Excerpt
Quotes From The Key to Eden:
When you are really living, you are dancing. Sometimes the dance is slow, sometimes it is fast, and sometimes it is moderate. Life is full of different types of situations, and our biggest challenge is to learn how to harmonize with them. Sometimes life calls for aggression, sometimes it calls receptivity. Sometimes life will ask you to lead, other times it will ask you to follow. We must learn to hear the rhythm and see the steps so we can walk in joy. When we accomplish this we will step out joyfully to meet life, our beautiful dance partner. ~ The Key to Eden~ Aankh Benu
Understand that every situation in life provides a key for you to unlock the Divine Mysteries hidden within. Also every situation is like a song played in a specific key. Imagine trying to unlock a door with a key that does not fit, or singing off key, or dancing off beat. This is what life is like when we are not able to harmonize joyfully with its rhythm. When we are off beat in life we begin to clash with it, we begin to compete with it; we enter into survivor mode. This automatically locks us out of creative thinking and reason, depletes our vitality, and like a ship going against the flow of the sea, sooner or later we will wreck ~ The Key to Eden~ Aankh Benu
Who made it a law that we need an intermediary to get to the Creator? This is an absolute fallacy. There is no one closer to the Divine than we are right now. In fact, we are so close that we are almost inseparable from God. If we could get any closer we would become totally absorbed in Divinity, and the only thing preventing this from occurring is our own ideas of separateness. ~The Key to Eden~ Aankh Benu
Negative memories are the real ghosts and demons that haunt, and destroy lives. These demons don’t require any super powers or hocus pocus to cause destruction, our attention is enough. ~The Key to Eden~ Aankh Benu

This is definitely one of those reads that you'll revisit time and time again to ensure that you didn't miss anything!
If Joseph Campbell and Iyanla Vanzant produced a literary offspring, it would resemble this work. Its readership is broad for it is palatable enough for the laymen and refreshing for the spiritual aspirant. The author's scriptural discernment is laser-sharp. You would be hard-pressed to find many metaphysicians with the same depth of compassion, understanding and magnanimity for adherents of the canonical and New Testament gospels.
Page after page, Benu unveils the metaphorical richness of biblical scriptures versus the widespread literal distortions, namely the Saviorhood of Christ Jesus. This work urges the indolent Christian to reclaim the gift of Divinity and embody the fullest expression of The Almighty. The key to Eden is brimming with uplifting comparative scriptures, meditations, dietary instruction, Tree of Life clarity, age-old aphorisms and timely wittiness. Benu’s voice vacillates from conversational and parental to empowering and endearing.
The Key to Eden illumines the forgotten passageway to the ever-present Tree of Life of realization for the Christian, the Muslim, the Jew, the Hindu, the Atheist, the Agnostic and all other relentless seekers.
This book will definitely be going in my collection!
