Reality Is Negotiable - by Justin Yarnell (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A glorious breath of fresh air packed with permission to follow our inner spiritual calling, even if it diverges from everything we thought we knew.

What if the Bible is not a book of rules to avoid judgment and condemnation but a book of revelation meant to empower us to do what we came here to do--to thrive, heal, and create?

What if Jesus is trying to tell us that we are miracle workers, just like him? That we have the capacity to heal, transform and manifest anything?

What if the Bible, although written 2000 years ago, is as relevant right now--for us--in modern times?

These are the questions Justin Yarnell, a minister at one of America's biggest megachurches, asked himself when he had a personal awakening to the true messages in the Bible.

He discovered that the Bible is not meant to be dogma or doctrine but rather a mystical code for developing our innate human power. Its messages are designed to actualize the higher consciousness within all of us, to show us how to create our own reality with our imagination and the noble desires of our hearts.

After he had this revelation, Justin left 20 years of mainstream Christian faith behind and found his niche, helping people transition from Church life to authentic spiritual freedom.

He has never looked back.

In Reality Is Negotiable, Justin provides an approachable, condensed overview of the tools necessary to make this journey back to Self. His lessons tie the principles of reality creation to the words of the Bible, shedding light on our misinterpretations while simultaneously casting a fresh perspective that reshapes our understanding of existence.

Refreshing and accessible, Reality Is Negotiable is a book for anyone interested in manifesting their own reality, and especially for those who want to free themselves from the chains of organized religion without abandoning their love for God.

Reality Is Negotiable will provide some food for thought, some condensed milk, if you will, for life and for the soul.

Review Quotes

The product of a "strict Christian household" gone rogue interprets the Bible through a decidedly Eastern lens.

You might not know this, or even care to know this--but you are God. You might not feel that way sitting in your soul-sucking cubicle or digging that ditch, but you are divine, according to Yarnell's take on the Bible. That idea is central to the author's thesis as he endeavors to uplift the uninitiated with esoteric knowledge for the betterment of everyday life. "We are not 'separate' from anything--not from each other, not from nature, not from the world, not from distant stars with their own galaxies rotating around them," he writes. Yarnell caps off each highly accessible chapter with an exercise or mediation that readers can put into practice right away. The good news, according the author, is that Christ is imagination, and we can use our imaginations to create our reality--hence the book's provocative title. "Everything changes when you start creating reality with intent and with the awareness that you are God," he asserts. The text is pretty much all peace and love, except when it comes to established Christian churches; Yarnell jeers what he calls "biblical misinterpretation[s] of the scriptures" and calls certain established church doctrines concerning the nature of Jesus "ludicrous." The author finds the concepts of duality and separation between God and his creations as particularly damaging and detrimental to all of our lives. Those already familiar with some of the core tenets of Eastern religions and thought will find these ideas familiar, but others may see them as challenging. Overall, Yarnell's tome is an upbeat affair that often feels like one-part self-help guide and one-part expedition into enigmatic cosmological truths. The King James Bible is referenced extensively, and many will no doubt find the author's insights to be profound. "It works like this," he states: "Have a clear intention of what you want, see it in your imagination, and try your best to feel the reality of it. Doing this lets you latch onto it in the quantum field with the lasso of faith." - Kirkus Reviews
