Beautifully written and illustrated, Emmanuel's Book I is to be treasured, enjoyed and passed on to a friend. I know that there is. As Emmanuel points out, 'Who you are is a necessary step to being who you will be.'Beautifully written and illustrated, Emmanuel's Book I is to be treasured, enjoyed and passed on to a friend. I know that there is.I know that there is.With Judith Stanton, she wrote down and compiled her visions into three books— Emmanuel’s Book, Emmanuel’s Book II, and Emmanuel’s Book III —which have been translated into eleven languages. Judith Stanton is the co-author of Emmanuel’s Book, Emmanuel’s Book II, and Emmanuel’s Book III, with spiritual teacher Pat Rodegast.From my Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, I received encouragement to take teachings wherever I could find them and then to trust my intuitive heart to cull the teachings which would be useful from those which were irrelevant or potentially harmful. His support enabled me to open wide and receive rich returns from a great variety of different traditions and sources. Whether through the written words of such beings as Lao Tzu, the Buddha, the Third Chinese Patriarch, the Christ, Kabir, Ramana Maharshi, The Baal Shem Tov, Ramakrishna, etc., or the darshans of such noble souls as Grandpa Joe of the Taos Pueblo, Ananda Mayee Ma, Kalu Rinpoche of the Kargyu Tibetan Sect, Father Demasius of the Benedictines, Lama Govinda, Sayadaw U Pandita of the Therevadans, etc., I have profited greatly. Emmanuel, for me, is another of these voices. It is a priviledge to be able to introduce him to you and to share his teachings with you. I first heard Emmanuel on WBAI in New York City.http://www.communaute-st-yves.org/xmedia/fah12er2t-manual.xml

