[HillbillyMystic · Rating 5 out of 5]

Like they say in Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3 this piece was classic post modern neo-faboo! You will have to forgive me but I prefer a little humor with my mysticism. Mayhap my soul is comical or mayhap life lends itself to humor when one starts his path of the fool alone, hopeless and penniless in a forest outside Nederland, Colorado. All I knew was I had a legitimate spiritual experience, however being lifted so high off the checkerboard of base consciousness so quickly freaked this old retired social worker right out. Some folk thought I had lost my mind but I knew I was finally out of Plato’s Cave and thus finally sane. I was unaware of any of this hidden, occulted knowledge at the time and only just now am realizing it was the beginning of a magical, mystical journey. Laws yes, am I powerful grateful today for all the misery that led me here today. This book and these meditations, like most things I am reading today will need to be read again and again and put into my meditation rotation, if you please.

A Solid Introduction to Rosicrucian Thought

This little tome is a competitively easy read which belies the depth of thought that this book presents. The casual reader will come to a deeper understanding; the incredulous reader will at least have to admit that this deductive metaphysics is sound unto itself; the initiated reader will gain a deep appreciation of what she had already learned. At various points, I was any one of these. I recommend this, but only to the interested and open reader.

Excellent Read

This book will pour into you on every level. Thought provoking, this book will make you rethink everything you currently believe about yourself, and your beliefs.

Only con is that a lot of the words used were not favorable to anyone new to the subjects discussed. I had to use my Kindle dictionary a LOT when simple layman's terms could have been used and made it an easier read over all.

Other than that, excellent book.

Used for AMORC study sessions

Great book for Rosicrucian Order AMORC book review and study. Very informative and though provoking. Causes one to think of the basis of life, their spiritual existence and the effects of your spirit on the outward environment.
