Spirit
I’ve distilled the insights from those thousands of pages into this book. The original journals contain the direct record of dialogues with Spirit, but to make them more accessible to my readers, I’ve condensed those conversations into clear summaries of the insights that Spirit has conveyed through this process.

The Process
I had been journaling each morning for many, many years. The more I did it, the more important and deep a practice it seemed to be.
A few years ago, I was working with senior lead IFS trainer Kay Gardner, and she took us through an exercise that I thought was a little silly. Because it was Kay, I went ahead and did it, anyway.
Kay’s instructions were, “Start talking inside and ask a question to Spirit – and then write that down, and write down whatever answer comes.”
The very first time I did this, there was a voice answering me inside who was wiser and more intelligent than I am, and I was stunned. It seems like an almost trivial practice, but it’s not.
I then decided to start a different journal for these dialogues and to create a separate morning process. It quickly led me into a deeper and deeper relationship with some wisdom in me that’s a lot smarter than my normal waking self. With more than a dozen volumes, this book is the summary of the first years of these journals.
Advance Praise for Spirit
–Kay Gardner, Senior IFS trainer
“Robert Falconer has done it again! Another truly inspiring and spiritually significant book that helps the reader to tap into more Self energy through their relationship with guides. This process has been a guiding force for me in my life and I am happy Bob is making it accessible to many. Enjoy dear reader!”
—Richard C. Schwartz, founder of Internal Family Systems Therapy
“Bob Falconer has been at the cutting edge of the spiritual side of IFS for years. Here he documents the intimate and wise messages his spirit guide has been giving him for a decade. Whether or not you believe in the guide phenomenon or agree with all the positions his guide takes, you will be intrigued, moved and, at times, inspired by his courageously honest reporting of this guidance.”
Barney Jordan. PhD, Harvard medical school-trained psychologist former meditation teacher at MIT
“Bob invites us into the most intimate of love letters. Devoid of sacred spirituality and cheap grace, Spirit Speaks directly to our own heart’s desire for the high (and low!) adventure of healing and wellness. A true delight. Truly a good sign of Spirit’s presence!”
The Book
The daily practice of dialoguing with Spirit has changed me in profound ways! I’ve been involved with many other kinds of inner-work, including 12-steps, for some thirty years. This daily practice has deepened all of that and helped me change and grow.
This book is not intended to be read straight through. Find some words that touch you – then put the book down. See if that message can be useful and helpful in your life.
I tried for months to edit the dialogues to make the text less challenging and easier, before I realized that this is not what Spirit wants. Spirit is a carefully condensed version of the key insights that I’ve received while dialoguing with Spirit over many years.
I’ll consider Spirit a success if it changes some other lives as it has changed mine, whether from reading the book, or being inspired to begin to dialogue with Spirit. I encourage you to try this process for yourself.