Actually, I heard Pat Rodegast reporting what Emmanuel was saying. She had been in contact for some time with this being whom she referred to as Emmanuel. She could contact him at will through meditative tuning and could hear him clearly though others around her could not. To each question asked by Lex Hixon, the host of the radio program, Pat relayed Emmanuel’s response. By the end of the show a number of questions of both a personal and general nature had arisen in my mind and I asked Judith Stanton, who had introduced me to Emmanuel through that program, to try to arrange an interview for me with Pat and Emmanuel. The interview was held in a quiet meditative room looking out on a garden. As we settled in, Pat started a tape recorder so that I could have a record of our conversation. Pat started to describe colors which she saw as associated with me. In the middle of this description she said, “Emmanuel wants to say something. Rather, Pat remained very much herself, but willingly conveyed Emmanuel’s words in a way that indicated that it was a relaxed, light, and quite delightful friendship that she shared with Emmanuel. The differences between them were very noticeable. Most obviously, there were marked differences in sentence structure, linguistic patterns, and choice of words. But more subtly, there was a vibratory difference as well. At first I barely noticed this subtle quality. However, in later interviews this vibratory space came to have as profound and significant a value for me as Emmanuel’s words. In that initial interview Pat also described other images she was seeing. Among them: “I see you very involved in playing a game. There is a feeling of tremendous excitement. That is not degrading it. But he didn’t let me rest on my laurels. He kept reassuring me that my human desires were very much part of my spiritual journey and that through them rather than in spite of them I would find God.https://www.thesourcebookonline.com/helpfiles/fahrenheat-fuh5-4-manual.xml As I reread the transcript of that first interview I see a confusion in our conversation that was only resolved as I came to recognize that Emmanuel was not speaking to me as I was used to being addressed. The reason it took me time to acclimate to Emmanuel’s conversation was because Emmanuel was addressing me as a fellow soul, not as an ego. After all, he did not identify himself with a particular timespace configuration and thus did not identify me in that way, either. This form of address at first seemed quaint, and I kept trying to translate it into ego address, assuming that he was speaking to me as a psychological being trying to awaken. Slowly, however, as I surrendered into the identity of a soul who was passing through an incarnation, the conversation not only became clear, but I realized that this unfamiliar form of address was, in itself, a liberating factor. Over time I have come to be quite comfortable being with Emmanuel as a fellow soul, and have all but forgotten the unusual (for me) fact that I am speaking with someone who is not embodied on the plane of reality that is so familiar to my senses. Emmanuel does not seem eager to satisfy our idle curiosity, however, and offers only the sketchiest of clues: “I am spirit and you are spirit. I have a body and so do you. Mine is slightly altered by the altering of my consciousness.” “It is not such a big step between your reality and mine. There is a belief that you who are in physical form are the only solid existence in the universe. This is clearly not true. We all have our physical reality. Mine may not be as photogenic as yours, but it certainly exists.” “You are where I am. I am where you are. And the physical dimensions of height, and depth and width have no reality at all. If you were to remove the spectacles of human limitation, you and I would face each other in perfect equality.” “You and I are walking the same path. We are seeking truth and our souls are yearning back towards the One God. All of us are growing within our own realm. There it is.” He notes at one point, “I am no longer subject to the tyranny of the calendar and the clock.” And in speaking of death, he says, “I, myself, am a product of the afterdeath experience.” Regarding his function, he says, “Those of us who no longer need to be human exist in a realm of consciousness in which we are available to guide and to teach.” Ramakrishna, the great Indian Saint said of spiritual transmission, “When the flower blooms the bees come uninvited.” Certainly with Emmanuel this seemed to be the case. Over the past few years the number of people seeking workshops and interviews with Emmanuel has increased dramatically. Pat and Judith, who was transcribing many of the interviews, noted how often the same questions were repeated and how Emmanuel had to repeat the same material again and again. So an effort was made to collate the answers to the most oft asked questions and photocopy them. This was the way in which this book was born. Subsequently we saw the desirability of broadening the scope of material covered beyond that which emerged in individual interviews. So we asked Emmanuel if he would be willing to entertain sets of prepared questions for a book. He was delighted to participate, pointing out that that was, after all, what he was there for.Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Arjuna 5.0 out of 5 stars It helped me enormously. I have read every major philosopher from Plato to the present. I have read the teachings of the Buddha, the teachings of various gurus, and Mahatma Gandhi. I have read the teachings in the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna spoke with Arjuna on the battlefield. I read the Seth books and have studied the teachings of Abraham-Hicks, Dr.Wayne Dyer, and other spiritual teachers. All of those taught me things, but none of those gave me the most important tool of my life. That tool came from Emmanuel's Book.That has been extremely important to me for the last 24 years, since first reading it, and I highly recommend this book. I feel that the people who are giving this book bad reviews, did not put that tool into practice. I have.But to those who are open to the idea, I would say that this is the most wonderful book ever written. And believe me, I've read many. It synthesizes all the concepts I have come to believe as truthful in a very extensive spiritual search throughout my life. I am planning to buy a printed copy and give it to my young son so he can have as a companion throughout his life. I realize that many of the things Emmanuel says might only be truly assimilated after a lifetime of learning, but I think it can be a great guide for anybody with questions about life and its meaning. What strikes me most about Emmanuel is his deep understanding of the human soul and his endless compassion.Someone recommended this book to me when I myself was learning to channel. It was very beautiful to read, and has a great energy behind the words. It's been a couple years since I read it so I don't remember a lot of details, but I remember that I was very impressed and inspired. I remember reading through it slowly, needing to absorb each passage in full before moving on. I need to read it again soon.When I read Emmanuel's words they just felt true on a soul level. Some of the questions that plague me the most are in here and the answers are definitely from a place of love consciousness and not the typical responses we think of as humans living in a place of constant change and chaos. When I get feeling anxious about the condition of the world today and all the crazy things that go on I can read something out of here and get a sense of peace back because it quickly and simply brings things into perspective. I have shared this book with many people who are on a journey in search of truth as well. This book doesn't align with one specific religion but it supports many different views and didn't offend me at all. This book helped me work on a goal that I have for myself to stay in love consciousness much more of the time. This book is a resource I will always keep around.He is a delightful Spirit who answers questions with compassion and humor. I read his books over and over and I'm sure you will too.For me, every word rings true and makes perfect sense. Like a signpost reminding me of the purpose of it all, that we go on, and that even the most meager life or small act holds transformative power. These books are a part of a handful that never leave my nightstand.Due to the pleasantly unorthodox nature of the book, I would highly recommend reading Ram Daas' introduction prior to chapter 1. This book came to me while I was going through an extremely painful divorce (hardest time of my life), and was very timely indeed. It was markedly different from the countless other books I had been reading about relationships, emotional growth, spirituality, and dealing with those many things I couldn't change at the time. Among those 20 to 30 books I'd read, this one helped me in a way that was beautifully tangible, and in a manner that was a step above the others.I’ve just purchased it again for myself; I keep it in my arsenal of books for those inevitable difficult times.These messages and insights are however much more succint, sharing learning points and memory aids that are easily applicable on a daily basis, by contrast with Seth's much more in depth yet still very illuminating philosophic expositions.It was the first time I had read a book written by 'spirit', and whereas the concept seemed far-fetched, the message rang true with my soul and heart. Thank you Emmanel and Pat. Pat has now left her body, but her glorious work stays on the earth plane through this beautiful little book. There are also some lovely doodles in it to accompany each question. Such a beautiful book. Thank you.It truly is a manual for life. Everyone should have a copy.

