Nine Miles To Freedom: The Paths of the Human Psyche

This book provides a fresh look at a system of personal development first put forth in 1998. Refinements of the system, as well as changes in the human condition, led to the publication of this edition. In Nine Miles to Freedom, a benevolent Oversoul, affectionately known as "Ace," describes the process of spiritual evolution and emphasizes the fact that each of us is part of a larger entity whose development depends on our progressing along the Paths described in the book. Not only are the Paths described in detail, but practical exercises and advice are also given to assist us in our evolution. Ace comments on a number of topics as well, including angels, prayer, the use of color in healing - even television, the current financial crisis, and the 2012 phenomenon. Ultimately, this is a book of hope for our future and a reaffirmation of the importance of each existence. Nine Miles to Freedom is a valuable companion for anyone truly interested in spiritual development.
