{"product_id":"2940014735117","title":"Soul Freedom: The Life of a Spiritual Warrior","description":"Reverend E. Gene Vosseler has been a warrior of the Spirit and a devotee of the Christ and the Buddha for decades. As he has walked this path he has seen his life unfold in three distinct phases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first was his youth and service as a fourth-generation Lutheran minister. In those thirty-eight years he served as a missionary in British Guiana, raised five children, and built a thriving church in Hawaii. It was a life of outer success. But it did not feed his soul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second phase was a time of “divine discontent.” He left the Lutheran church, explored Taoism, became a Unitarian minister for two years, was arrested with Joan Baez in an antiwar protest, studied under a Buddhist master, and built and lost a multi-million dollar corporation—all in a twelve-year search for spiritual truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe third phase began at the age of fifty, when Gene found the ascended masters and his spiritual teacher, Elizabeth Clare Prophet. He also met his twin flame, Wanda. He says this was when his real life began.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mystic in Gene found expression as he travelled all over America and the world with a message of higher consciousness. He became a minister again, taught Buddhism and Taoism at Summit University, took on leadership roles, and went through the inner tests and trials of chelaship and the spiritual path.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe warrior in Gene would take on anyone—from Marxist professors to movie stars—in the defense of the truth as he saw it. He led a grassroots movement against Soviet participation in the 1984 Olympics and two national campaigns for strategic defense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book Gene candidly reveals his inner walk as the mystic and the warrior became one. It is the story of an ordinary man and his extraordinary life—a spiritual warrior and his personal quest for Soul Freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe life lessons he shares can assist each of us in the liberation of our own soul.","brand":"Darjeeling Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070791270640,"sku":"2940014735117","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014735117_p0.jpg?v=1763614486","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014735117","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
