found to be a bullet train to Spiritual Awakening

which takes no unnecessary detours, we like it.

 

As we continue to find new resources that pass the “bullet train” test, we’ll joyfully add them to SpiritualResourcesReview!  We also appreciate hearing your thoughts and comments on our site and on your own expereinces with the resources presented here, and we invite you to post that and any other feedback you have on Our Blog. Here are the top resources that we've reviewed so far:


Quick Review Summary

The Awakening course by Dr. Joe Vitale

Vitale’s Awakening Course is a rare example of how to take yourself from “where you are now” to a state of what he calls Awakening. Joe is all about finding an experience of Godself, and he’s become one of our favorite guides. He’s like the loving friar in Robin Hood or Romeo and Juliet, joyfully walking you through the woods on the way to your encounter with the Divine (or in the case of those two books, certain death.) Just Kidding, Joe...

Wallace D. Wattles - Rare Collected Works

What we love best about Wattles is that all of his work answers one essential question: How then shall we live? This is the kind of thing you read in one room and then run with it into the next room and read it to anyone who’ll listen. His insights into Divine Connection are some of the best we’ve ever found. Though he died 100 years ago, you’ll have no doubt but that he’s writing just for you every time he puts pen to paper.

Our Rating System

 

We rate the spiritual resources reviewed on this site according to the following 5 criteria:

 

Quality and Amount of Material

Practicality

Understandability

Technical Simplicity / Clean Transaction

Divine Connection without Distraction


Most of the criteria we’re using for these reviews are fairly objective and easily measured, but some are not. Below are descriptions of each of the five criteria:

 

Quality and Amount of Materials: We live in a world where anybody with a computer can write a book and self-publish it or create a spiritual development resource and put it online. There are no gate-keepers anymore, and that means that some pretty shoddy writing makes it into print and some low quality audio and video can become part of an online offering. We have examined these factors for you in advance and have rated each of the resources reviewed here as to the quality of the writing and the production values of any audio and/or video material in them.

 

It is also the case that some of the resources offer more hours of material than others. In this assessment, the resource doesn’t score higher or lower depending upon the number of hours of listening, viewing or reading it offers. Rather it is rated on its hours of material relative to its cost. For example, if one of the more expensive resources offered fewer hours of content than the less expensive resources, it would get downgraded in this assessment.

 

Practicality: It’s just not enough for a resource to present information that’s “correct;” it has to be relevant, meaningful and useful too. If a resource reviewed was highly theoretical or just too complex for most people to apply to their lives, we might still include a review of it if it had some other very redeeming feature. However, we’d want to be very up-front with you about the highly theoretical nature of the material.

 

Resources score highest in this category if they include lots of examples of how the resource or the concepts in it can be applied to everyday living. However, we have found in some instances that we’ve sometimes initially given a resource a fairly high practicality score only to realize later that the material didn’t really stick with us for very long. If this is the case, a resource will sometimes end up downgraded in this assessment. On the other hand, if we find ourselves recalling and applying the material again and again, the resource gets a very high practicality score.

 

Understandability: While this is pretty self-explanatory, it has some nuances too. Some resources will be fairly fundamental and others will begin with an assumption that you’ve got some level of background in what they’re teaching. A resource will not be upgraded or downgraded depending on the level of development that it assumes in its users. Instead this assessment will be based on the degree to which concepts and ideas and their applications are explained clearly. If there are leaps in logic, or unreasonable assumptions made, the resource is downgraded.

 

Technical Simplicity/Clean Transaction: This score takes into consideration everything from the experience of reading the copy on the resource creator’s web site, to the ease of ordering, paying and downloading and to whether placing an order gets you automatically signed up for anything you might not want.

 

In internet marketing, there’s something called “forced conversion” which refers to situations where you give your credit card to pay for something small, like postage and handling, and then you unwittingly sign up for automatic replenishment of a product you may or may not want. Credit card companies do this with their various identity theft protection products. You opt in to something that charges your credit card a fee every month and you’re able to “cancel it at any time.” They can call it a free service because technically it is, but if you don’t take action, you get charged again and again.

 

Forced conversions REALLY bug usand you won’t find any resources with undisclosed or obscured forced conversions in them on this review site.

 

Divine Connection without Distraction: Of course, this is the ranking that matters most. What’s the use of pursuing anything related to spiritual development if you’re just going to end up in mental and emotional distraction and not get a felt experience of your Inner Divinity? Within the reviews, this score will usually be short-handed as “Divine Connection.”

 

While it’s true that someone really focused on Divine Connection can have a felt experience of his or her Inner Divinity while studying literally anything, there are certain bodies of work that help keep people pointed toward the Divine, and others that offer so much that is off that subject, that they can lead the less focused among us into a quagmire of intellectual and emotional distraction.

 

As you look at the resource score, we would caution you not to just look at the score that each resource got in this category. Read what it says in the review about its Connection vs. Distraction score too, because it’s never really a black-and-white decision. Since anything can be used to facilitate Divine Connection and anything can become a source of distraction, the explanations of our Connection vs. Distraction scores for each resource are more informative than the actual scores they’ve received.

 

The spiritual resources we’ve selected all have something to offer spiritual seekers who are looking for Divine Connection without Distraction.

Whether you’re looking for a resource that gives you a general spiritual overview, helps you clear your mental and emotional debris, or is just a basic course in conscious creation, you’re likely to find what you’re looking for here. And more importantly, you’ll be meeting these resources in a context that ensures that you won’t get bogged down in distraction while you’re learning how to get connected and stay connected!

You may decide that one of the resources is just right for you, but we’ve also made suggestions about some very effective combinations.

We invite you now to commit to just three things in your research:

1)      Keep an open mind,

2)      Trust your gut, and

3)      Do only what feels good to you.

And remember - It’s all about Divine Connection

without Distraction!!
