Path to the Soul provides an important evolutionary leap in the rapidly evolving understanding of our psychological and spiritual essence. Drawing from Hindu and Christian spiritual wisdom, biological medicine, psychiatric technique, and over twenty-five years of clinical experience, Dr. Bedi has created a highly effective and integrated treatment approach to problems associated with both medical and psychiatric illness. He explains the Hindu concepts of maya, karma, and dharma, and builds a bridge between psychological dis-ease and our intrinsic hunger for spiritual union. Each symptom is seen as a crucial whisper from our soul, and if we understand its message, it can lead us to psychological balance. Dr. Bedi guides us through the process of Kundalini diagnosis, showing how the use of life events, medical or psychiatric symptoms, relationship strengths and problems, and life goals and aspirations can help us determine our dominant and auxiliary chakras. Since our chakras are focal points where physical, emotional, developmental, and spiritual forces intersect, they provide a paradigm that usefully links physical, psychological, developmental, and spiritual dimensions. He explains how he has successfully helped many patients correct imbalances by learning to access and strengthen this energy. Throughout this book there are numerous examples of how Dr. Bedi's patients have discovered what each individual eventually has to recognize; that our fulfillment, satisfaction, wholeness, and harmony can be reawakened when we touch the spark of divine light glowing within.

This book serves three purposes:✔ One, it is my personal journey of Soul-Exploration through religion, science & spirituality.✔ Two, it is a resource guide for Your Own Soul-Experiencing.✔ And three, it is a starting tool-belt for healing two of the biggest earth-consciousness creations: Victimhood and Villainhood.This work was intentionally kept to a brief 72 pages (in the print edition). It introduces what I hope are new ideas and possibilities for you and it points to further avenues for exploration.It is the culmination of 60 years of life studies and experience. There is nothing I have found more profound and more comforting than what I share here.◆ We truly believe that if everyone in the world reads this book, understands it and uses it in their own lives, all the suffering and sorrow of this world would vanish. ◆My wife Lynetta and I use these teachings and practices every day. They bring us complete freedom from our challenging family and religious backgrounds, and they empower us to create a life of such delight that sometimes we burst out laughing in our joy.The first half of Three Doors to the Soul details Rabbi Mark's personal journey of discovery to the two books that have become the scientific "Bible" of Soul knowledge. These two books exploded Mark's understanding of the greatness of our Souls and why we have chosen to incarnate here. Read the first half of Three Doors if ANY of the following apply to you:#1 You believe in a soul as taught in Western religions including Judaism, Christianity, Islam or any of their offshoots. #2 You consider yourself 'spiritual' whether involved in religion or not.#3 You are into science and may have steered clear of all 'spiritual' matters as 'not-scientific'. The second half of Three Doors is written to address the suffering of this world in that greatest of human dramas--the Victim and Villain. We have all had things 'happen to us' in life. These may include physical or sexual abuse, health challenges or any life experience where part of us internally screams out that we have been 'victimized' by life. And sometimes, our 'dark' side leads us to actions where others may have been hurt. We become the Villain and may be challenged in finding internal peace because of our past deeds.This second half of Three Doors charts a path to freedom for my fellow Victims and Villains.Rabbi Mark Siedler and his wife Lynetta Avery have used the Soul-View of life on earth every day for the past 4 years of their lives together to find internal peace, love and empowerment despite childhoods filled with physical, emotional, religious and sexual challenges.They now support others through their coaching, speaking and workshops to create new lives filled with joy and empowerment despite similar challenges.Join us on this journey.Blessings,Rabbi Mark Siedler and Lynetta Avery
