Remembering Who You Really Are – a saucy, tender, and intimate travelogue right straight into the unfolding of soul and a life of fullness.
Many books are coming out these days about spiritual awakening and living in creative wholeness. Good books too, like: The Power of Now, Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Conversations With God, Loving What Is, The Artist’s Way, have become bestseller light posts for those of us seeking purpose beyond the hustle and bustle of everyday living that so often leaves us filled with an endless list of responsibilities and tasks, and empty of the heart’s deepest yearning for meaning and peace.
So many of us have become so completely taken over by the pragmatics of earning a living, credit and cash flow, success-building, family-raising, home refinancing, bills, baseball games and board meetings, that the idea of finding (much less relaxing into) the NOW is a great and enticing concept, but who can really afford the luxury?
…Yet we sense inside of ourselves something more to life than the bills, the struggles, the “storyline.”
Enter Ronda LaRue’s book: Re-membering Who You Really Are: The Journey Of Awakening To Soul. Says Ms. LaRue, successful business woman, social psychologist, and artist who experienced a profound realization through a strange life crisis and “dialogue with death” that foreshadowed the making of this book: “There’s a secret waiting for you behind life’s questions, struggles, and search…” And she reveals that secret in Remembering Who You Really Are, with clarity and insight.
What makes Remembering Who You Really Are so unique —and utterly mind-blowing—is that Ms. LaRue actually gives us what no other writers of conscious transformation have managed to do so clearly: She shines a light right straight on the apex of awakening, what it really looks, tastes, and feels like—as it’s happening!
Reading Remembering Who You Really Are, I was carried, with the author, right through the sticky barriers of the ego self-identified mind, into the dessert of self-dissolution (sometimes called the dark night of the soul), and ushered back out to meet and hear alongside Ronda, “the musical language of All” that is our natural inheritance and intended “love affair with Life, in this great and Godly game of hide and seek”.
International author/teacher Richard Moss, MD says of Remembering Who You Really Are, in his foreword: "…A wonderfully honest, lyrically written and profoundly insightful discussion of the most essential of all human endeavors, the journey to know oneself….A welcome draught of intelligence, humility and enthusiasm for life that stands as far as I’m concerned in the timeless lineage of mystical accounts….”
This little book is big on inspiration and insight: Wise, witty, intimate, wonderfully poetic, tender and at times saucy and right “in your face”. I loved the intellectual and emotional depth, the psychological unveiling, the thought-provoking insights and suggestions, and the beautifully crafted irreverent reverence of it; a classic for those undergoing the hero’s journey of emergent wholeness.
