Spiritual Insights By Patricia M Bateman (2020)
‘My message to readers is that Patricia Bateman’s new book will hold much of interest and inspiration to both those who are seeking to learn more about spirituality ….. and to those who have already explored esoterica and mysticism. It will give much to think about.’ – Annie G. Miller, economist and author of ‘Basic Income’.
‘Your book is an amazing gift! This book is a powerful transmission of spiritual wisdom in three parts, the first two of which – A Guide to Eternity and States of Being – are written in a simple lyrical format, while the third part –Knowing is in the form of essays on a series of topics: knowledge, empathy, courage, belief, happiness, understanding, pain and suffering. The divine speaks directly to the intuition of the reader covering the essentials of life in terms of understanding and insight. Keep this book by your bedside and drink from its inspiration on a daily basis! ‘ – David Lorimer, FRSA, Programme Director, Scientific and Medical Network, lecturer and author of several books including ‘The Prince of Wales,The Radical Prince’.
‘Spiritual Insights’ takes you on a journey that will help challenge the personal, societal and world beliefs that you hold. – Fiona C.
‘The first book was so easy to read and really touched my soul…. I have found myself dipping in and out of it and finding new inspiration whenever i re-read it… The second book also resonated with me and at times felt like it ”knew me”… the 3rd book was slightly different from the first two, but very thought provoking…All in all, this is a very interesting read and sheds new light on all spiritual beliefs…I, for sure, will keep going back and reading for weekly inspiration and would certainly recommend this book’ – Evelyn C.
If you want a bland, spiritual book, then this is not the one for you. If you would like an elegant, well-written, insightful book about the human condition which allows you to acknowledge challenging emotions and advise on how to move forward spiritually, I can recommend this book to you. It is not a book to read in one sitting but is best appreciated when savoured over time, to enable its aim of reflection and insight. ‘ – Dr. Su Mason, author and Director of Omnes Healing Organisation
‘Wonderful book. Very thought-provoking. I felt better just reading it. I go to the book daily and always find a passage that brings me happiness and peace. Love it! I ordered two more to give to dear friends. – Caroline P. U.S.A.
‘This book is made up of a number of, stream of subjects, split into three sections, each with a different feel.The first two sections have a ‘poetic’ style of layout and this gives a power to the emotions expressed. These sections are clearly channelled as stated by the author in the introduction
The first section, A Guide to Eternity, is encouragement and support for all who are trying to move forward. The second section, States of Being, is a guide to processing emotions where the strength of feeling obscures the ability to see the best route towards the light.
The last section comprises the thoughts of the author on a number of spiritual subjects. This section is laid out as simple prose and does not exhibit the same emotive quality of the first two sections. The individual subjects are a bit longer but all deserve due attention and need serious consideration.
All in all, I found this book to be very powerful and a great guide to surviving our time in this material world well. This is a book to keep at hand for those days when things are not going as smoothly as we would like.’ – Peter Hockley, Trustee, The Healing Trust, U.K.
‘I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started to read this book thinking it would be about spirits and magic. Wrong. This book is about how we behave, react and live our lives. An inspirational book full of wisdom, advice and explanations. Best read a little at a time to absorb the insight and understand. Recommend for anyone emotionally or mentally troubled.’ ‘Wise Advice’, from an anonymous Amazon reader
