From the beginning of time, mankind has always been seeking, has always been involved in some "quest for truth and happiness". This is now becoming a more and more conscious exploration, and many people are asking questions about life, about the deeper meaning of existence. Based on a solid background of psychological and spiritual knowledge but even more so in a thorough observation of how different levels of consciousness are manifested on a daily basis, Free Your True Self - The Power of the Soul presents a clear and profound understanding of the mechanisms of human consciousness and of the inner process of transformation. "Many people are now ready to reach beyond spiritual generalities. The openness is there. What we need to know now is: Why is it so difficult to live according to these principles, even if this corresponds to our most ardent aspirations? Why is it so difficult to hang onto our creativity and energy, when this is what we really want? Why is it so difficult to stop being afraid, even when we know how good it would be to live this way? Why is it so difficult to love, when this is what we desire most of all? Why is all this so?
In the context of this book, we will go beyond the basic principles of a "good spiritual life". We will look for more specific answers which can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves. This knowledge will allow us to find practical ways to bring the kind of transformation we would like to experience naturally in our day to day existence. We will therefore explore the inner workings of consciousness which underscore human behaviour, in order to gain mastery over them. We will then be better equipped to live by those beautiful teachings, in a natural and spontaneous manner, without having to force or repress anything. It will be an inner spontaneous experience." With this book, Annie Marquier offers a unique integration of spiritual and psychological approaches which, on the one hand, allow us to ground the process of inner work in concrete terms, and on the other hand, make it possible to expand the psychological aspect so that it becomes a far more meaningful window on life.
Annie Marquier, founder of the "Institut du Developement de la Personne" in Quebec, Canada, looks back on over thirty years of experience in teaching and guiding people in the course of their inner work. Combining a thorough knowledge of contemporary psychology with the Ageless Wisdom, Annie's international workshops and lectures have transformed many people's lives. Her writings go beyond philosophy and are eminently practical, combining concrete observations of daily human behaviour and her knowledge of the underlying structure of the human being in light of the evolutionary process.
