The Seven Gateways of Spiritual Experience

The Seven Gateways of Spiritual Experience takes you on a journey through the seven most common and important spiritual experiences. This guide helps you discover how to recognize experiences of the Sacred and integrate them into daily life for spiritual growth, healing, wholeness, inspiration, resilience, and connection.

Through intimate, firsthand examples, Jonathan Ellerby, PhD, shares insights into spiritual experiences, exploring how they happen, what they are like, what they mean, and how they can help us. The book presents simple exercises and common practices to enter the states of super-consciousness that lead to spiritual experiences and connection with the Sacred.

We all encounter unexpected moments that transport us from our everyday realities into the extraordinary. These experiences reveal our connection to the Sacred, whether through profound love, wisdom, or a radical shift in perception. However, these moments are often overlooked, despite their potential as stepping stones on the path to spiritual growth and personal resilience.

As we acknowledge the expansiveness of the human heart and mind, we gain insights and feelings that help us make peace with challenging and confusing life circumstances. Through dynamic stories and firsthand accounts, Jonathan Ellerby guides us in recognizing and integrating spiritual experiences into our lives.

The book explores non-ordinary modes of perception and the super-states of consciousness that underlie them, helping us understand how spiritual experiences happen, what they mean, and how they can foster creativity, healing, and groundedness.

By engaging in simple exercises and sacred practices designed to expand perception, we delve deeper into non-ordinary states of consciousness. This journey enables us to gain direct awareness of the fullness of life and higher consciousness.

Providing a map for navigating sacred encounters, The Seven Gateways of Spiritual Experience prepares us to face life with passion, purpose, and resilience.
