Product Description

Product Description

"Born to be Free is an invitation to step away from the unconscious captivity of your own thoughts.   Right here, right now, you can settle into your most natural state, that which enjoys uninterrupted peace of mind and liberation in your heart." Jac O' Keeffe

Born to be Free is a must-read for all who search for truth and inner direction. It reveals the true nature of total happiness, freedom and uninterrupted peace. On looking beyond the mind (thoughts, emotions and beliefs), the mystery of who and what you are is unraveled, leading to a state of stillness, harmony and peace. That which is absolute and accessible to all – the truth – is clearly explained. The reader is invited to that which is beyond concepts and can be intuited by each of us to be the truth that underpins all.

Ms. O' Keeffe travels extensively, facilitating satsang (spiritual gatherings), offering clear pointers to that which lies prior and beyond the mind assisting spiritual seekers of truth.

About the Author

Jac O' Keeffe led a busy healing practice in Ireland after her sixth sense awakened. In her work, she found her clients depression and emotional pain were caused by a quest for meaning and value: a spiritual yearning rather than external or physiological causes. Jac continued for seven years as a spiritual facilitator and teacher. Understanding that healing leads only to temporary wholeness, O'Keeffe sought that which was never broken, never hurt or damaged. Her personal quest led to that which is beyond mind - a transcendence of dualistic thought.

 

Jac travels extensively, facilitating satsang. At these spiritual gatherings and in her writings she assists spiritual seekers of Truth by offering clear pointers to that which is prior to and beyond the mind.

 

At satsang, Jac has the ability to show the questioner the subtleties of belief systems that  anchor the idea of a separate individual. She cuts through habitual thought patterns of mind and opens a door internally to enable one to hear her speaking of that which is beyond mind. Thus an inner resonance of what is known to be Truth can take place and who you really are is revealed.

 

Free audio and video satsangs are available online for listening or download at jackieokeeffe.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful! 12 Oct 2009
By S. O'Hara
Format:Hardcover
This is a book written by an Irish woman who has woken up. The book is not an easy read; but it is very useful. It is practical.
One of the problems with the strict 'non-dualist' teaching is that you end up feeling, thinking: 'There's nothing to do because I am nothing,' or something of the sort. And so you end up doing nothing. And then nothing happens.
Jacqui is more down to earth in relation to this.
She was in Dublin in September 2009, in Blackrock; and what I remember her saying at the meeting was: 'Use every ounce of free will you have' to awake from the dream. That was useful to me at the time; and there are things in the book that will help with that. Her website is: http://www.jackieokeeffe.com/
Incidentally, she is a lovely person.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear Pointing 12 Nov 2012
By Mr. Ronald Henshall
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Jac gives very clear pointing in this book.
Still one must do the looking oneself, because the mind can't ever get it.
Jac's words are as if written on the the surface of a lake, as beautiful and clear as they are.

Thank you Jac for your clarity and patience.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Gloves Off" Nonduality 29 Jun 2009
By J. A. Hoye - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
If you have read Adyashanti, Scott Kiloby, Tolle, Byron Katie, Gary Weber, Peter Dziuban, Nisargadatta Maharaj, Ramana Maharshi, L. Jacobsen, and other modern nondualist writers, you are ready for Jac O'Keeffe. If not, get ready for a couple of body blows to the ego. And then, maybe, release and final surrender.

And don't skip around for your first read. I have some fancy degrees, have written plays and poetry and many many technical manuals. I can speed read with the best of them. It took me three weeks to read 119 pages. My body/mind just gasped about every third page.

Jac is the real deal. I understand the New York Times used the word "mumbo-jumbo" in referencing Tolle's "Power of Now." From that mentality, this work would receive an even darker review.

Which is why it is an absolutely "must read" NOW for anyone who has a serious interest in this ancient, brand new topic. It is written for big minds, big crafty successful, advanced, experienced, deep minds. And if read carefully, and the few exercises are practiced earnestly, the final veil could drop...forever.

Plus there are some delightful videos of her on "Never Not Here" with Richard Miller [...])...

Read at your own risk...;-)...

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is the One. 10 July 2009
By R. laird - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having successfully failed over several decades to find a satisfactory
path to end the spiritual search, I stumbled upon Advaita about a year ago.Since then I've read every book I could find on the subject, many wonderful hours of reading, a few duds here and there though mostly I enjoyed the variety of ways the authors describe that which cannot be described.A short while ago while listening to [...], I discovered a wonderful Irish lady, Jac O'Keeffe, the author of "Born to Be Free".I can say without reservation, that if one wants to cut to the chase and get to the real deal, this book is a must read. I could not read more then a few pages a day,every other line stops you dead in your tracks. A truly valuable addition to the hand full of books worth reading on this subject.Beautiful Jac!

5.0 out of 5 stars Realization Pocket Guide 18 July 2009
By Prashant Padhy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Do you know what the pencil sharpener said to the pencil?
Don't go round and round, come straight to the point.

In my humble opinion, this book is a pocket guide, a life saver, a "must-have" for every human being who is looking to be happy, to be fulfilled, to find out who you truly are, to be self-realized, or even to understand human life or fix this world! For everyone who is interested to change the world, needs to first know who "I" really Am, who wishes to change outside of 'me'? Hence, this book is a "must-have". No roundabouts. To the point and direct pointers.

Am I a father/mother or brother/sister or son/daughter, or employee or entreupreuner or whatever? Am I a single individual or many? Do "I" know "myself"? We think we know but as the question gets deeper, we hit the deadend...If you ever wanted to find out "your" true identity, this book is an excellent guide.

This book provides great pointers to understand the human mind and live a peaceful life, ability to understand the mental agonies and sufferings or joys. Every belief gets pulverized, the rug is pulled out gently as the mind grabs onto a concept. Finally, the concept of the "mind" itself is being taken........... And 'you' are left only as a mere concept, which itself is a mirage. All your knowledge and understandings are nullified and pure 'silence' beyond the concept of silence remains.

This book contains lots of sign-posts and hits the nail right on the head with a sledge hammer in a very gentle way. The Truth that you already are is revealed beautifully.

Strongly recommend this book as a "must-have" guide for every human being looking for happiness.

People like Jac are rare. Coming in contact with such people is a blessing by itself. Truly there are no words to express my gratitude for Jac.

This name and form is eternally thankful and grateful. 'I' met Thy Self, in this movie called existence!

All thoughts are equal and powerless. They exist only as imaginings until you choose to give them the weight and power to be true for you. In choosing to believe in your thoughts, you pull them into existence and the drama begins. &quote;
