Understanding and Connecting with Your Spiritual Self
by Rev. Lisa M. Gawlas, CHt
Being "psychic", or as I prefer to say, "Spiritually Connected" is a birthright to every human being on this planet. We are all connected.
Two aspects make up your life. One is your physical mind (ego), and the other is your spiritual mind (love). This handbook is designed to help you understand the deference between these two aspects. Learn how to recognize your ego thoughts from your spiritual thoughts.
I would like to offer you some glimpses of what is offered to you in the handbook. I have included the title and a brief excerpt of that section.
Reading and Learning from the Heart (an excerpt from the handbook)
...You look at a book as black and white, empty space, and the written word. You may tend to read the words and skip over the white space. When you do this, you are missing the most important aspect of the book.
The author’s energy is contained in the white space. It is here that you will be able to feel and know the truth of anything you ever read. You can feel the truth or the misinformation; you can understand the broader picture as it relates to you. It is the most valuable aspect of the book or printed material that you have. ...
(Learn how to filter information thru the heart where all of your truth lays)
Ego vs. Self (an excerpt from the handbook)
...Ego in conflict with what I call SELF (Simultaneously Evolving Life Form) has been a source of confusion for many as to what exactly is involved in the struggle. The confusion lies in the fact that Ego feels it must display its mastery over our logic systems. ...
(Learn how to recognize ego from spirit as well as integrate the two.)
Fear (an excerpt from the handbook)
We are all birthed of the light…
We are all stardust…
We have just forgotten…and covered our light with the cloak of darkness.
This cloak is layer upon layer of fear.
Earth is cloaked in fear.
Earth is a plane of the vibration of fear.
Now then, fear is not just fright….
(Understand the many aspects of fear that we hold in our lives, how is affects us, and the easiest ways to start releasing these fears.)
Abundance (an excerpt from the handbook)
...Some time ago, I talked to a psychic who charged eighty dollars an hour. She justified the amount by saying that God said we are to have “abundance.” At the time, I was a novice in the spiritual arena and figured God thinks we all should have lots of money...always, but I wondered why I was missing out on this abundance thing. ...
(Understand the true meaning of abundance and prosperity)
The Challenge of Self-love (an excerpt from the handbook)
...Do you feel it is much easier to love someone other than yourSelf? Why do you think that is? Is it that your really think other people are more lovable than you are, or is it that you feel selfish loving yourSelf above anyone else?...
...You will find that as you move yourSelf into acceptance and unconditional love of yourSelf... you will never, ever feel empty or lonely again. You are the love you always dreamed of. Embrace your power, embrace yourSelf!...
(Learn how to truly love yourself and how that self love will enhance the love you share with others. A detailed exercise is included)
Unconditional Love (an excerpt from the handbook)
... I believe love at the soul level is pure... untainted by human emotions and expectations.
Integrating that love into our humanness is not easy... it filters through our egos and our subconscious and becomes tainted by our own conditioning and expectations of what we believe and are taught about “love.” ...
(I have touched on this subject matter extensively along with releasing judgement, which goes hand in hand with unconditional love)
Spiritual Guides and Teachers (an excerpt from the handbook)
... There are three forces that are always present and helping us: Our higherSelf or soul energy, our spiritual guides, and our spiritual teachers.
Our spiritual guides have been with us since before we were born into this physical life. They know our life plan better than we do (since they are not clothed in matter and have no ego to distract them). They know what we planned for ourselves in this lifetime, the experiences we wished to experience, and the goals we wished to achieve. ...
(Here are our best resources for reaching our full potential. Understand the magic and desire of these wonder-filled Beings, as well as how to communicate with them.)
Energy and the Way it Communicates (an excerpt from the handbook)
... One of the most important aspects of understanding the world of spirit is to equally understand the world of energy. Not as a complicated science project, but as the bodily makeup of every-thing, both seen and unseen.
There is not a thing in creation that is not energy vibrating at its own level of frequency. Even something as mundane as the car we drive is compressed energy. Our brains take this energy and process it into what we experience as matter. What we are actually doing is reading that energy, filtering it through our logical minds, and externalizing it as matter. ...
(Another subject area I have covered extensively. I feel it is as important to understand energy and how to interact with it as it is to learn how to meditate.)