And while this book will undoubtedly appeal to lovers of the metaphysical with little effort, I dare say it's not without its charms for even the more skeptical among us.

The message of Emmanuel is akin to that of all the popular religious philosophies of the world: Human beings are here to love and anything that we do towards that effort is progress. However, Emmanuel takes it one step further: We're not only here to love. We are love incarnate. Now, how does that fare against the popular concept of the eternal struggle of good vs. The strife, the drama, the fear, the danger that we perceive life to be is all an illusion, Emmanuel says. While immersed in the world of Emmanuel, it is very easy to think, just for a moment, that even within this world of uncertainty, sickness and cruelty, that perhaps things are not as dismal as they seem. We might possibly imagine that, after all is said and done, we will emerge from this 'experience' completely intact. But, close the book and the demands of life pull us right back in. Our annoyances and fears become real once more. Money becomes tight again. People get sick and die. But, let's face it, whether you subscribe to Emmanuel's infinitely optimistic point of view or not, for a moment at least, Emmanuel makes us feel like everything's gonna be alright.

I can only read a few passages before setting the book down and meditating on what was just read. I read A LOT of books too. This rarely happens.

Reminds us to The format feels as if you are reading poetry. Reminds us to take a fresh perspective and to remember who we are. It allows us to see clearly among the forest. We get so lost in the world and the abundance of information. We forget how deep the deception is. This book is nourishment for the soul. I'm buying a copy to keep and reference. I rarely do that! What a blessing to receive this book. It seems it has come in just the right time as I've been seeking answers and feeling so confused. The emptiness is connected to forgetting the ancient truth that we are Eternal. That God is in all things. There is no separation, only the illusion of this. It is done so we can learn, grow, and experience. This book will stir you. It reminds us that we have all we need. The task is to remember and make the choice. We are all free to choose. Nothing is forced upon us. This is the magic of life. Everything is connected. Nothing is lost. All has purpose and place. There is a Wisdom that goes far beyond what our minds can comprehend. Only the heart can know this. The mind is the servant of the heart, not the other way. Remember. Emannuel’s revelations are beyond anything that was ever taught to me, but it is in line with a lot of what I often feel is the truth. “For those who have forgotten”, as he says. As for the style of the book, it is poetic and easy to read. In many ways, it reminded me of Gibran’s The Prophet. It was so different yet right. Many years later I still have all the Emmanuel Books, yellowed and torn, underlined. My first adventure into channeling and truth seeking. Bless Pat for bringing me Emmanuel and to Mary for putting the book in my hands. Way differently than the Seth Books, but as I progressed, I found I wanted to keep reading it. No huge new take aways, but confirmation of other things I have read. This book will speak to your very soul. That tiny light in you that knows you ARE perfect. That knows everything will be alright. That knows YOU ARE LOVING AWARENESS. This book will speak to your very soul. That knows YOU ARE LOVING AWARENESS. It is full of wisdom, compassion and gentle humour.
