Testimonies
“What a breath of fresh air you were! Everyone so enjoyed your talk. I thought your approach was funny – and your message was wonderful. I have received nothing but good responses from the congregation. Many have told me they wish they could have come to the talk in the afternoon but just could not fit it in; the group that did attend has had nothing but wonderful things to say about it.”
Dianna Balog, President of the Board, Unity Chapel of Light, Tallmadge, OH
“Through an opportunity to attend a lecture sponsored by the Unitarian Church, I had the good fortune to receive a life changing message provided by author Jim Young. In a thought provoking and entertaining presentation, Young introduced us to the art of viewing life through the continuum of metaphysics. As a result of hearing his insightful journey into holy writ through the use of metaphor, I wanted to hear more. That’s when I purchased my first book from Young’s Spiritual Awareness Series.
“Offering a new paradigm in my journey toward healing, Jim Young’s book On Making Love provided me tools for moment to moment transformative insight into living a healthy, rich life. When applied through the lens of thought, I began “seeing” how lovemaking affects even the most menial tasks of daily life turning them into joyous celebration of being alive. I immediately experienced improvement not only in the physical realm of body but also the spiritual realm of a happy heart. I stand in gratitude for Jim Young’s powerful message”.

Since meeting Jim Young several years ago, I have had the opportunity to see him lead workshops, lecture to large audiences, conduct religious services, and interact with a variety of people in a range of social gatherings. In every setting, the depth of his understanding, insight, intellect, and wit are remarkable. He is funny and wonderfully playful. So if you’re down, around Jim you will soon be up.
As compassionate as he is responsive, Jim connects with others on the deepest level. He is the “perfect” listener. Respectful, considerate and supportive of others’ points of view and personal paths, he is a giver of gifts: the gift of being “heard,” of being made to feel unique, appreciated, understood and loved.
If you’re looking for a way to understand both what is happening within you and in the world, spend whatever time you can with him. He puts it all in the light perspective.

If you have the opportunity to hear Dr. Young in lecture…go! You will be challenged to re-think your thoughts. He is right-on in his non-dualistic approach to the Truth of our Oneness with Divine Consciousness and each Other.

Jim Young’s writing is like having a conversation, a dialog so to speak, with my higher self. “What If…? Changing Your Life to Fit Your Truth” is like a handbook for journaling, filled with inspiration and questions to begin that conversation. I would have to say that Dr. Young’s poetry in “On Making Love” would be my favorite of all his writings. From his poetry I feel a sense of Knowing–the Truth we hear from within. Once again, a conversation of sorts. I have also had the privilege of hearing Dr. Young speak at the Unitarian Universalist Church and facilitate at the Arkansas Metaphysical Society discussion group. Once again, he inspires that same sense of conversation and dialog with my higher self. As Dr. Young tells us, life is not about learning about ourselves; it is about awareness of the self we already are.

Dr. Young.
I know you have heard this from folks many times…but for what its worth here goes. Mother (Donna France) has owned the Golden Leaves Bookstore for over 40 years now, had speakers from all over the world in the store when it was in New Orleans years ago…which by the way at that time was the 2nd largest metaphysical center in the country, 2nd only to the Bodhi Tree. Mother has had authors, doctors, psychic surgeons, clairvoyants (some world renown) television and radio personalities (metaphysical), captains of industry give lectures…the biggest names in the country…but…she told me, in the most sincere voice…that you are one of, if not the “best,” speakers she has “ever” had. I’ve been with mother for 23 years now in the store…and I can tell you “DUDE”…that is a compliment !!!!!!!!!!! YOU DONE GOOD…
Love and Light to you…………………..Byron (Donna’s son)
I adore Jim Young. He is the real deal. I believe him to be a true modern day mystic, connected with the totality of all of life — and able to communicate about that in an authentic, down to earth, and very light hearted yet deep way. I think he is as of yet an undiscovered gem in the world of spiritual seekers and know that with very little help from others his message to the world will be received with joy. I look forward to great things.

Jim Young speaks to your heart. Whether attending one of his talks or reading one of his books, there is one thing I always feel: a shift in perception. Through metaphor, humor, life experience, metaphysical principles, Dr. Young leads us to receive insights into ways to experience life as Life.

What a delight to hear Jim’s clear metaphysical voice! His enlightened energy provides an atmosphere in which one can embrace a deeper metaphysical truth; a knowing that can only bloom from deep within the heart. He has transcended book knowledge and is living his love.
Gloria Ireland, Founder, The Ohio Metaphysical Society
Dr. Young certainly has wonderful listening skills. His muse
has absolutely made use of his talents, willingness, and love of life
during this time / space continuum. His presentations facilitate the understanding that the world
is a relflection of our mind. Very provocative with a generous splash
of meaningful humor. He is a great friend to find on the path.
Ramona McNeal, facilitator, ACIM, and program co-chair, UU of Eureka Springs, AR
Jim is the Johnny Carson of the Metaphysical crowd. His teaching style is “light-hearted, embracing straight talk.”

“Dr. Jim Young engaged our diverse community in considering an essential question: how do we know and express our true Self, the indwelling God? With wisdom and humor he offers practical steps to living a spiritual life and challenges us “to listen while deeper meaning seeks our awareness.” When Jim speaks of his awakening to Divine Presence, we are inspired to listen to the silence of our own hearts.
