5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Read made me realise my self as a being worthy of Shining as Passionately as I can

I found this book exceptionally enlightening - it’s content is evocative and incredibly informative about the authors life, experiences and his spiritual expansion on Becoming A Sun. It’s title is challenging - yet makes you realise the importance of radiating all you have come here to be and to be seen doing, ever expanding your rays of light on all you have to share with the world.
David Karchere is a powerful writer bringing the reader right into alignment with his profound insights on spiritual self evolvement.
The poetry allows you to be taken on journeys that colour the heart and mind with descriptive adventures - which lead you into another well of self discovery and places where visionary expansion is a meditation in it self.
Thank You David Karchere for your concept and creativity of Becming A Sun ... I will explode my light, now ablaze and burn with the passionate presence I was born in flesh to be.
Keep writing, your words are a powerhouse of Light the world needs to Read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Manual for True Self-Development

Presented with humility, the author creates a magical scenario that I'm utilising to develop my true self. Karchere used quotes from Roosevelt to Ram Dass but the essence comes across as his own experience. The section about the emotions, grief etc is most enlightening, and the poetry and illustrations allow a seamless reading in sections for me. In my experience it is not a rehash of human nature or an improvement of it, rather an invitation to have an on-going spiritual experience. It is not arrogant or promoting the author. I would have preferred a title such as "Revealing your Sun" as the content leans to the idea that we are Suns already. However a 5 star experience for years of referring to I sense. Thank you.

Reading David’s book gave me an experience of ‘filling my cup to overflowing’! This book will quench your thirst for your own primal knowing and have you dipping back in for deeper meaning. By touching on his personal spiritual journey at times throughout the book, David gives the reader a feeling of spending a series of tea-times with him, in which there are deep meaningful conversations. There are opportunities in each chapter for readers to explore and experience being a sun in their own lives and to feel the value of that in the global and universal sense. David has dappled his book with the sunshine of poetry which is beautiful and soulful.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a guideline for our New Lives

Becoming a Sun is a guideline for how to live our lives to the fullest - from the beginning it becomes clear what is truly important in how we can unfold the rest of our lives on this planet.
"What your world, and the people in it, need most from you is for you to be a sun. They need your warmth. Your ability to offer your care for their well-being. Your ability to offer blessing. Nothing imposed. Nothing affected. Just the abiding spirit of love, constant in your heart of hearts."
Becoming a Sun shows us how to make our changes day by day - moment by moment from the heart. Choosing to read and learn from this book and this process - is a gift to ones own unfolding.
I highly recommend this book to all Searchers - wherever you are in your own life change.

5.0 out of 5 stars powerful emotional and spiritual tool

So often an inspirational book requires you to search for the gold. Not true in Becoming a Sun. I found the personal stories, the poetry and the themes extremely relevant. Even if I was familiar with the idea being presented something deep within me was stirred to greater knowing and I felt intimately connected to the truth of who I am and how I can see that in others.
There is nothing like simple recipes for transformation. I didn't have to read the whole book to get the big idea. It was delivered on every page accessible to my mind and heart.
This book was quite a gift to myself.

What a blessing to learn about this amazing Spirit!!! Thank you for sharing who is was and how we contributed to the world – blessings….
I have not seen the dome look as beautiful as it does in this picture with the radiance of love flowing through Harram & Pulbit together… Thankyou for this blessing of light in remembrance of a wonderful emissary presence.
I had the privilege of getting to know Harram and Pulbit when they lived here at Sunrise. I have a photo on the wall of my office of part of the circle of people that surrounded the final dedication of the stone monument you refer to, David. They wanted to leave their “mark” at Sunrise, but what they primarily left was the beautiful memory of their noble spirits.
Such a beautiful tribute to Haram David. Thank you so much. I met him at Sunrise many years ago and cooked a Korean dinner with him and Pulbit. I remember him just the way you describe him, a very, very beautiful angel amongst us now now serving in his new Place. Love and blessings to all the tender hearts who loved him. ❤️🌷🌷❤️🙏
Yes, Harram was so inspiring in his quiet noble way. I am reminded of Chris Foster’s poem ” A TIME FOR HEROES” in which he says “His arena is the circumstance where he is .. and into that arena he pours himself and his own indomitable spirit…. ” Thank you for this uplifting tribute, David. Love, Tom
