The spirit speaks a universal language, deeper and more powerful
than voice. It communicates accurately and clearly, piercing
through humankind's ignorance or false understandings
and recognizing each person's true desires.

We are responsible for one another. Collectively so. The world is a joint effort. We might say it is like a giant puzzle, and each one of us is a very important and unique part of it. Collectively, we can unite and bring about a powerful change in the world. By working to raise our awareness to the highest possible level of spiritual understanding, we can begin to heal ourselves, then each other and the world. In reviewing my life I saw that I often repeated the same mistakes over and over until finally I learned the lesson. But I also saw that the more I learned, the more doors of opportunity were opened to me. And they were literally opened. Many things I thought I had done by myself were shown to have been extended by divine help.

Because our spirits remember the plan we chose for this life, we are often drawn to people or situations that impact us in important ways. This is often the force behind 'chance' encounters. I was told there are no coincidences. However, making the most of these opportunities is up to us as we exercise our free will. We are all collectively bonded to each other while on Earth, united in this one supreme purpose: to learn to love one another.

Forgiveness of self is where all forgiveness starts. If I am unable to forgive myself, it is impossible for me to truly forgive others. And I must forgive others. What I give out is what I receive. If I want forgiveness, I have to give forgiveness.

When we leave ourselves open to God to learn more about unconditional love, he readily sends us the people we need to learn to love without judgment. Put to the test, our spirits expand with greater love, God's pure love, and it shines brighter within us.

As mortals we are to share light and love with each other—a
spiritual exchange of energy, not the selfish pursuit of physical love.

If each of us shares our light, soon all dark corners will be reached,
and we will begin the healing of the world by chasing out darkness.
We, too, will begin the healing of our own souls.

There is magic in gratitude. It frees us from worry and competition
in life. It opens our hearts and hands to genuine love, ironically
allowing our hearts and hands to be filled again. . . . Gratitude helps
ward off negativity. Being grateful for the good things
in life invites their continued influence.

We are sent here to live life fully, to live it abundantly, to
find joy in our own creations . . . to use our free will
to expand and magnify our lives.

Of Native American and Scots-Irish parents, Betty J. (Stewart) Eadie was born in rural Nebraska and spent her early childhood on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. She was the seventh of ten children. When Betty was four, her parents separated, and Betty was placed in a Catholic boarding school along with six of her siblings.

In November of 1973, at the age of 31, Betty J. Eadie died following routine surgery. After undergoing what has been called the most profound and detailed near-death experience ever recorded, she returned with a life-changing message. Enlightened by her experience, Betty turned to the study of psychology and the human response to death. As part of that study, she volunteered her time with dying patients and their families, learning the various perspectives of others who, like her, had experienced death. She also participated in a near-death study with a local university.

Betty's experience with God gave her great tranquility and peace, and as her profound insights continued to evolve, she felt moved to share them by writing additional books. The Awakening Heart (which also became a national bestseller) answered hundreds of the questions received from the readers of Embraced By The Light. Betty followed The Awakening Heart with her third and most recent title, The Ripple Effect. Her first teaching book, The Ripple Effect is a powerful and moving book that demonstrates how each of our acts is more important than we know because they ripple out to affect countless other people. The Ripple Effect was the first title published by Betty's own company, Onjinjinkta Publishing, which was founded not only to publish Betty’s writing but to produce other books that shared her beliefs.
