For thousands of years, possibly since the beginning of our species, humans have sought answers to big questions.

Who are we? What are we here to do? Who is really in control of this thing called life?

Spiritual teachers are everywhere. What if your spiritual growth doesn't require a teacher, but a playbook?

S.U.R.E.A.L. Faith offers a system of personal development and spiritual exploration inspired by the author’s personal journey to uncover truth without religious dogma. Based on evidence-based practices, the system detailed in this book fuses modern and ancient techniques in an open-ended framework for spiritual seekers who trust themselves to find their own path. This book is like a soft flame to light the way. Some of the practices herein have been affirmed by major world religions and spiritual traditions, as well as psychologists, neuroscientists, and a range of diverse experts. The ideas you will find in this book are not secrets, and are nothing new. These are skills that everyone needs, observations about our nature as human beings, and keys to unlocking the mystery of who you truly are and why you are here living this life.

S.U.R.E.A.L. Faith is not an attempt to eradicate religions or traditions, nor is it a new religion. This system is meant to help curious seekers cultivate a practice that is meaningful to them, that works for them, and that can withstand their own healing and growth. S.U.R.E.A.L. encourages you to shed any beliefs or behaviors that are causing more harm than good and renew the true essence of your personal spiritual practice. This book contains a set of tools for anyone who doesn’t have an existing religion to cultivate an authentic spiritual practice from scratch. Get to know the most natural part of yourself, the part that is connected to the Spirit of Truth, the Creator, God, (insert preferred title here). You are your own portal to Divinity, and any meaningful spiritual practice begins with you.
