So much of our lives are spent running—from pain, from vulnerability, and from everyday struggle. Jeff Foster understands that sense of pursuit. After years of depression and illness, he came to realize that what he had been seeking had been available to him all along—he needed only to shed his resistance and step into the limitless ocean of the present moment. In Jeff’s words, “The armor we wear to protect ourselves from the full experience of life does not really protect us—it just keeps us comfortably numb.” In The Deepest Acceptance, Jeff provides readers with a series of insights intended to help strip away that armor and embrace life now, as it is and as you are. This warm, humorous, and candid offering invites us to stop trying to “do” acceptance and start falling in love with “what has already been allowed.” " Jack Kornfield, author of A Lamp in the Darkness and A Path With Heart "Written with warmth, humility and a gentle but penetrating honesty, Jeff invites the reader to explore those places in themselves that they would most want to avoid and to find there, at their heart, the very thing they were seeking. However, long after the words have faded from memory, the intelligence and love with which they are written remain behind and that is the true gift of this beautiful book. Rupert Spira "Jeff has achieved something wonderful with this honest and insightful book - something that benefits all of us and sheds much-needed light onthe mystery we call life." Stephen Gawtry, Managing Editor, Watkins MindBody Spirit magazine This book is a constant invitation to not leave spiritual awakening where it is often left, as a search for experiences, a way to avoid the messiness of life or some sort of head trip. It invites you into every nook and cranny of life's experience, leaving no stone unturned. Scott Kiloby "Throughout The Deepest Acceptance, Jeff Foster offers sentence after sentence that penetrate the mind and heart in a fresh, thrilling, life-changing way."
