. . . because every time I open it, there is something new. Harold Klemp uses simple and touching stories to illustrate deep spiritual points. At the heart of it all is soul's quest to discover ever more divine love in itself and to experience life through the lens of this divine love.Klemp is neither conservative nor liberal; in fact those terms seem not to interest him at all. Nor does he focus on fearing the future. Instead he focuses on living fully in the now. Love supersedes fear is a repeated theme.Klemp isn't telling us what to think or believe. He simply describes the laws of life as he has come to understand them through lifetimes of spiritual discipline. He then invites us to test these laws out for ourselves, just as most of us tested the law of gravity when learning to walk. What fits we can use to help us stay in balance. What doesn't fit, well put it aside for now.Yes, Klemp is unflinching on questions of self-responsibility: each of us must assume responsibility for every thought, word and deed that we generate. Hence his respect for some of Mayberry's work.But equally this sense of self-responsibiilty leads us to to recognize the sacredness of all life and all life forms, and to walk in humility upon the earth. It leads us to look for the connections between our attitudes, diets, lifestyles, etc. and our health.Most important, when a challenge comes at us, instead of complaining we may ask what have I done to create this situation, how can I end the pattern if I wish to and meantime what can it teach me?Klemp shares many stories of people who live life from this perspective and the insights and blessings that they have received.
