THE STORY OF A WOMAN'S EXISTENTIAL CRISIS,

THE END OF SEEKING,

AND THE WILLINGNESS TO LOSE EVERYTHING 

TO FIND TRUE, LASTING FREEDOM.

A combined off-the-beaten path India travel adventure, bittersweet romance, and deeply personal spiritual memoir, this book shares the profound, inexpressible grace of encountering one's spiritual teacher, or guru, and is an homage to the absolute faith and fearlessness required to be released from the shackles of suffering.

Truth Seeker: A Spiritual Adventure of Love, Loss, and Liberation is the long-awaited follow-up to the spiritual travel memoir, The Adventures of Bindi Girl: Diving Deep Into the Heart of India (2012).

Advance Praise for Erin Reese's new book

TRUTH SEEKER:

A SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE OF

LOVE, LOSS, AND LIBERATION

"If you read a lot of “spiritual” books, as I do, you can be filled to the brim with theory. Truth Seeker is what happens in one woman's life when the theories become fact in the day-to-day. There's romance – human-to-human and human-to-India – and courage and humor and an incredible degree of acceptance of life as it comes and where it is. And that might be the essence of those spiritual books, after all."

—Victoria Moran, author of The Good Karma Diet, cofounder of The Compassion Consortium

 “Erin Reese’s excellent new book is a deep dive into the heart, dedication, and courage required while on the spiritual awakening journey. This book isn’t merely about truth seeking; it’s about truth finding. The book is far more than a journey into the spiritual cornucopia of India; it’s an inspirational nudge into the deepest depths of your own heart. Do you have the courage? The dedication? I highly recommend this book to both glistening spiritual newbies and jaded old-timers. After reading I was left in a beautiful, resonant, heartfelt state. This alone is worth the price of admission.” 

—J. Stewart Dixon, author of Spirituality for Badasses: How to Find Inner Peace and Happiness Without Losing Your Cool

“So often overlooked on today’s spiritual path is the mystical bond with a guru to support the journey to self-realization. Ramesh Balsekar was a laser beam of integrity and a fountain of peace. This book shows the transformative blessing of meeting such a master on one who is passionate and sincere. One that has the power to surrender.” 

— Prajnaparamita, spiritual master, author of Wings of Freedom

Let Freedom Ring: Full Moon in Capricorn

Beloved friends, clients, readers,

Tonight we honor the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Capricorn. This full moon of July is celebrated in India as Guru Purnima, wherein we honor our greatest spiritual teachers. While I can't physically travel to Mumbai this year, I am tuning in virtually with my friends there to give thanks to my advaita (non-duality) Teacher, Ramesh Balsekar, who left the body in 2009.

How are your teachers showing up in your life today? Whether they are with you in body or spirit, their voices and influence are surely reverberating in your steps. When we have a relationship based on raw truth and honest development, sometimes the teachings come in blissful grace, and sometimes they come in hard knocks and rough challenges. But if we look closely, we can feel also the protection of the teacher and the teachings with us, even in the worst situations. We are surrounded with Love and Grace.

Some folks consider Nature to be their greatest teacher. Some, a parent or older friend, a mentor, or relative. Others have more pointed relationships with a person or lineage. Ultimately, the guru-teacher lives within as The Self, and that realization is Liberation. All That Is. Oneness.

It has never been more obvious in these chaotic and confusing unfolding events of 2020. True freedom is only in present time. We must cling to our sword of truth, our sheer clarity of what is Here, in the moment, happening now. A teacher may help you understand that all you need to know, all you need to own, is directly in front of you, and within you. You are not separate from All That Is. A teacher may help redirect you to What Is. A teacher may help you see through the illusions that create unneeded suffering.

And, it is not a path for the meek. It takes courage and a determination to come out of the hiding, to be freed from the excruciating contortion of ego-identification. With grace, we receive the clearest, no-compromising pointers to living in Reality.

Wishing you all a beautiful Independence Day, July 4.
Let freedom ring. May you be free from suffering.
With love,
Erin

Hello friends and readers,

Have you wanted to learn to read Tarot? From an expert?

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce Jill Merzon, Master Teacher of the Tarot!

 

When I myself need a clear, honest, ACCURATE reading, I always contact my soul sister Jill. I refer folks to Jill when I am on retreat. And, since I am a professional reader myself, you know that means she's EXCELLENT!

I'm writing today to personally introduce you to Jill as she is now offering one-on-one, online CLASSES in Tarot! Her classes are affordable, fun, and deep. She will tailor her style to suit your own level of experience and intuition, whether a complete beginner or a pro brushing up on your skills.

I hope you reach out to her if you're feeling called to the Tarot path!

Here is Jill's description of her courses:
Classes in Tarot with Jill Merzon



At the core, we all wish for a feeling of connection to the earth, to each other, to ourselves , and to our highest values.When we stop and listen to the voice of our higher self, it always guides us to a place of peace and true belonging.

We will cover: 
The meanings of The Major Arcana, 22 cards

A Rider (or Universal) Waite deck

A silk or other natural fiber scarf
Notebook and pen

About Me:


I have over 40 years of experience as a reader and teacher of the tarot. I have been on the spiritual path since 1978. I started reading the tarot on the streets of New York City. Literally, I would set up three milk crates, lay out my deck, and read pedestrians walking by. Later on, I read in supper clubs, discos, and restaurants as well as at private parties. My motto was "Have cards will travel." I have taught the tarot in New York, Germany, and The Netherlands.
