A new teacher shows us the way out of suffering and into an all-embracing way of being.
Full Description

So much of our lives are spent running—from pain, from vulnerability, and from everyday struggle. Jeff Foster understands that sense of pursuit. After years of depression and illness, he came to realize that what he had been seeking had been available to him all along—he needed only to shed his resistance and step into the limitless ocean of the present moment. In Jeff’s words, “The armor we wear to protect ourselves from the full experience of life does not really protect us—it just keeps us comfortably numb.” 

In The Deepest Acceptance, Jeff provides readers with a series of insights intended to help strip away that armor and embrace life now, as it is and as you are. This warm, humorous, and candid offering invites us to stop trying to “do” acceptance and start falling in love with “what has already been allowed.”

About Jeff Foster

Jeff Foster shares from his own awakened experience a way out of seeking fulfillment in the future and into the acceptance of "all this, here and now." He studied astrophysics at Cambridge University. Following a period of depression and physical illness, he embarked on an intensive spiritual search that came to an end with the discovery that life itself was what he had always been seeking.

So refreshing and true

Since my husband died 6 weeks ago, I wake up every morning sad and have to really push myself to get on with the day. Listening to Jeff this morning really helped me to see the bigger picture and I know he is sharing pure truth.

Review for The Deepest Acceptance

The Deepest Acceptance is what I call a “mind stretcher” or better, perhaps—a “soul stretcher.” We all need to read one every now and then. It makes you stretch to understand, to get the meaning, to know what on earth the author is trying to say. And just when you are about to put the book down, it suddenly twists in your mind and you get a series of “ah ha” moments and “Oh, my gosh” insights into a new way of looking at something you’ve struggled with for a period of time.

In Part I of the book, Foster addresses “Awakening to a Deeper Acceptance.” He describes us as a vast ocean and dedicates a chapter to “wave management.” In Part II he discusses “Deep Acceptance in Everyday Life” and covers those things that affect us the most: pain and suffering, relationships, addictions and our search for spiritual enlightenment. His thinking is “way out of the box,” honest, and an amazing amalgam of the simple and complex. You will have to read the book to know what I mean.

This is not your ordinary, garden-variety “who are you?” book and you will come away with a new appreciation and acceptance of who you are. You will realize that Hafiz truly described you in the poem Jeff uses as the introduction:

I wish I could show you

When you are lonely or in darkness

The Astonishing Light

Of your own Being.

Who should read this book? Anyone who ponders the deep questions of “Who am I? How do I awaken? How to I become enlightened? Once I become enlightened, how do I live in an unenlightened…

Review for The Deepest Acceptance

Jeff offers an interesting variation on the perennial theme of Realization, of direct experience of that which cannot be fully put into words. His sharing is a refreshing variation on the Eastern traditions and philosophies, and adds to the mix. I enjoyed and appreciate his offerings.
