As complex and divided beings burdened by karma, guilt and notions of original sin we often fail to see our own momentous spiritual progress. Frequently the painful struggles of our small selves leave us feeling that we have utterly failed.

We torment ourselves into the mistaken belief that we could and should do more. But the clear message from Ruby P. Tovet’s new book ‘ The Inner Being: Co-operating with Divinity’ is: Stop beating yourself up about who you are. Take a pause on the eternal journey to appreciate how much ground you have actually covered. This fascinating feel-good book provides a sobering description of how our past actions effect our present and how hard it is to live with seven developing parts of being. It also offers an inspiring insight into why we should ease off on the merciless self-criticism as we continue the onward journey in search of the Higher Self.

Perceived as the enemy, our small egos are not the villain of the piece. This new Nosegay Book shows that our apparently helpless and complaining smaller selves are in fact central figures in the Grand Plan and deserve their rightful place.

In exploring the many factors which effect our behaviour, the text intriguingly discusses how sex can be transformed into a celestial act and how the polarity of gender alters the way we behave from minute to minute.

Ms Tovet describes the information given in the following way: "It is designed to let you see how valuable You are in the scheme of things and how, in a central position led by Divinity, your small ego can be the means by which Heaven comes to Earth."

Published in association with Nottingham Theosophical Society, 'The Inner Being' is the Third Volume in the Nosegay Books Seeds of Wisdom series.

Ruby P Tovet, a member of Bradford Theosophical Society has long specialised in blending the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom with modern psycho-therapeutic findings. Ruby has studied the Ageless Wisdom for over 30 years and given lectures all over the UK.

Ms Tovet’s First book 'The Journey Is The Goal: Stories of Human Evolution', published in June 2010 and now in its second edition and her Second book 'Humanity in Bloom: the Unfolding of Our Seven-fold Being', which came out in October 2010 were warmly received in Theosophical circles.
