A Logical Approach to Spirituality, Shattering the Religious Paradigm and Finding Your Inner Truth opens with a quote from Yoda referring to the energy of the Force that surrounds us and binds us. Randy Kleinman carries this theme throughout, touching not only on outer space but also the scientific views of Einstein and Jung, plus religious practices and worldviews. His book couldn't have come at a better time – though he would call it synchronistic. Humanity is at a turning point that requires resolution to the cultural outrage and global problems we face. Do not expect A Logical Approach to Spirituality to offer you a step-by-step guide to changing your life. Instead, you will be left energized and invigorated by Kleinman’s challenge to create your own version of spirituality which, he says, should be as personal to you as your identity. He offers insights from his eighteen-year journey into spirituality and metaphysics, offering readers “spirituality a la carte”. He cites scenes from New York City to emphasize our collective consciousness. There is an encounter at sundown with a Hassidic Jewish man carrying work documents. An unexpected pleasant dinner with a visitor to the Big Apple. And my favorite, Moses as the US president: “My fellow Americans. I have spoken directly to God and he has provided me with a list of commandments that each of you must follow.”

In A Logical Approach to Spirituality, Randy Kleinman provides a comprehensive and unique perspective on spirituality. He becomes your tour guide to explore The Law of One where “all things, all of life, all of the creation is part of one original thought.” He shows readers how to recognize our oneness and look within ourselves to better understand intelligent infinity (energy), awareness (consciousness), and love. He asks us to consider how religion personifies the energetic force, labels it God, and gives it human characteristics, beliefs, and rules of right and wrong, that promote division rather than unity among humans. Kleinman does not apologize for taking on these topics and challenging the status quo. He wants society to stop walking on eggshells and engage in open dialogue; to step away from ‘us and them’ thinking, seeing, and being. Be prepared for some mental gymnastics in A Logical Approach to Spirituality, as Kleinman explores science, religion, and spirituality with the need for freedom of thought, empathy toward other humans, and serving the greater good. This is a powerful and thought-provoking read that will help you find your inner truth. May the force be with you.
