What if the soul has never been incomplete?For generations, many spiritual traditions have taught that the soul gradually evolves toward wholeness through countless lessons, lifetimes, or stages of spiritual development. But what if this widely accepted assumption is itself the greatest obstacle to genuine spiritual awakening?
In
The Complete Soul, J Douglas Bottorff offers a fresh perspective that challenges one of modern spirituality's most enduring beliefs. Rather than viewing the soul as something that slowly progresses toward perfection, he presents the soul as already complete-an individualized expression of the Creative Life Force whose true nature has never been diminished or separated from its Source.
Drawing upon more than four decades of ministry, New Thought philosophy, the teachings of Jesus, mystical experience, and contemporary near-death research, Bottorff explores the relationship between soul, consciousness, self-image, meditation, and prayer. The result is a practical and thought-provoking framework that invites readers to shift their awareness from the ever-changing self-image to the timeless reality of the soul itself.
Inside you'll discover:
- Why the doctrine of soul evolution deserves fresh examination
- A new understanding of soul, consciousness, and self-image
- The role of Jesus as one who awakened to the complete soul
- How meditation and prayer help reveal your true spiritual identity
- Practical ways to live from the wholeness already present within you
Rather than encouraging another journey of self-improvement,
The Complete Soul points toward a simpler and more liberating realization: the treasure you seek has never been absent. Spiritual awakening is not becoming something greater-it is recognizing what has always been true.
