The Uncommon Path reveals what is commonly
referred to as conscious
self-development can be nothing more than a
kaleidoscope of metaphysical
distractions, orchestrated by concealed conditioning to
keep us well clear
of the authentic path we so desire.
The Uncommon Path combines core
aspects of Ken Wilber’s Integral
Theory,
the simplicity of Dennis Genpo Merzel’s Big
Mind/Big Heart
Process, the
gentleness of Eckhart Tolle’s wisdom, the
directness of
Andrew Cohen’s
teachings of Evolutionary Enlightenment,
and evolved
exercises based on
the lifework of I.C.F. founder, Thomas J.
Leonard. The goal is to help you
identify and transcend concealed
conditioning
on the path of awakening
authentic joy.
And,
it does this in a conversational format that is
perfectly palatable,
especially if you are not familiar with the works upon which
it draws.
Why is lasting peace so elusive? Convinced that we are making
great
progress on the path of awakening many of us have yet to take our
first step.
We remain lost in the pursuit of freedom, unaware that the ego is
leading
the quest to transcend itself.
To awaken the wisdom within, we must first identify the life we
have
unknowingly constructed through concealed conditioning:
those
conversations, relationships and responses to life that curb the
expression
of our greatest potential.
The Uncommon Path
leads us from the complexity of conditioned idealism
to
the simplicity of authentic joy as we:
- Verify that
our path holds the potential for authentic joy
- Uncover the
extent to which hidden aspects of ego may be directing our
spiritual quest.
- Recognize and
renounce concealed conditioning
- Discover how
to discern, decide and disregard disparaging thoughts
and
feelings.
- Express our
full potential by identifying restrictive conversations
and
relationships.
- Reclaim
consciousness in the future with the power of pure
intentions.
- Align personal
values to impeccably direct our pure intentions with
awakened choices.
- Recall the
power of selective silence in meditation and everyday
life
situations.
- Bridge the gap
between our “spiritual” life and our “real” life.
- Relate to
others beyond limitations in relationships that are free
from personal conflict.
-
Discover how
individual transformation is a meager but majestic
beginning
of the path.

The Uncommon Path helps
you stabilize authentic joy with
refreshingly realistic exercises and assessments to
uncover
and surpass concealed conditioning in everyday life.
The Uncommon Path
is for readers who yearn
for purpose and
freedom, who after years of self-help programs, now
suspect that
the very conditioning they seek to surpass has been
leading their
quests all along. It is also for those who are looking for
wholesome
and lasting changes in the basis, purpose, and expressions
of their
relationships.
The Uncommon Path
will be of great interest to
readers who
wish to identify and transcend the shadow and hidden
conditioning
in their everyday lives. It is ideally suited for those who
are seeking
to be free from all unnecessary stress and suffering, so
they may
come together with others for the sake of humanity. It is
also for readers
who have had spiritual experiences or spontaneous
awakenings who
wish to integrate what they know to be true with how
they live.
"...if you are
not clear about the influence of the unhealthy aspects of
the ego-mind, you can be sure it
is clear about what its goals are for you.
It is only when you begin to recognize its
manifestations that you can
develop the capacity to free yourself from its
authority. But
before that,
it is likely that even your finest spiritual seeking is never
much more
than a narcissistic romp in samsara."
The Uncommon Path
offers a:
–
Four-part
exercise to uncover concealed conditioning related
to
family, relationships, career, money, health, social
status,
spirituality
and beliefs.
–
Ten-part exercise to align your values with both Intentions
for
Being and Intentions of Becoming. This reveals
the power
of
awakened decision-making free from the shadow and
concealed
conditioning.

Author: The Irish-born international author abandoned
the “
American Dream” lifestyle in 2001, following an awakening
to the
true force of conditioning. Prior to this he spent ten years
studying
Buddhism and Christianity, and searching over three
continents for
an answer to a most humble question: How do I discover
and express
my eternal motives? The simplicity of the most universal
answer that
he found is contained within the pages of The Uncommon
Path.
Audience: This book is extremely popular
simply because it offers
practical, easy-to-follow, yet powerful guidance to free
readers from
limiting behaviors, beliefs, and circular decision-making
processes
thus propelling them into the path of power and grace.

by Tolle; The Mind Of The Soul by Zukav; Transcending
the Levels of
Consciousness (et al) by Hawkins; The Power of
Intention by Dyer;
and The Purpose-Driven Life by Warren.
One distinct benefit of The Uncommon Path is that it
guides readers to
clearly identify the obstacles to authentic joy in
the present and to remove
the appearances of all conditioning in the future.
This alone makes
The Uncommon Path stand out among others of its
genre.
The Uncommon Path
also delivers a unique and powerful
perspective on
personal values, allowing readers to consistently recognize awakened
choices to pertinently direct their intentions to create
authentic joy.
This kind of conscious decision-making is not detailed in Everyday
Enlightenment by Millman or the Seven Spiritual Laws
of Success by
Deepak Chopra.
Foreword: The Foreword was written by nationally
syndicated
journalist, Bob Weinstein.
