About

“Back to Incomplete” started as a blog in early 2010, serving as a space where I could vent my uncertainties about life. I needed to reach my own understandings about spiritual ideas, and the blog offered me a safe space where I could reason through challenging concepts and principles.

I began to notice that working through each concept, while difficult and often draining, seemed to offer me many rewards. I was able to notice the challenges of each concept as they presented in my life, and deal with them in a conscious way. I was able to form connections between all of the spiritual and philosophical crumbs which I had picked up over years of reading and reflection. And I was able to have spiritual dialogue with people in meaningful ways, and share in the journeys of others through mutual exchange of ideas and resources. It occurred to me that “Back to Incomplete” had become a major part of my passion-being and a way for me to evolve, and out of that understanding I decided to write this book.

The ideas I share here are reworkings of many pieces of writing I’ve done over the last few years. Some of them are direct reactions to books which I’ve read or speakers I’ve listened to, where I try to make the philosophies functional in my life if I find them useful: Courage, Happiness, and Service are examples of these. Other pieces are based on ideas which have helped me work through difficult situations and maintain a sense of clarity as I approach them, such as the chapter on When Reality Shatters Ideals and the discussions on Love in Part Two. The chapters range from the intricate and philosophical, the light-hearted and optimistic, to the deeply personal pieces where questions are raised without reaching any final conclusion. This is the nature of spiritual exploration: very often you just don’t know. Sometimes the not-knowing can be frustrating, but I try to maintain a sense of inquisitiveness and exploration in this book which confronts uncertainty with a smile.

Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.

<p style="line-height:150%;margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:150%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;">“The Back to Incomplete should have been named Back to Complete as the author has brilliantly given guideline for the Humans to become complete. It is written in an easy going language. While going through four chapters, I felt union with the author as I had myself been going through the same experiences. I believe that there is always a yearning in every human being to know him/herself. That’s why Socrates said KNOW THYSELF”. – Khalid Gudaro, Tripoli, Libya</span></p><p></p> <p style="line-height:150%;margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:150%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;"></span></p><p> </p> <p style="line-height:150%;margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:150%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;">“Your first 4 chapters have been very intriguing. As I follow my journey to awakening, I understand it but can't get there. I am also developing a list of books for others who have become interested in their own journey. I think you have a great start and your meditations are wonderful. One of my first books I read on my journey was Jed McKenna Spiritual Enlightenment - The Damndest Thing. I see it as a great book but not for those just starting their journey. It really messed me up and I truly know that starting off with basic understanding, like you are teaching is better for us to start our journey”. – Joan Devine, Maryland, USA</span></p><p></p> <p style="line-height:150%;margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:150%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;"></span></p><p> </p> <p style="line-height:150%;margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span class="messagebody2"><span style="line-height:150%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:12pt;">“Let Grant, an acclaimed leading spiritual practitioner help you to discover, harness and unleash the limitless power of greatness within your being, to achieve your highest inherent aspirations.
