Paul F. Gorman's spiritual awakening began at 18, when he bought his first metaphysics book. Although it was not purely spiritual, it was enough to ignite the flame of spiritual awareness within. That was the beginning of what turned out to be a twenty-year awakening, the last seven of which Paul describes as a "living hell." In his early 30s, he was not only struggling with almost perpetual financial lack and limitation, but discovered he had cancer - a cancer deemed fatal by materia medica. It was at this time he decided to turn one hundred percent to spirit rather than accept medical procedure, months of chemo and a journey of hoped for "recovery from cancer." He found himself drawn to a book he had bought years before but, at the time, had not understood - Joel S. Goldsmith's Consciousness Unfolding. Suddenly the book spoke to him. He began to deeply study Goldsmith's Infinite Way, and the spiritual path revealed throughout it. But those seven years were filled with almost constant fear (each morning he awoke shaking in fear), fairly regular pain, sometimes severe, and deepening financial struggles. Then, one day in deep meditation, he heard the words, "Go beyond Joel." He understood this to mean, "hear your own truth rather than attempt to find healing from someone else's truth." Within three weeks the cancer was healed, and the financial burden began to ease, dissolve and turn itself around. In Paul's words, the "tipping point" had been attained in which there is sufficient spiritual awakening to evidence the health, love, harmony, abundance, freedom and purpose of true life. Years later, 2008, he woke up one Sunday morning with a pressing urge to write down what he felt pushing through him. Two hours later, he had a dozen pages of a clear spiritual message, but no idea what it was for. During the next six weeks, every few days, a similar urge pushed through him. He simply wrote what he heard. After the sixth time this happened he realized that the messages he was hearing were to become a book. After twenty-five such sessions the writing felt complete. Those twenty-five "chapters" became the book, The Miracle Self. Today, The Miracle Self is a prolific teaching with over 1000 recorded classes, eleven books, and students in 68 countries. There is spiritual help and many resources on the website www.miracleself.com including free books at Miracle Self Books ONLINE.
