Creating Authenticity
#1 best seller in multiple spirituality, meditation, self-help categories, this fresh, highly acclaimed spiritual guide tells of one man's struggle to free his soul while guiding the reader to their own inner freedom.
"I can't remember a more transformative book."
The Unbound Soul is a memoir that tells the true story of a young boy, who in the midst of a vision, dedicates his life to spiritual awakening. As he matures, this promise leads him across the globe, gathering ancient knowledge and mastering martial, healing, and meditation arts.
Along the way, subsequent visions reveal the rapidly approaching collapse that will shake our societies, our economic system, and the earth's ecology to the very core. Tormented by visions of coming worldwide calamity, Haight presses ever onward in his search and eventually realizes the elusive truth hinted at in his childhood vision.
But The Unbound Soul is so much more than a memoir. It is a powerful guide that reveals the profoundly simple yet elusive truth that illuminates your life and provides a set of powerful awareness tools to assist you on your personal path. The Unbound Soul is really about you and your path toward practical realization in everyday life.
Through this work, among other things, you will:
- Receive new tools of awakening that blend seamlessly into your daily life. ― "This book is worth getting just for this, but it's a whole lot more."
- Learn how the senses, thought, emotion, and memory have imprisoned you, and discover the key to unlocking that prison. ― "...one of the most profound books I've read in the search for answers to Love, Life, and Living!"
- Discover the nature of the mind, consciousness, the spirit and the soul, and how they interweave to limit or unleash the possibilities of your daily experience. ― "You will look at the world a little bit differently after reading it."
- Turn your daily life into a vibrant journey of awakening. ― "No gimmicks. No special pictures or runes. JUST YOU."
"Any reader who likes to contemplate and seek the ultimate truth will not turn away from this book once he or she picks it up!"
"This book, in my humble opinion, is the best literary tool for all human souls seeking their inner path to 'Spiritual Unfoldment.'"
"If you feel any drawing to read this book, know that it has the potential to transform your life."

Biography
Richard L. Haight is an instructor of meditation, healing, and martial arts, and he is the author of The Unbound Soul: A Spiritual Memoir for Personal Transformation and Enlightenment. He began his path of awakening at age eight when he made a solemn promise in a vision to dedicate his life to enlightenment and to share what he found with the world. He took his first steps towards that promise at age 12 when he began formal martial arts training.
At the age of 24, Richard moved to Japan to advance his training with masters of the sword, staff, and jujutsu. During his 15 years living in Japan, Richard was awarded masters licenses in four samurai arts as well as a traditional healing art called Sotai-ho.
Throughout his life, Richard has had a series of profound visions that have ultimately guided him to the realization of the Oneness that the ancient spiritual teachers often spoke of. This understanding ultimately transformed the arts that he teaches and has resulted in the writing of The Unbound Soul.
Through his new book The Unbound Soul, his meditation and martial arts seminar, Richard Haight is helping to ignite a worldwide spiritual awakening that is free of all constraints and open to anyone of any level. Richard Haight now lives and teaches in southern Oregon, U.S.A.
Richard Haight explains that true spiritual enlightenment embraces all of life with deep aliveness, authenticity, innocence, and authority. It is what you are truly seeking.

5.0 out of 5 starsI can't remember a more transformative bookJune 18, 2017
Format: Paperback|Verified Purchase
Intensely rewarding. I had read the 1st (autobiographical) part of the book - available as a free pdf download and well worth reading in its own right. The remainder of the book looked more philosophical and I wasn't especially interested in someone else's theorising. Nevertheless I decided to buy the book and I'm very grateful that I did. The core of Haight's experience resonates with my own - and I'm sure countless others. But he places it within an over-arching context that effortlessly and with grace draws out the essence of the impulse that has led to the creation of all the world religions and that rests comfortably with the further reaches of modern science.
One of the things that rings deeply true to me is the humility of Haight's vision.
I've been grappling in recent times with how humanity can envision a positive, sustaining and sustainable future, rather than the bleak future we seem to have created for ourselves with our unconscious actions. Unexpectedly, this book brought a compelling and inspiring answer.
The 2nd, 3rd and 4th parts of the book contain many useful exercises and perspectives. It is worth buying for the Observing Meditation alone but there are many other riches, for example Haight's observation that we worship with our attention primarily. How much of our attention is directed to the self, he asks innocently... I haven't yet had an opportunity to explore the Dance of Self to any degree but am hoping I will be able to. Chronic pain has been deterring me and yet I somehow sense that the Dance may help with this..
If you feel any drawing to read this book, know that it has the potential to transform your life.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Unbound Soul a tower of knowledge.September 23, 2016

