ABOUT THE BOOK …

Transcendence of Self Is a Way of Life (Cosmic Consciousness) is used by The Michaels Foundation, Inc. as a secondary textbook. The book is one of the fruits of Jean Barr’s own decades-long search for God, for a way to develop the closest possible relationship with Him. It was born out of the classes she teaches for others seeking self-mastery, balance and transcendence.

As her early students began to achieve these goals, and as more students began attending classes, it soon became apparent that the principles Jean teaches should be collected in one document for easy reference. This was done in response to a request from a mother who wanted to get the information to her grown son, who was having a difficult time. The book began as a 10-page document, which Jean faxed to her.

When Jean’s students saw the document, they urged her to put it into booklet form, and a couple in Illinois undertook the task. Yet this was not enough, because the students also saw the material as something they could give to friends and family who were seeing the immense changes in their lives and wanting to know the "how" and "why" of what they were doing.

So, in 1998, Jean wrote the text for
Transcendence of Self Is a Way of Life. A publisher was located: Minerva Press of London, who brought out the book in August, 1999.

The book was deliberately kept small so that it could fit easily into a purse or briefcase and kept handy, for it is not a book that can be read once and put on the shelf. The only way we can break old habits and create new ones is through repetition. We urge all who obtain the book to read it every week and refer to it as needed. Even its author, who has been living by its principles for many years, still reads the book periodically and finds great comfort in the truths it contains.


ON THE BACK COVER …

During the time the book was being written, one of Jean’s students read a speech given by His Excellency Vaclav Havel, president of the Czech Republic, and requested a copy. The speech revealed Mr. Havel to be a leader of great spiritual insight, who understands transcendence to be the only true solution to the problems of the world. Jean wrote to him, told him of our work and, when the book was halfway completed, asked for and was given permission to put his picture and a quote from his speech on its back cover. We are honored to have received this recognition from a man who has devoted his life to freedom and to finding ways to bring humanity together in peace.
