MAGNIFICENT MIND by Jan Christenson is, as the title suggests, a paean to the wonderfulness of each human being’s inherent ability to have access to their own source of Divine Wisdom. Laser-focused towards guiding readers in the direction of infallible inner peace, the inspiration provided in this succinct volume is nothing short of miraculous. It stresses a form of ‘inside-out’ thinking using the energy of play towards becoming accustomed to understanding that all of Reality, including the self, is made up of nothing more than universal form and formlessness.
For those who have been yearning for a comprehensible spiritual practice which doesn’t take years to master, MAGNIFICENT MIND is a game-changer. It explores the author’s discovery of tapping into one’s own inner Divine Energy, making life inexplicably rich–and a life plentiful in this way also becomes more content, loving, and fright-free. Christenson came upon the underlying principles basic to creating such a life when confronted with a near death experience, after which she chose to return to her body in order to help others learn to be as personally free as she realized she was. No longer a shy introvert, for example, these days the author happily lives outside the confines of her own ‘box,’ as well as any ‘boxes’ others might like to place her in. Of course, being human, it is easy to slip back into old, self-limiting beliefs such as insecurity, but it is also just as simple to recall exactly what all experience and thoughts are made of (form and formlessness), thereby returning to the peaceful, uncomplicated feeling of existing in each moment, knowing there is absolutely nothing to fear.
This little book is effortless to read more than once, and readers will likely find it beneficial as well as enjoyable to do so. Assisting people toward embodying the understanding that there is nothing to worry about in this life — not even death — is quite a commendable goal in an era when trepidation about everything from germs to riots abound.
MAGNIFICENT MIND by Jan Christenson is a short and snappy guide with a valuable message: as aspects of creation with the ability to reflect Divine Intelligence, there is no one who knows how to deal with any situation which might arise than each and every single one of us.
