Living With Enlightenment | Free Book
We learn who we are through our relationships. Anyone who has had the privilege of being in the presence of an enlightened person or spiritual teacher will appreciate the power of such a learning experience. In Living With Enlightenment, Brad Laughlin recounts the story of his journey of love with Leslie Temple-Thurston, a world-renowned teacher of enlightenment. Brad and Leslie have lived and worked together for the past twenty-five years and share an intimacy and love that is deep, ancient and enduring. Their unconventional love story is at the heart of this book.
Sometimes light and humorous and at other times sad and
touchingly intimate, Living With Enlightenment is always profound.
At this pivotal moment in human evolution, Brad’s message
conceptualizes a necessary shift in consciousness as a move from
separation (or duality) to heart-centered unity. He uses personal
experiences and memories as a very grounded and practical way of
illustrating timeless spiritual truths which are of relevance to us
all. The collection of stories form a map, navigating a conscious
path to realization of the Self.
Although the book is autobiographical in nature, it acknowledges that our memories—whether painful or pleasurable—are merely aspects of the egoic self. Ultimately, our life’s journey is about transcending the personal self and awakening the awareness of the vast, eternal Self.
Most importantly this book is about living in truth and love. As
humanity and our beautiful, fragile blue planet confront
unprecedented challenges, our biggest teaching is to embrace the
courage, insight and wisdom to
choose love.
In The Press
“This is an important, exciting and transformative book by one of our
wisest mystics. It is the unconventional and profoundly moving story
of a unique, soul love relationship. Read it and you will be deeply
inspired, not only by Brad
Laughlin’s exquisite and naked prose
but by the directly initiatory teachings of his great consort and
illumined spiritual teacher, Leslie Temple-Thurston.”
—Andrew Harvey, religious scholar and author of more than 30 books,
including The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism
In Living With Enlightenment, Brad Laughlin nakedly shares his transpersonal autobiography, shaped and illumined by his longtime partnership with Leslie Temple-Thurston. In it, we glimpse not only an extraordinary teacher-student relationship which becomes a romantic partnership, but are magnanimously invited to become spiritual warriors as well as spiritual midwives in the journey from ego-consciousness to embodied love in action. Refreshingly, amid a plethora of teachings on enlightenment as a final end-point, Brad Laughlin clarifies that, in his words, the journey of enlightenment is a never-ending continuum of spiritual evolution. Although there are milestones along the way, there is no fixed goal or endpoint because on this journey we are always learning, growing and becoming.
