Review of Original Wisdom
1 posts
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Original Wisdom" by Donna Bond.]
Donna worked hard for over 28 years climbing the corporate ladder in the hospitality industry, even winning the Western Regional Market Achievement Award for three consecutive years, only to realize this was not what she wanted. She had been working 12-hour shifts and was being pushed to be perfect. In this book, she writes about her journey of transformation to embracing Spirit Girl. (This is how she refers to her spiritual self.) She obtained an M.A. in spiritual psychology from the University of Santa Monica. This is where she bases most of the teachings.
Original Wisdom: Harness the Power of the Authentic You is about discovering the authentic you by using your original wisdom. It is like when we think something has been destroyed, but it is deep within, waiting for us to nurture and pay attention to it. She talks about different aspects, like learning where to shift your energy and thoughts. She elaborates on how the choices we make impact our lives and what ego has to do with trust and decision-making. Although it may be uneasy, she focuses on connecting with your higher self by listening to your intuition. She also mentions that one has to realize what one wants in life and not conform to societal beliefs or limit oneself to formed beliefs.
Donna Bond offers various life lessons that she has learned. Two main ones had an astounding effect. She explains the power of thoughts and how they influence your life. She carefully explains that sometimes things may not go how you want them to (cosmic redirection), and one should be able to get and interpret messages from the universe. The second favorite topic, The Alchemy of Fear, dives into how to tackle it because it has been encoded in humans' DNA for years.
Original Wisdom: Harness the Power of the Authentic You by Donna Bond is not a fast read, but it is engaging. There are activities the reader can engage in, including Opportunity for Transformation (OFT) and sacred affirmations at the end of each chapter. These sacred affirmations help the reader internalize the learned content in each chapter. Most of the lessons are backed up by her real-life stories, and she also gives examples of people who have benefited from these teachings.
I rate Original Wisdom: Harness the Power of the Authentic You by Donna Bond, M.A., 5 out of 5 stars. The book is professionally edited, as I came across only a single error. Donna gives credit for each work cited and acknowledges the teachings of Dr. Ron and Dr. Mary Hulnick. She compared her exceptional transformation to that of a butterfly, shifting from a position in hospitality to a spiritual path. There is nothing I disliked about this book.
Donna mentions that everything in our lives is energy. The molecules can align in your favor if you take the chance to use original wisdom and involve your higher self. I recommend this book to all those looking for transformation in their lives. Those on a journey to discover their authentic selves in a world that dictates the beliefs we should stick to will find this book useful. Additionally, this is a book for all those who would love to connect with their higher selves.
