THE CREATION SPIRIT; Expressing Your Divinity in Everyday Life, is the story of mankind’s divinity as told through the voice of Christo Sahbays, an itinerant metaphysician. Christo is gathering popularity as an advocate for living the Truth of one’s being. As arcane perspectives are healed, peace infills. Christo shakes the foundation upon which many have constructed their personal mythology of religious doctrine. He then leads them to a sense of Oneness that focuses their house of consciousness toward the “inner whispers of Truth,” rather than on the illusions of outward authorities that often lead to a purposeless, unfulfilled life.

This leading entry in the THE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS SERIES features metaphorical translations and use of pertinent stories that enlighten and inspire followers to heal themselves by first healing their adopted perspectives on life. If you are looking for a means of living true to the divinity you already are in a world of uncertainty and lacking purpose, this is a book that can lead you to that newfound reality. This offering stands on it own, while at the same time laying the foundation for the ensuing books in this series…

A LABOR OF LOVE; Weaving Your Own Virgin Birth on the Loom of Life, continues the metaphysical mediation of life. Featured once again is Christo Sahbays, the itinerant metaphysician who infills with heart wisdom and ignites inspiration in those who have ears and want now to hear, and who have eyes and want now to see. This second entry in the author’s new THE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS SERIES is a heartfelt extension of its predecessor that takes the reader to his or her divine essence in order to encourage letting go of, or forgiving, those childhood images that are the warp upon which one’s history is woven and rewoven time and again. When the freedom to “just be” what we always have been, are, and always will be, quickens our Spirit, we come at last to embrace our own divinity. Thus we are led to embrace the divinity all of life so beautifully just is. If you are looking for a deeper foundation of that which so effortlessly releases the past in order to fluently express a richly spiritual and fulfilling life, then this is the book for you. It is one that opens wide the door to inner Truth so that one may live from that Truth, instead of being trapped in the veil of illusion that clouds one’s spiritual vision. While A LABOR OF LOVE is comprehensive as a stand-alone work, it is built on the clear perspectives of Book I of this series, while also leading prominently to Book III.

KEYS TO THE DOOR OF TRUTH; Metaphysical Musings of a Born-Yet-Again builds upon the teachings of its two predecessors. While also standing on its own as a deeply penetrating spiritual offering, KEYS TO THE DOOR OF TRUTH is written in the context of yet another weekend seminar with Christo Sahbays, the master metaphysician. In this third entry of the series, the fledgling leadership group takes on the means of metaphorical treatment of holy writ in order to connect with their Oneness with all. Certain phraseology found in the Gospel of John is found to be the key that unlocks the door to Truth about spiritual life as taught by the Master Jesus. In an amazingly powerful approach that cuts beneath the surface knowledge of intellectual literality, the “secret” meanings of spiritual intent are revealed by metaphor with brilliant clarity through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. If you are intrigued by the potential for weaving the Truth of metaphysical meaning through your life, let this book take you there. Although it would be helpful for those with rather limited involvement with metaphysical treatment to gain a clear perspective on metaphorical meaning through Books I and II in this series, more serious metaphysicians will likely engage this provocative presentation with enthusiasm.

ONLY MIND MATTERS; Emerging From the Waters of Symbolic Meaning forms the fourth contribution to Jim Young’s THE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS SERIES. The main character that speaks all through this series, metaphysician Christo Sahbays, collaborates with his sterling colleagues in unveiling those illusions of thought that seemingly choke meaning from Life. Using various stories and Life experiences, they rend the veil that clouds the real meaning found in everyday experience. And their metaphorical translation of personal names brings new meaning to the various facets of mind. Through this intriguing metaphysical examination participants are led to new perceptions regarding issues such as war, death, prosperity, prejudice, dreams, Sprititual telepathy, duality, politics and government, the environment and health care, and even homosexuality. If you are looking at ways of getting beyond that which seems to stifle your dreams, then this is the book for you.

Couched in the language of metaphysical fiction, CONSIDER THE SOURCE; Rising Above Illusion Into the Light of Truth is a story that forms the fifth contribution to Jim Young’s THE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS SERIES. The main characters that speak through most of this series, metaphysician Christo Sahbays and his sidekick Penelope Browning, accept a mysterious invitation to dine and view a dramatic theatrical production: The Invitation. By engaging in spirited conversation with other invited guests, represented by some of the greatest thinkers and poets of our time, they come to grips with the purpose and way of life, thus releasing them to individuate as only they can. An intriguing tale of spiritual power, it lead readers to find the truth of their own being and to express it faithfully in a world of chaos. If you are looking for ways of being what you really are and thus living your purpose, this is the book for you.

Dedicated to the Indigo and Crystal children, REAL LIFE LEADERSHIP IN A NEWFANGLED WORLD, The Essential Remedy for a Symptomatic Society, is the ninth book in The Spiritual Awareness Series. Written in the style of C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters, this volume speaks powerfully to the ways of spiritual life that take us beyond mere belief in, and expression of, ego and the collective consciousness—the newfangled world. Posed in a series of letters written as the year 2012 approaches, the impending end of the Mayan calendar prompts a concerned father to write to his adult sons and daughters, describing how he has come to see a very different way of exercising life, not only for individual fulfillment but also for the greater good. For him, leadership for this new era takes on a very different perspective, moving from “getting out ahead of one’s followers,” to listening within for Truth and then leading life from that single inalienable premise. In this are all graced with the utmost dignity, fulfilled through the integrity of living true to one’s calling, moment by each loving moment. This penetrating exchange will empower readers to become increasingly aware of the Truth that speaks within them, leading to a grace-filled celebration of what they truly are.

If you want inner peace in a time of outer turmoil, then this is a must-read series of books. The THE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS SERIES leads the reader in a direction of one’s own Inner Authority, instead of relying on the myths and illusions found in a guilt-ridden society. Future writings will deal with such topics as the metaphorical meaning of Jesus and his disciples, the Sermon on the Mount, and those portions of the remaining three Gospels that do not replicate the content of the Gospel of John.

From several reviewers:

“A much-needed and insightful exploration of finding our inner strength and contributing it to the world.” Author Annie Woods, Journeys to Places Out of Bounds.

“Dr. Young’s texts both illuminate and problemitize. These insightful spiritual journeys will inspire the reader to continue pursuing the contemplative life.” Dr. Pamela Finnegan, author of children’s books.

“Young’s writings have inspired my own sense of Spirituality, which in turn has inspired my art.” Stephen Sumner, artist and art educator.

“When Christo teaches us to let go of the ego-intellect so that our Spirit is manifested we live as the “masters” we were created to be. Dr. Charles and Ramona McNeal, facilitators, A Course in Miracles.

“Jim Young’s writing has helped me know that the Divine Within is where It’s at! God is. There is no more.” Marsha Havens, Co-founder of the Arkansas Metaphysics Society and President of the Christian Science Society of Eureka Springs, AR.
“These books fill a much needed void because there are rumblings against established religions. That doesn’t mean that people aren’t interested in a spiritual life. They are seeking answers. These perceptions give a creative approach for them to consider. This morning I decided to use Christo’s suggestion and addressed myself in the mirror with a ‘Namaste’ to celebrate my newfound divinity. I smiled.” Author Janice M. Kirk, (with Richard J. Kirk), Love Anew and Coming Home to Kendal.
