Leonard Orr writes about what no one else writes about.
His books are unique and new contributions to human knowledge. He is a spiritual and intellectual pioneer. His books are revolutionary and are transforming philosophy, psychology, physiology, business, personal success, health, money and economics, religion, personal relationships, and politics. His over 20 books are published in over 10 languages. Leonard Orr is an internationally famous lecturer as well as an author. He has been around the world 10 times. He usually stays in homes when he travels so he experiences a country from the inside out.
Leonard was born and raised in Walton, NY, a small dairy farming town in Upstate Ne York in the Catskill Mountains. He describes it as the perfect small American town, nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains with creeks and the Delaware River running through it. He lived in the same house from birth until he left town for college. Leonard never read a book until after he graduated from high school, and in college he flunked English composition. Now he is often called “one of the geniuses of the 20th century”.
He became a born again Christian and majored in Bible and philosophy. His book Physical Immortality for Christians is about the 5 immortals of the Bible. It is a revolutionary classic. Published in several languages, it has made Leonard an international authority on Biblical literature and religion. It was first published in 1980.
During and after college, Leonard studied with Joel and Champion Teutsch. With Joel’s help, he became spiritually enlightened. Leonard attended Geneva College in Beaver Falls, PA, and graduated from Los Angeles Pacific College.
After college, Leonard Orr struggled to find his place in life. He worked successfully as a salesman, social worker, and other jobs, but eventually found fulfillment as a personal business consultant. He developed a system that enabled him to double the income of self employed people. His Money Seminar is on tape, has been published by over 5 of his students in successful books, and is presented in his books: The Prosperity Consciousness Consultation, The Money Seminar, The Energy of Success, How to be a Successful Professional, and Government Without Taxes. He has trained people to be successfully self-employed in sales, the arts, health professions, and many types of business. He is a self-made millionaire. Leonard says, “The prosperity of a nation is determined on the ratio of self-employed people, because the self-employed employ the rest.”
Also in the 60’s, which was a very creative period for Leonard, he wondered why American Government has ceased to be a paradise for democracy. He figured out why and put the solution in his book called How to Make Democracy Work. At this time he also figured out how to end our abusive tax system and began working on his book Government Without Taxes. It is simple and brilliant!
During his internal search for himself, Leonard studied books about physical immortality and the immortal yogis. In 1967, he unraveled his death urge. His book on Healing the Death Urge wasn’t completed until 1995. It is the only book of its kind in print.
As a result of hundreds of spontaneous rebirthing experiences between 1962 and 1974, Leonard finally perfected a method of Rebirthing himself and others in 1974. His discovery also called Conscious Breathing or Intuitive Energy Breathing is so effective that it has spontaneously, without major advertising, spread to over 10 million people around the world. Rebirthing in the New Age published in 1977, is the Bible of Rebirthing. Later, Leonard wrote a very practical book about breathing called Breath Awareness. Rebirthing is the ability to breathe energy as well as air and also involves unraveling birth trauma, death urge and ultimately all human conditioning. Leonard believes that it is possible to become a conscious expression of the Eternal Spirit and to really enjoy Life.
After spreading Rebirthing Breathwork around the world to a few thousand people by 1981, Leonard learned about the healing power of fire. Fire saved him from the death urge of his students. Fire is his book on the subject. It describes how to use fire to heal the death urge and persistent negative emotions. He says, “Fire is as important to human health as food, breathing, and bathing.”
In the 1960’s Leonard read about Immortal Yogis, but he wanted to actually meet one.
In 1977, Leonard took his first trek to India looking for an immortal human being. He arbitrarily selected 300 as the minimum age standard to qualify for his research. In 1977 he met Babaji in a 9058 year old body. Babaji is called the Angel of the Lord in the Bible. He met in physical bodies seven other immortal yogis some of whom have maintained a continuous local address on Earth for over 2000 years. His books Physical Immortality (1980), The Common Sense of Physical Immortality (1988), Babaji, the Angel of the Lord (1992) and Bhartriji (1984), reflect these experiences.
To live over 300 years you have to heal not only the death urge, but the diseases of old age. As a result of distilling the common denominators of the spiritual practices of the immortal yogis he studied, Leonard learned how to survive old age and has become a senility graduate himself. he has discovered the joys of life beyond senility–after old age. His book The Secrets of Youthing contains his rites of passage through this most dangerous period of human existence in which most people give up and die.
In his book Personal Energy Management, also written in this period, Leonard describes how living in divine energy makes one strong, but sensitive to emotional energy pollution. He describes how to heal the death urge over and over and keep oneself spiritually clean through spiritual purification.
At this time in 1994, Leonard’s second child was born and he wrote a book about Rebirthing infants called The Healing Power of Birth and Rebirth. The book includes his daughter’s ideal underwater birth and gives much insight into the birthing process.
Leonard’s book, About Your Femininity, reveals Leonard’s profound insight into human relationships. All the women who have read it wonder how Leonard could know more about women than even women know about themselves.
Leonard’s greatest literary creations are his commentary on and translation of The Shiva Purana, which is the most ancient and greatest of Scriptures–the Word of God, and The Healing Manual, which is subtitled “the owner’s manual for owning and mastering our body and natural divinity”.
When Leonard started writing he didn’t see any sense in writing books about things that there is already a book about. So he only writes about things that really enrich people’s life. After several years of producing rich and practical and beautiful books, he noticed that people buy books that are familiar. The books that sell on the best sellers list are books that say the same thing that most other books say. Therefore, he noticed he had a problem. How do you sell books about knowledge that nobody knows about? You, reader, have the answer to this question!
