Creation Spirit

Books by Jim Young

  • THE CREATION SPIRIT
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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.

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.

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.
