LIGHT REALIZED
LIVING THE REALIZATION
A GUIDE TO LIVING FROM THE LIGHT WITHIN
Many have heard, “Let the Spirit guide you.” Few have been shown how.
Light Realized is a practical and spiritually grounded guide to learning how to recognize and respond to the Spirit’s quiet leading in daily life.
Written for Christians and seekers alike, this book moves beyond abstract theology and into the lived process of transformation — how thoughts are stewarded, how grace reshapes identity, and how alignment replaces striving.
Blending Scripture, spiritual formation, and insights from neuroscience, Jared Richey invites readers into a steady, experiential faith rooted in presence rather than performance.

Meet the Author
Jared Richey has served in public education for nearly three decades and writes with one central conviction: the light within us is not imaginary, it is a divine invitation. He believes true transformation is not performance, but awakening: becoming honest, becoming present, becoming love. Light Realized was born from a simple longing…to step off the roller coaster of fear and finally live what the soul has always known is possible: peace, clarity, and a life that feels whole.
Jared loves being at home with his family, spending time outdoors, and returning often to stillness…where gratitude grows and perspective is restored. His work is shaped by the belief that life is meant to be lived fully, and that ordinary moments can become doorways into Presence. Jared’s hope is that Light Realized helps you remember what has been true all along; and gives you simple ways to live it, one day at a time.