Spiritual Awareness-Choosing One-ness (an excerpt from the handbook)
...Our minds are powerful entities. What we "think" truly becomes what "is" in our reality, but we need all the pieces of the puzzle of "awareness" to create the harmony of mind, body, and Spirit that we desire. I believe that the largest puzzle pieces come from the habitual way we think.
Choosing spiritual awareness is a way of life. It is not something we can practice an hour or two each day and expect major changes. We change our awareness as we change the way we perceive life and the way we react to it. It is a learned behavior, a way of life, and achieved differently in each individual. ...
(Includes various approaches to relaxing, releasing, and most importantly connecting to all that you are.)

A few comments sent to me:
Hi Lisa,
I thought the least I could do was read your book and I feel so truly blessed that I did. I can honestly tell you that it is the most beautiful touching and moving not to mention instructional works that I've read in ages. It is truly a work of art and your poem moved me to tears. It was also frightening when I read it and it hit home so many times. I now see that I'm supposed to be here at this time. I giggled when I read the part of your computer breakdown and how you feel such a sense of loss (that one really hit home!). Each time that I came to an enlightenment or realization, you'd mention it in the next paragraph or chapter. The way I've been feeling or the strange sensations. The parts that touched me deeply were the chapters about love and not being judgmental. I cried my way through, it was wonderful! I'm so grateful that I was put on this path and that you're there to open my eyes. It is a "Great Awakening". I've been meditating and I'm learning to let the "beautiful white light " envelop me. I've let the darkness envelop me far too long.
I just needed to thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing such a lovely book (and for making it uncomplicated for we infants in our spiritual quest). I also thank you for having faith in me. I hope you have a lovely weekend....I know mine will be spent in a contemplative, meditative state pondering my bourgeoning spiritual development.
Love & Blessings,
Lily
Hi Lisa:
I want to express my graditute and thanks for your beatiful book on line UNDERSTANDING AND CONNECTING WITH YOUR SPIRITUAL SELF. I think its a wonderful and inspiring thin g that you put your book on the computer for FREE. There are so many people out in the Universe who are searching for the truths about themselfs, want to seek out classes but they are way out of means of their financial pockets. I know we all have to earn a living, but you receive what you have by what you give and share with others. There is no money or cost to spirituality and learning about it or finding out who you are. WE need to connect more with sharing ourselves with others since we are all connected as one and theres no money that should be charged for that to those who are hungry for knowledge and rememberance that can't afford it. You have written a wonderful and simple book and have given many blessings to so many and making a difference in the Universe. Your book is easy to understand. I have read thousands of books, been to classes and it all adds up to your book in simplicity and love. Thank you again for sharing your blessings with me. I know you are blessed in many ways. Keep up the good work we need you or the Universe needs you. Love and blessings: NAMASTE: RUTHANN
Lisa,
Have you had other people tell you that you have changed their life and made such a profound impact on their lives?
I know you don't really like to take credit for it (as it is my spirit guides talking to you) but you seem to have been the exact right person to come into my life and the exact right moment. Everything from your similar life experiences, to your teaching methods and your talented gift have been a true Godsend to me.
Sorry if I'm humbling you more ;) but I just wanted to tell you that.
Much thanks and love,
Lee
Dear Lisa,
Thanks for the speedy delivery of your book. It was sure a remarkable experience to read it. Fascinating, both you and the book. There were some elements that especially caught my attention and interest where I am very keen on moving forward with my own spiritual experiences. ...
Best regards and with love,
Peter
Hi Lisa,
I got your book, and find it very helpful. i havent had time to finish it yet, i am about half way through, but what i have read so far flows very smoothly. Whenever something causes me to have a question, the next line has the answer. I think the reason that happens is that you use personal experiences to describe the process, and that is very helpful because I can relate to it much better than with most of the books at the bookstore. ...
Sincerely
Jeremy
Hi Lisa,
Your book is excellent, I was dissapointed when it finished, and could do with further reading. The first book I read that was funny and lighthearted and to the point.
Sending you much,
Caroline
Hello Lisa,
I read your book yesterday and I loved it.
It has reinforced what others have said and this is good news to me.
I feel that this is a great tool that I can use to further my spiritual path.
The book was easy to read and understand.
You hit so many things right on the head.
The Song of the Universe was beautiful.
Thanks Lisa for helping me along the path.
Greg
