Pure Eyes Clean Heart

A candid account of a married couple's journey after discovery of the husband's pornography addiction. Filled with empathy, biblical insight, and hope for true healing.

To me personally, acceptance began as a necessity rather than a spiritual pursuit. Amid life's trials, I explored various avenues to alleviate emotional pain – from meditation and mindfulness to seeking solace in nature and prayer. Yet, amidst these practices, I stumbled upon something more profound: acceptance. I soon realized that only through acceptance could I truly transform my life and surroundings. Over two years, I meticulously documented my journey and insights, culminating in the creation of this book. In crafting this book, I sought to distill my experiences into a concise yet rich narrative, detailing every step of my acceptance practice. At its core, acceptance is beautifully simple: it's about embracing the present moment with a calm heart that surrenders to what is. But simplicity does not equate to ease; it requires sustained and guided practice to yield true growth. Through my journey, I discovered that acceptance, when embraced wholeheartedly, has the power to gradually open our hearts like gentle flowers, allowing us to perceive the world in its pure, pristine quality. This profound revelation inspired me to rename this work from "The Path to Acceptance" to "The Pure Heart of Acceptance," reflecting the desire to live from a place of love, joy, and spiritual fulfillment. I hope this book serves as a guiding light on your own path towards acceptance, empowering you to embrace its transformative power and experience its profound impact on your life. Namaste.
