Reveal: A Sacred Manual for Getting Spiritually Naked

I loved this book so much I felt bereft when it ended. I wanted 200 more pages. I contemplated putting the book under my pillow while I slept last night, just so it would remain close to my mind and my body.Meggan’s voice is powerful, intense and intent. The power of her voice, her intensity of the message never relented. She never once yelled at the reader, condescended, moralized or judged anyone or anything else. She dished her highly personal story- her emotionally racking search for why she’s on the earth to begin with, and what she has to offer her fellow earthlings.Reveal is not a commentary on society, or a critique of organized religion. Its a truly searching and fearless spiritual inventory of herself, and its intensity made me not just want to re-live her pilgrimages, but it made me want to be in her very body, crawl inside her mind, and lay down inside her spirit. When I came to my senses enough to realize that could never happen, I just wanted to keep reading, basking in her aura of fearlessness.Her message to me was loud and clear; the opposite of fear isn't courage, or even faith. Its love. If I don’t want to move beyond the fears that diminish me, I have to exhibit love. Its not a touchy-feely kind of love, and its not a neurotic kind of fear. Its simpler, clearer- a genuine recognition that everyone I come in contact with has their own spirit, their own journey, and its my duty to honor that in them. And, in so doing, I honor that in me. All of me: every morsel of flesh, every glimmer of spirit that ever flickers somewhere within me.You've done it Meggan Watterson; you have provided THE manual for authentic searchers of greater spirit. All without even telling me what to do. No 30 day plan with action steps, and menus, no quick chapter synopses in case I was skimming or speed reading.Thank you Ms. Watterson, for bringing your distinct, divine message to me through this book. Thank you for revealing your truly magnificent, imperfect self. I’ll get spiritually naked with you, or any of your REDLADIES any day. And while I wait for that opportunity, (which will come in May, in NYC) I will have the confidence to dance spiritually naked in front of anyone who dares to watch me in all of my flawed glory.for more reviews by this empassioned reader, check out bibliophili.blogspot.com

This book is a raw testament to the work and reward of getting spiritually naked. It confirmed, stretched, pulled me deeper into my own process of Owning All of Me.

Very well written!! Beautiful recount. Made me want to go on my own pilgrimage.

This Lent and Holy Week I followed the women of Jesus life, particularly Mary Magdalene. I reread both of the authors books and find them enlightening. I live alone and practice a contemplative, meditative, free write journaling lifestyle. My wife died 18 years ago. I fail miserably at orthodox creed and belief. I have come to experience Holy Sophia as my inner Self, my awareness, wakefulness, Consciousness. She is my guide, strength and center. I experience "fully human, divine " when feminine / complete one another. This for me is the paradoxical shift from orthodox paradigm shift of either / or into both and more. Union of opposites, non dual, full equality and Third Way, Sophia-Christos. I spoke last night at our Centering prayer group for a few minutes about our spiritual mutuality and infusion of our blessed, gifted, graced feminine/ masculine souls, spirits, bodies and union of both spiritual and sexual. Meggans books inspired me greatly. Thank you

OH MY GODDESS!!!This is the book I have been waiting for.This is the book I have been praying for, without really knowing it. I resonated so deeply with every single word Meggan wrote that I basically cried throughout this entire book. Don't be afraid-- this book is not sad. It is just deeply authentic, wholly awakened, and fiercely spiritual. This book called to a place in me that I am achingly aware of, but that often goes unconscious out of frustration from time to time. This place is often overlooked, unaddressed, and there is rarely any place for it in mainstream society. Meggan's book is a battle cry, at once fearless and gentle, calling this part of my soul (and every woman's soul) to come out of hiding once and for all, and to live in the light.Each time I opened "Reveal" to read it, I felt completely alive. Through my tears, I found myself loudly exclaiming "YES!" when I came across something that jostled my soul (this happened often, to the dismay of my husband and children who were often in the room with me), and the exclamation was usually accompanied by pumping my fist in the air. I tweeted beautiful quotes copiously, and believe me, this book is full of them!I could go on forever, but I won't. Because I'd rather you go buy a copy of "Reveal" for yourself and read that instead! I will read this book again and again, and buy copies of it for my girlfriends, and keep it on my bedside... yeah. I love this book, so so much!!!

As none of us can speak for others, only ourselves, but I will go out on a limb and say when a person decides to buy a book on spirituality in some capacity, it is usually because they are hoping to evolve more spiritually, hoping to learn something to further them on their personal journey. I have purchased copious amounts of books on Amazon on the subject, but this one didn't speak to me, again this is all subjective to be fair. In my opinion, it is an autobiography of her journey, her past, present, it doesn't really help the reader identify too much, unless like her, you have been on pilgrimages in far away lands trying to discover yourself. The types of books I appreciate are when the author gives the reader insights, because they themselves are more in-tune metaphysically and/or have been practicing spirituality in some capacity to be more of a teacher, scholar etc. on an individual level, so you the reader can share that collectively. I didn't take away anything awe inspiring at all, just one persons' journey into how things played out for them on an individual level.

I love reading about someone who has put her spiritual faith at the center of her life, time and again, and how it has played out for her. The writing is engaging and her point about how inner love can ultimately mend our broken selves is riveting. It is both personal and academically based.I recommend for people who like If Women Rose Rooted

Amazing, inspirational, blablablah... don't bother read the rest of my comments just get the book and read it.Meggan is one of those women that I want to be around, she is present, she is real, she is not hiding behind any artifice or mask. She comes to the table naked and tells you how beautiful you are.When I was around women, the energy of female competition always made relationships difficult or complicated with other women. After reading Reveal I realised that I have this unconscious belief that there is a limited amount of female beauty (creativity, intelligence, etc.) out there and each time I recognised beauty in another woman then there was less for me. Silly I know, but that was how I functioned unconsciously. I won't get into the fact that European/American societies encourage this unconscious behaviour.The book helped me step out of this programmed behaviour and feel/know that there is unlimited amounts of female beauty and that all women are beautiful and I am more beautiful because they are more beautiful.

Great book, especially for those wanting to first dive into the Mary Magdalene lost Gospel.

somewhat disappointing in that there didn't seem to be anything new presented - perhaps for someone new to the spiritual / transformational journey, it is helpful
