A journey from illusion into a state of Oneness with God... This book is a powerful yet simple gateway for spiritual light to shine through, which allows the process of remembering who we really are to begin.We are not who we think we are, and we are so much more than we could ever imagine.Depicting an in-depth understanding of a person's spiritual journey from the world of illusion, darkness and false identification, this transmission will guide a soul to the sacred truth that can set them free.PRAISE FOR "AWAKEN TO THAT WHICH WE ARE""As people read the book they will be resurrecting energy that is necessary within themselves to transform."-Cecilia Ampon"Gil offers a way for people to step out of the box of old beliefs, in a gentle and honest way by taking them through his journey. His stories and allegories are painted with the patience of a wise spiritual teacher so a greater picture of understanding can be grasped by the student. And those who are ready, will."-Suzanne Taylor"These amazing revelations make the teachings relatable and possible for everyone."-Helen Delaney"It was like coming home to who I truly am. All the past guilt, sadness, and self-destructive thoughts were freed. Gil's thoughts and words help release the destructive chains of the ego to the beauty of truth."-Polly Campbell"We are living in a time when anyone can write about their spiritual experiences without judgment and persecution. In the past, one could be beheaded for making the claim that we are God. In my past study I've read many accounts of many such claimants who have been persecuted, and I feel what Gil is conveying is very much in alignment with what some of these greatest of Saints have also taught. I appreciate the parables and metaphors he uses and how he leaves the responsibility and choice to the individual as to how and when they pursue their path, while assuring them that if they are ready that every spiritual assistance they could ever need is at their disposal."-Shahiroz"There is no feeling here from Gilbert of pride in his yogic achievements but more the power of sitting quietly before God in a state of surrender and wonder. As a reader, that message is very inspirational and will help [people] to feel that this is a path with an enlightened outcome that is available to them. This is a very strong and impactful message that, put in Gil's simple and accessible wording and brought to life by his stories, makes the spiritual path look accessible and intriguing to potential seekers."-Kathleen McLaughlin

And any combination of these can alter the course of any given single eternity.

But when Jordan arrives, his intentions are derailed as she becomes his sole-and his soul's-pursuit. In the end, will Ari find the light he seeks, or simply the shadows surrounding it?

In Africa, just as the rest of the world, people pray a lot. In fact, they are found retreating for prayers on the mountains, at the prayer camps, at the seashores, in the forests, etc. Sadly, many return home disappointed, because they hardly see results. Yet, the Pastors kept on stressing prayer to the congregation. If people pray faithfully, yet do not receive commensurate response to their prayers, what is wrong? Prayer is perhaps, without a second guess, is the most abused spiritual practice of all time. God granted us prayer as an essential part of our relationship with Him. This privilege is so unique and sacred. When prayer becomes a right before the modern Christian, it is subject to abuses, just as any other right. The misconceptions about prayer being a right resulted in diminishing the proclivity of people to pray. As people's desire to pray wane, shrink, heckled as outdated, and sunk away in the sewage, it creates an enfeeble body of Christ. In this book, Apostle Dr. Nene TT Daniel beautifully retrieved effective ancient prayer codes hidden behind the pages of the Holy Book, and it is now reachable by all people professing the Christian faith. The book, though titled "Before Prayer", it has specifically drawn out what to do "When You Pray" and "After Prayer." Get it now before your next prayer session.

You might believe that in order for your life to get better, your luck has to change or some windfall must land on your lap. What you might not realize is you possess something inside of you that can be engaged and used to transform your life. It is your worthiness and it truly is your superpower because harnessing it, expanding it, learning to live from it is accessible to everyone. Becoming intentional about your worthiness can boost other qualities - like your confidence, your persistence, your belief in yourself. The truth of the matter is this - as a spiritual being having a human experience, struggling is not meant to be a part of the plan. In fact, you are meant to live a life you love and your innate worth is the most powerful tool available to make that happen. Since the life you live is a reflection of your mindset, and you cannot be, do or have more than you feel worthy of being, doing or having, the most effective tool for transforming your life is your worthiness. You were born worthy, you're worthy right now and you will forever be worthy, but not knowing this can allow unworthiness to have the upper hand, keeping you under its control your entire life. Unworthiness is subtle and like carbon monoxide can suck the life out of you without you knowing you're dying. Unworthiness keeps you among the living dead - you're going through the motions but not living a life you love. Unworthiness has you playing small, dimming your light, going to a job you hate, remaining in an unhealthy relationship and living your life as an imposter who has no idea of what you're really capable of manifesting. Learning to use worthiness as your superpower eliminates unworthiness and the restrictive hold it has on you. Learning to use your worthiness empowers you and opens you up to possibilities you did not know existed. Learning to use your worthiness empowers you to be your authentic self, unapologetically. You are meant to live a life you love. Knowing you're worthy of it is key.
