Barbara Brodsky - Cosmic Healing: A Spiritual Journey with Aaron and John of God

Barbara Brodskys Cosmic Healing, better than any book I have read, sets forth the path to enlightenment by means of physical and emotional healing. Brodsky shows how resolutely dealing with illness, whether serious or ordinary, can purify us emotionally and spiritually unto the highest levels of the spiritual life. Cosmic Healing is a great gift of love and offers practical methods to bring us into a life of ever-new love and bliss.

I have found Aaron to be ever kind, compassionate, and wise, his teachings both gentle and profound. Over the years, my conversations with Aaron have been a source of inspiration and illumination, always pointing to unveiling, and trusting, the wisdom within.

Cosmic Healing is a book that opens ones eyes to alternative ways of looking at reality and living from ones own truth. Aaron speaks of his teachings as being similar to a finger pointing to the moon and not the moon itself. However, even his pointing is filled with brilliant illumination.

MATTHEW FLICKSTEIN , author of Swallowing the River Ganges and Journey to the Center

Cosmic Healing is a rich treasure trove for those who want to go deeper into healing and the search for personal truth. Are you seeking for more? This book is for you! I laughed, I cried, and I loved it!

CARLA L. RUECKERT , channel for The Ra Material and other books

The voice of Aaron is a vessel of wisdom, its current direct from the awakened heart-mind. Read this bookit will give you fresh understanding and faith in the essence of dharma, the truth of your own luminous, loving being.

TARA BRACH , author of Radical Acceptance

Clear dharma; living non-duality.

LAMA SURYA DAS , author of Awakening the Buddha Within

Cosmic Healing exemplifies storytelling as a deep form of healing. Each page brought me to a stop, to savor, to ponder, to feel. Barbara unfolds a map of the spiritual journey which transcends any single religion. Words fall short! I will be digesting this book for a long time!

There are three distinct adventures woven together beautifully in this story. The first is the extraordinary courage, transparency, and transformation into wholeness that has come through Barbara Brodskys personal contact with and application of liberating teachings. The second is the in-depth exploration of the process of healing itself. Lastly, this is a seminal work for anyone interested in knowing more about the Casa of Dom Ignacio and the entities associated with John of God. I highly recommend this book.

AJAHN THANASANTI BHIKKHUNI , Theravada Buddhist nun and founder of the nonprofit Awakening Truth

What a wonderful work! If you have been swept away by trauma, medical calamity, or life not being what you expected it would beread this book. Use Barbaras map and you will feel more secure in the steps of your own journey.

EMMA BRAGDON, PhD , Director of the Foundation for Energy Therapies and author of Spiritual Alliances and Kardecs Spiritism

In this book, Barbara has generously shared with her readers her personal journey. It is a journey of fear and courage, learning and teaching, pain and healing, and most of all, a journey of love. May the readers feel their hearts touched, as I have, through Barbaras story and its healing medicine of Love.

Dedicated to:

Aaron and the Entities
of the Casa de Dom Incio
in Abadinia, Brazil,
with gratitude for the guidance, healing, and wisdom that you have brought into my life and into the lives of all who come into contact with these teachings

to:
Joo Teixeira de Faria,
in gratitude for his lifes work as a medium for Love

and to:
Neem Karoli Baba,
who has always walked by my side

N O WORK OF THIS SIZE can come from just one, or even a few, sources. Aaron and I would especially like to thank those whose energy, time, material resources, and love have made this sharing of his work possible.

Forehead to the floor and heart bursting with love, my most heartfelt gratitude and devotion to my guru, Neem Karoli Baba, without whose grace none of this work could have happened.

To Aaron, my soul mate and dearest, forever friend, I offer grateful appreciation for your loving and patient teaching, not just to me; but to all of us. You have taught me the meaning of unconditional love. Whenever I reach out, you are there; but in your wisdom you remind me that you wont do for me what I can do for myself. Your trust of me has taught me to trust myself. You truly lead me beyond a belief in limitations. Thank you, my friend, for your love through so many lifetimes and for being my teacher.

For the book, deep gratitude to Dan Muir and Lalita Doke, who have supported this work from the start and given countless hours to reading and rereading the manuscript. Dans clear vision is very evident throughout the book. Their editing and suggestions have brought the book from a rough stage to what you now hold in your hands. Aaron and I appreciate both of them for their persistent requests for consistency in phrasings and word choices, and for their willingness to challenge us when text felt unclear. Their skill, sensitivity, and personal knowledge of the Casa were also vital to preparing the final book.
