A "must read" if you are on the spiritual path but feel something is missing
|
Feelings are as important as Spirit - this was so different and exciting to me that I didn't want to stop until I'd finished this book. I've now read it through several times and bought copies for friends to read. I've read hundreds of new age books and this is very different from anything else out there on the spiritual aspects.

profound truths
|
This book is the first of a series of astonishing books by Ceanne DeRohan, all of which should be bestsellers. Right Use of Will was first published in the 1980s, long before most of the other new age revelations starting coming out, from the mid-1990s onwards - first a trickle, now a flood. And the series remains way ahead of most such books, of which I've read literally several hundreds: this series is unique.
These books call the emotional body the "Will" and identify it as the feminine aspect. Emotions as our Will? This seems odd until you learn, in books about the brain, that people who cannot access their feelings because of brain damage are simply unable to make decisions. They can logically calculate the advantages and disadvantages of each choice but, because they just don't know how they feel about each choice, they're stuck. Clearly feelings drive decisions and this means willpower is only accessible through emotions. This is not what we've all been taught, is it?
"Negative" emotions have been judged against for eons but the problem is that, the more we suppress and deny those uncomfortable emotions, the less we can feel the so-called "positive" emotions. Society imposes control by the use of guilt, instead of the natural ease and rightness of actions when all emotions are allowed to flow freely and evolve. When emotions are feared and blocked, the result is pain and dis-ease.
The other books (which are best read in this order) are Original Cause I, Original Cause II, Earthspell, Heartsong, Land of Pan, Imprinting, and Indigo. Many books pay lipservice to the four basic dimensions (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical) but most stint the emotional, a major - and possibly deliberate - oversight, as these profound books show. For those who work with the information from David R Hawkins' books, including "Truth vs Falsehood; how to tell the difference", these books calibrate at over 900 on a scale of 1000.
These books are already classics, going deeply into our origins, including hidden agendas operating right from the start. They are not easy to read with the conventional mind, the emotional body's co-operation is required. Each seems almost more fantastic than the previous one, but I have met the author and can vouch for her sanity and groundedness. I sense the truth resonating from every page of these books, which is not necessarily the case with so many other channeled or new age books.
P.S. Since writing the above, I understand that the book is currently shown as "unavailable" but the series can all be purchased directly from the author. Just put the book title into a search engine to find her website.

on the importance of being Will
|
Far from being a dry, philosophical treatise on the Will, this book presents a readable channelled account of the importance of the Will (for Will, read feelings) and why the Will needs expression and development rather than denial, so that Will and Spirit are more in balance. I'd previously always associated the Will, or free-will as having more to do with the mind than the emotional body so it gave me a new perspective on the whole thing. According to this book, most of the human race is apparently suffering from repression or denial of the Will, and yet the Will is needed to inform Spirit
of what experience in form is like, seeming to work together in the ideal, with Spirit providing the guidance and experience needed. A lot is written about denial, both within ourselves and how this is reflected out into society.
Emotional release and judgement release are stressed as being an important part of our healing.
This book emphasizes that emotions have a role to fulfill in our evolution and cannot be denied in favour of the mind or anything else, because they do not just go away if not given complete expression at the time. What happens is that the next situation which arises that reminds the emotions of a situation when they were denied, the emotions don't feel they can respond freely, and so the current response is coloured by both this and the unreleased emotional charge as a result of not expressing one's true feelings the first time. "The usual pattern has been to increase the original denial rather than to fully allow the emotions to express what seems to be [now] an even more intense response than what was originally denied." It recommends we get rid of our past rage privately without harm to others, so that we no longer give conditioned responses triggered by past events, or deny any parts of ourselves (our feelings) when confronted with future events. It expands on this theme of ending self-denial, expressing emotions, and releasing judgements to include a section on drugs, a chapter on sex, and a bit about the Feminine Principle. There is also mention of Lemuria and Atlantis and how both continents gravitated to one extreme of the polarity rather than achieving balance, Lemuria overdeveloping the Will and Atlantis overdeveloping the Spirit. I also learned that even such things as manners and compromise are another way we try to deny our Will, and that most of our denial is so subtle we are often not even aware of it. Although this is a slim volume it is full of fascinating insights and a sometimes radical new perspective that could benefit even a second reading. As an avid reader of channelled works this book threw up info I've not encountered elsewhere. It is meant to trigger something within us rather than be an intellectual excercise and I loved the opening passage which stated this, saying "if this book is for you, you will know it from these few introductory pages." Well, I was intrigued from the start and hooked throughout - a delightful book, which will no doubt become a classic of its time although highly relevant now.
