Customer Reviews

It's all in the transmission

This in not a review of David's book as one might expect rather a true account of what happened as I was reading it. "Beyond the Place of Laughter and Tears in the Land of Devotion" is sublime poetry for those looking for Truth. You can read many reviews as testament to this but when I was reading it during the morning bus commute to work I was inundated with a blissful spiritual current that was so powerful that I felt I was being lit up like a 100,000 watt bulb. My mind stopped in it's tracks, no thought, and stayed like that for many minutes as the bus made it's way down Market St. and finally let me off, drunk on bliss, to go to my day job. How's that for starting one's day!

A tool of self exploration and answers

If you are inwardly drawn to this book, I suggest you get a copy. Read it as an exploration into your Self. While you are reading it, be sensitive to your surroundings. See what happens within yourself as you absorb David's words. It was after I met David, sitting in several of his spiritual gatherings, that I discovered his book. I had experienced his spiritual transmission at several public programs. At that time, I had been searching for Something. I was aware of spiritual organizations and teachers, but I was turned off by their doctrines. "Joining" anything was repugnent to me. To me, restrictions were totally unbearable. As I was reading David's book, I had a very amazing experience. I read what I, in my being, already knew to be True, the Something I had been searching for was awakened. I also read with interest about David's life.The reading opened up issues that I needed to explore in more depth, in the depth of my Being, by meditating alone and being more in David's presence. Sometimes fear would overcome me (as I read), for what David was sharing (in his book) took me to places that were hidden for a long time. As my spiritual awareness has grown (over the years), so has my ability to understand David's words. From sitting in his company and reading his book an incredible spiritual realtiy has dawned. For some, this book will be an account of one man's spiritual journey. For others, it will convey the Truth they've been searching endlesslly for. Either way, everyone who reads it will receive a special Gift, one meant to be enjoyed at the deepest level of Being.

For the true seeker

I'm extremely grateful to have found this book. I've read many excellent books on spirituality and the spirit, but for me, this one is as much a meditation as a read. While sharing his personal journey, David Spero illuminates the reader's path, taking you within yourself to your own divine center. It's really quite an exceptional work. I recommend it most highly and look forward to more.
