Review of The Unbound Soul
"The Unbound Soul" by Richard L. Haight is a challenging read that will surely impact how you think. It might even change how you view and conduct yourself in relation to how you engage with the outside world. The book's primary objective, according to the author, is to clarify the differences between consciousness and mind. The reader will be led toward "unfoldment" when they choose consciousness above cognition and come to know a higher entity, "isness," or oneness that can only be understood through "inspirience," a term Haight coined to describe a deeper form of experience. The author first encountered this Isness inspiration at the age of 22.
I liked how the novel was split up into numerous sections. By doing this, it was feasible to increase understanding of what Haight was trying to say. He provided a thorough explanation of the terminologies and techniques he utilized in the following sections. I frequently had to go back and forth when the topic became quite complex and technical, so it was helpful that he advised readers to read slowly, rest, and then continue. I didn't get the impression that Haight was urging the readers to follow him while I was reading the book. Instead, he just caused me to feel and recognize things that I already knew but had chosen to ignore. To be honest, when I got to the second portion, I started to doubt him, but after a while, I started to think he had good intentions, and many of the things he said made sense. I thought some of it was impractical, and some of it went against what I believe, but it was important to keep an open mind to see where he was coming from. There were times when I could empathize and grinned, or my eyes grew wide. The book was flawlessly edited, and there were no typographical errors.
It's true to say that not everyone will enjoy The Unbound Soul. Some people might disagree with his philosophy, but for those who are open to trying it out, I wholeheartedly suggest it. I listened to the stories of The Unbound Soul and Inspirience as audiobooks, and each time I did, I experienced a wave of serenity. There was nothing I didn't like in this book.
I give this book a maximum rating of 5 out of 5 because Haight took the time to explain new words to readers, in addition to the fact that he is a skilled storyteller and does a fantastic job of sharing his personal lessons. I recommend this book to anyone interested in fiction, meditation, or self-help literature. It has a profound, sincere, and true impact that changes readers for good.
