Editing these 24 talks has been a great privilege. I wasn't much of an Herb Fitch fan before I started editing these talks. I didn't particularly like the sound of his voice or manner of speaking in the audios and didn't absorb much from a prior series of Herb's talks. After spending hours a day for months editing these talks I now deeply appreciate him as a spiritual teacher.

Herb's brilliant wit in these talks made me laugh out loud at times. He gives fascinating spiritual insight into Bible passages that were utterly meaningless and so obscure before. There were many times during the talks when I would have a light-bulb moment of a deeper insight or realization. And there were times when I wanted to yell at Herb in frustration, feeling like a failure as a student because I knew I wasn't at the level of growth he was so eloquently and passionately teaching about. But I would plod on, page after glorious page.

In these talks Herb holds us by the hand to lovingly and firmly guide us deeper into this mystical way of life; learning to let go of a personal sense of self as identity that we might live as Self, our true Identity. Herb is a brilliant, eloquent, passionate, and effective spiritual teacher. That has been my experience with these talks. As you start chapter 1, put your trust in Herb and let him guide you through the growth process. There's lots of how-to in this book. By the end of the book you won't be disappointed that you took this 24-chapter journey.
