In Spilling the Script, Jill Loree has boiled down the essence of the Pathwork teachings into a clear and concise overview that effectively spills the beans on what keeps people from living their best life. She uncovers the way our hidden defenses work, revealing how our strategies for staying safe are now the very thing that blocks us from our true loving nature. "You will find how you cause all your difficulties. You have already stopped regarding these words as mere theory, but the better you progress, the more will you truly understand just how and why you cause your hardships. By so doing, you gain the key to changing your life." - Pathwork(r) Guide, Lecture #78 The Pathwork program for spiritual self-development is based on the wise and practical teachings that were given by a spirit entity known as the Guide, who was channeled through Eva Pierrakos over a period of 22 years. The 250 lectures, available free online at www.pathwork.org, together with thousands of Q&As available at www.theguidespeaks.org, create a vast body of material that is frankly hard to get one's arms around. During her four years of training to become a Pathwork Helper, Jill Loree had the good fortune to be taught by many experienced Pathwork Helpers who had each gone through decades of in-depth explorations with the Guide's teachings. Through their organizing, boiling down and sharing of these concepts, she developed her own deep understanding of this profound material. This book, then, is not an attempt to teach every lecture given by the Guide. Rather, it is Jill Loree's attempt to synthesize and re-tell what she was taught, pulling this together with what she has learned along the way. As such, it is a concentrated - or as the subtitle says, "intense" - guide for following the most direct path to self-knowing. For those familiar with the Pathwork lectures, this book will help you frame the work of healing, providing perspective in understanding of the greater arc of the path and how everything fits together. For people unfamiliar with Pathwork, this book can be a valuable resource for finding a doorway in, or gaining insights that can help deepen one's work on any chosen path of spiritual self-development. Throughout the book, Jill Loree references related Pathwork lectures, and has also woven in many phrases and expressions from a spiritual recovery program and other great thought leaders. In addition, she has worked in many insights from Kabbalah, which Jill Loree also studied for four years as part of her own personal work of self-knowing. May these words open many doors for you on your path to self-knowing. "The truth is that love is the key to all life and the only safety there is. That is the great truth...Before this truth can be discovered, you need to discover where, within the depths and recesses of your being - not at first conscious to you - you violate this law of truth and love. And every single human being does." - Pathwork(r) Guide, Q&A #16
