30 Spiritual Principles that Weave the Fabric of Human Life.

The Invisible Garment introduces a metaphor, which flows throughout, just as we weave in & out of each other's lives. We each weave in divine threads, an unseen garment which holds us, shrouds us, veils us, & simultaneously connects us to every other being in the universe.

Through the general knowledge of the tenets of quantum physics, most of us now intellectually know that life is a holistic experience -- that every being, organic & inorganic, is a unique thread in a galactic web.

Intellectually knowing isn't enough, is it? We long to experience connectedness. We all long to belong. Connie Kaplan, along with her “Angels”" & these are no Kewpie-dolls with dear little dimples, these are “real” angels with a mission, show us how we each are simultaneous unique & one with The One.

Part One: begins by Remembering Your Invisible Garment & then we're off to What is the Soul? & Constructing Your Personal Weave.

In The Invisible Garment are expertly laid out 30 spiritual principles that weave the fabric of human life & make up the body of a spiritual wardrobe -— a person's spiritual DNA. We learn how to maintain our spiritual garment for relationships to our self, our spouse, our children, our colleagues, our community, our planet, our life & our God.

Part Two: teaches us Understanding Your Invisible Garment through The Ascending Principles, The Containing Principles, & the Descending Principles, until, finally, Wearing Your Invisible Garment, & Your Spiritual Wardrobe: Wearing it Daily, & The “I Am” Meditation.

The Invisible Garment shows us how to:
 • Look at ‘what's right with you’ rather than ‘what's wrong with you’.
 • Liberate yourself to wear YOUR specific garment rather than trying to meet the expectations of others.
 • Understand how you are always supported by an undergarment of simple underlying spiritual principles.
 • Remind yourself of your divine nature.
 • Avoid falling in love with what you think you SHOULD be doing.
 • Dodge the rut of figuring out what to DO before you know what you came here to BE.
 • Stop over analyzing your “shoulds”.
 • Forget wishing for things to be “tidy” -— randomness & chaos breed possibility!

In a combination of science, scholarship & spiritual reference, The Invisible Garment is both a fascinating introduction to visualizing your soul & "who" it is, in the scheme of things, so to speak. I was intensely relieved & guided by the ideas brought together in this book with the clothesline & clothes pins on the cover.

If you hunger for connection to your soul, to your purpose, to finally ending your spiritual orphanhood, & you have a sense of humor, see if this guide to spiritual principles draws on The Invisible Garment Connie Kaplan has so eloquently revealed.
