I Come as a Brother: A Remembrance of Illusions

One day, I woke up from a dream only remembering the name "Bartholomew", that didn't mean anything to me. Later I was reading in another book and as I reached a chapter, the author mentioned/referred us to read the book "I come as a brother" by Bartholomew, it is at that moment that the dream and the name I remember made sense to me. This book is so inspirational. Bartholomew, came just when I needed, to talk to me about the things I was passing through, emphasizing the power of unconditional love and the illusion of separation. He goes on explaining what love is not, how we perceive life, how we keep on blocking ourselves either consciously or subconsciously. A chapter was dedicated to the story of St. Francis, to inspire us to look no more outside rather than inside, for the divine has already been expressed by what we call "me" or "myself". I recommend this book to anyone who is looking to enhance the quality of his life, relationships with others, or get in touch with the deep wisdom of Bartholomew.

This book has IT. Bartholomew doesn't want to show you how to rearrange your mental furniture but to show you that you misidentify yourself with that furniture.A couple of quotes:"Every moment of the day, for as much as you can, remember who you are.""You need to quiet your mind. And that is all you need to do! The best way to quiet the mind is to be in the moment. Your mind cannot be agitated if you are present in the moment. If you are alive to this moment, alive to everything going on in it, you can't be ruminating over the past. "This book fits well with the teaching of Maharshi, Nisargadatta, Robert Adams, Advaita Vedanta, etc.

What strikes me about Bartholomew is the simplicity with which he patiently and with great compassion explodes our myths about the nature of reality.If you have read Jane Roberts' Seth books but still need a little help in grasping some of the material - I can recommend Bartholomew in this and any of his other books. However, these books stand in their own right as signposts on the spiritual road each of us has to take, sooner or later.

There is so much excellent information out there for those seeking enlightenment and freedom. This is one of the best I've read... and if you knew how many I've read, you'd be impressed. This book is readily enjoyable by most anyone, but has the depth to appeal to the most advanced reader. I give it my highest recomendation. --FCB

This book is wonderfully insightful for any serious seekers. I had reservations about reading a channeled book, but every reservation I had disappeared immediately. Bartholomew teachs about love & relationships, The Self and the Path of Enlightment. It will wake you up and open your eyes to the awareness of how vast you truly are. Your spirit will soar.