While reading, unconsciously I began to underline and highlight the spiritual teachings. Upon finishing the book, I leafed through the pages, and discovered. The majority of the book had been underlined, and notes place at the margins. This book truly has a high ranking with my collection of books on spirituality. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 starsFind the Bones of ChristAugust 9, 2016
Format: Paperback
Richard Haight begins his book by saying “spiritual” is a misconstrued word. Two other words associated with spirituality are “realization” and “unfoldment.” Haight says “Unfoldment indicates radical simplification while realization indicates being aware of something that had previously gone noticed. None of these words are associated with becoming, growing, or attaining.” His book is written for those who are ready for new insights into the spiritual world. Haight’s words and actions seem to be governed by Tao, which he calls Isness or Beingness.
He begins his book with life events from early childhood and through many years, much like a memoir. He includes many spiritual experiences in his memoir. This is a most interesting read and can be read at a reasonable speed. On one page, he questions himself by asking, “How is it that I perceive as being imperfect?” He has a new unconditional experience and calls it “inspirience” because the learning is within the soul and/or spirit.
While reading Part One, I thought of my reading of Varieties of Religious Experiences by William James. This is a great honor to Haight to be equated with this other book and author. Haight’s book was written for those who are ready for revelation.
The second part of the book, can be more difficult and needs to be read at a slower pace and perhaps spaced intervals to grasp some of the concepts presented. Haight himself states, “… the reader may experience difficulties when reading this book as the light of consciousness begins to shine through those identifications that do not want to be seen.”
In the second part of the book, Meditation, the Dance of the Self, and more about Unfoldment are shared. The “process of spiritual unfoldment is first and foremost a tuning to Isness … that reveals the very core of Beingness.” Haight uses his experience of martial arts, meditation, therapy, and instructor to put this great piece of literature together for our enjoyment.
Another profound statement in the book is when it comes to placing blame on others, it is wise to remember: “whatever happens is a reflection of the energy that I am projecting.”
Throughout the book, Haight talks about a feeling of being “pulled” physically to something. I have also felt this same spiritual pressure exerted upon myself. I’ve always considered it spiritual, heavenly, Godly, or angelic. Such feelings are hallmark. It coerces us to take a necessary action. Trust these feelings. It may often be the next step in a journey of spiritual learning.
Haight shares about negativity and “belief systems are compensating for traumas and deep-seated insecurities.” He talks about reflecting on our lives and how we only need shelter, food, water, love, and inspired purpose. He talks later about inspired purpose and unconditional love. He went on to say “most of my wants were actually attempts to fill an empty space inside.” The action of “shaming” is explained very well in this book. And a new view of Hell was given to me.
Haight agrees with me that the world is moving faster than ever in the past. There are many people searching for answers, more than ever before. We are hungry and we are thirsting for spirituality. Include the book Unbound Soul in your collection. I’m glad I did.

5.0 out of 5 starsHow wonderful, I found a book that unlocked a small ...September 28, 2017
Format: Paperback|Verified Purchase
I recently found this writer and as soon as I began to read a feeling of weightlessness came over my body and mind. As if a dark covering was lifted and a different me was unveiled.
His style of telling is simple, uncomplicated, without pretence or arrogance. The books that I read are usually full of author's 'I AM, WAS, WILL BE. These books leave a stain of hopelessness and despair in my inside dwelling since I AM not, WAS not, nor WILL BE. And I decided that may be meditation is for someone 'more spiritual' thought I have no idea what that means.
I feel relaxed and content reading his books. The first thought that popped into my mind when I saw his term 'Isness' , was that what I AM means, IAMNESS. The basic of us, the blueprint under the smear of domestication. The real me!
How wonderful , I found a book that unlocked a small door to a huge space inside me.

The Unbound Soul: A Spiritual Memoir for Personal Transformation and Enlightenment
by Richard L Haight
A very well written book that I find is perfect for use when meditating. This book goes beyond what most other books designed to use for meditation in that it is set up so that you can easily go from day to day in your own personal life. Perfect if you are looking for a way to better understand yourself and your feelings.
Well worth the time that you would spend reading this work of art. Perfect for all ages and everyone who enjoys meditating, a guideline of sorts for your meditation.
A must have on your bookshelf for use now as well as later.
