A bit of caution... :-)
The two-part forgiveness exercise described in David's book and discussed on this profile can resolve most traumatic events
but is not a substitute for professional psychiatric or psychological treatment or counseling. Beginning a spiritual path requires a relatively normally functioning person. The conditions described are considered to be within the range of normal behavior and common experiences.
Also,
nothing discussed on this profile takes the place of medical decision making between you and your physician. If you have a particular medical condition, weight problem, or are on medication, please consult your doctor before making any substantial change in your diet.
Free Enlightenment E-Book by David F. Capps
Hello! My name is Kevin Elliott. Thanks for stopping by.
Spiritual teacher David F. Capps wrote a book entitled
The Gospel of Thomas: A Blueprint for Spiritual Growth. He later created a free e-book version to help spread the teachings presented in his paperback edition.
In this book, David gives his spiritual insight into the inner meanings of the 114 sayings of Jesus as written down by Didymos Judas Thomas. The information he presents is remarkably clear and easy to understand. He reveals how Jesus was explaining to his disciples the inner path that leads to full enlightenment. Instead of focusing our efforts on the world or on controlling others in order to gain meaning and satisfaction, Jesus shows us that the road to true happiness comes through the gradual process of self-discovery and eliminating everything that prevents us from experiencing the full presence of God.
The exercises David presents at the end of the book give us a useful path into attaining gnosis - knowledge, wisdom, and insight that comes from the direct experience of God, as well as transforming our emotions from fear- and pride-based to love-based. As David says in his book (the bottom of pg. 56), 'Living in the presence of God is the single most powerful and transforming experience in life. You cannot go through that experience and not become a beautiful person within.'
