Confirmation for those who ask.

This book is full of pointers to finding the truth within. I resonated with what I read here and feel it’s truth deeply. These 8 steps are simple and helpful to those having inner revelations of truth. There’s confirmation of these revelations throughout every chapter. I am grateful to Edwin for what is written here. Thank you for your journey within and for bringing it to us. I send you unconditional love from the One we are. -Tabby

Some Good Stuff Here

Anger as a construct of the mind and the issue of missed expectations was perhaps the most interesting and resonant message in this quick but deep read. It takes just an hour or so to read, but there’s good stuff in here that will make a difference in your perspectives.

Interesting read

This little book is like red and blue pill test from the Matrix. Ignore the book and continue your life like every day. Take it, read it, understand it and you will not be the same.

Short book to help you combine daily life with spiritual practices. There are some interesting connections made in this book that might leave many scratching their heads. However, the message of this book is one for the ages.

Peace and Love,

Repetitive, unoriginal, vauge, pantheistic, and elementary. At least it was free.
