Sanctuary: The Path to Consciousness
More than half a century after Einstein first described the energetic unity of the world in his famous equation, E=mc2, we are finally beginning to understand the spiritual and mystical implications of his discovery. Sanctuary: The Path to Consciousness is about the miraculous possibilities that emerge when we see the universe as a matrix of frozen light, the spiritual manifestation of our intuitive consciousnesses. In this remarkable novel, you will find a new energetic model of the body, the spirit, and the nature of the physical world. It points the way to unlimited possibilities of absolute, eternal transformation, and you will find out that it is readily available now! After reading this book, you too can take advantage of the techniques of energetic Quantum-Consciousness Evaluation, and be able to identify and remove subtle-energy imbalances to attain and integrate physical, emotional, and spiritual harmony!

Sin duda, un libro difícil de reseñar. En general está bien, se lee con bastante facilidad, solo que he encontrado algunas ideas algo repetitivas.

Worth the money? Literary wise: hell no. Heckle wise: "Oh my, my. Oh, hell yes. Honey, put on that party dress."
Here's the short version: This book is nothing buta pure, craptacular waste of many, many innocent trees an infomercial in book form for EMC2(as in Squared) LLC.
The long version:
I like to think I am an open-minded person. However, I am not so open-minded that all common sense dribbles right out of my head and onto the ground. The authors of this book seem to take it for granted their readers’ heads are all empty and all that space normally filled with common sense is ready to soak up their spiel.
My first problem (of many) is right there on the dust jacket. It plainly states this book is a novel. However, on the back, there are nine glowing recommendations from various Hollywood and spiritual celebrities for the "real life Max" and the work he does. Inside are even more recommendations filling four and a quarter pages. All before the title page.
Oh, yes. This "novel" must be totally excellent and on the level! It's got a blurb from seventies recording star, Herb Alpert!
Of course, since this is a complete work of fiction, certain disclaimers apply. No silly and common "purely coincidental" ones for these folks! The last two lines read (emphasis mine) : The intent of the authors is only to offer information of a general nature to help you in your quest for emotional and spiritual well-being. In the event you use any of the information in this book for yourself, which is your constitutional right, the authors and the publisher assume no responsibility for your actions.
Sometimes it seems the only people who are interested in the Constitution are the ones who will abuse the hell out of it. This “information of a general nature” seems awfully specific if you ask me. It pretty much tells you what EMC(Squared) does and how. About the only thing it doesn’t tell you is the fee for this miraculous service (which was at least $1000 US last time I checked the website.)
For this :::ahem::: small fee, the client is scanned for how much “lifeforce” they have and various “negative energetic frequencies” that may interfere with it. These frequencies are caused environmentally, inherited from ancestors or passed from person to person. According to this book, everybody has something and needs to have those frequencies removed.
Convenient, eh? Guaranteed money for the miracle worker! The best thing is the client doesn’t even have to show up by the end of the book. Just send in a photo with your $1000 and get ready to feel those good vibes!
Besides being co-opted for the name of this place, Einstein’s famous equation is drug into the story as part of the explanation for why this service works. According to Miracle Max (Humperdink! Humperdink!), the definition of this equation is “Spirit is energy and energy is Spirit…Energy is in all things and makes up all things. Thus, all illness is spiritual, which is to say that all illness is energetic in nature.” (page 85, paragraph three.)
Now, I don’t have any problem whatsoever with the idea of spiritual energy infusing and making up all things. In fact, it seems to appear in various philosophies and faiths throughout the world. However, it isn’t science. The sole concern of science is the physical world. To this end, e=mc(Squared) predicted the energy levels released from atoms when they are completely destroyed. The two of the most familiar developments from this formula are nuclear fission and fusion. Thanks to those, we have nuclear power plants and the Cassini spacecraft.
And this relates to lifeforce and “energetic frequencies” how? Oh yeah, I keep forgetting. This book is just a work of fiction, right?
As Dorothy Parker once wrote, “This isn’t a book to be set lightly aside. It should be thrown with great force.”

Was happily reading along until I figured out that the whole book is an infomercial. And for a mere $1000 per year, you too can have all your evil resonances erased. Screw that!

This was given to my sibling by a homeless lady, who then passed it on to me. After reading said book, my mind was unfortunately not expanded, largely due to the fact that it so strongly resembles another favorite novelist of mine, L. Ron Hubbard. The epilogue was glued in the back as a pamphlet, which really added to the aesthetic. If you're in for a ride, I highly recommend based solely on these quotes:
"Sometime in my early sex life, I had contracted a venereal disease which manifested a small amount of pus for a few days, along with painful urination."
"For example, I used to have herpes and now I don't."
"Inside the gate there is a footpath, and the footpath must be winding. At the turning of the footpath there is an outdoor screen, and the screen must be small. Behind the screen, there is a terrace, and the terrace must be level. On the banks of the terrace there are flowers, and the flowers must be fresh. Beyond the flowers is a wall, and the wall must be low. By the side of the wall there is a pine tree, and the pine tree must be old. At the foot of the pine tree there are rocks, and the rocks must be quaint. Over the rocks there is a pavilion, and the pavilion must be simple. Behind the pavilion are bamboos, and the bamboos must be thin and sparse. At the end of the bamboos there is a house, and the house must be secluded. By the side of the house there is a road, and the road must branch off. At the point where the several roads come together there is a bridge, and the bridge must be tantalizing to cross. At the end of the bridge there are trees, and the trees must be tall. In the shade of the trees there is grass, and the grass must be green. Above the grass plot there is a ditch, and the ditch must be slender. At the top of the ditch there is a spring, and the spring must gurgle. Above the spring there is a hill, and the hill must be deep. Below the hill there is a hall, and the hall must be square. At the corner of the hall there is a vegetable garden, and the vegetable garden must be big. In the vegetable garden there is a stork, and the stork must dance. The stork announces that there is a guest, and the guest must not be vulgar. When the guest arrives, there is wine, and wine must not be declined. During the service of the wine, there is drunkenness, and the drunken guest must not want to go home.”
That last one is technically a quote from Lin Yutang, but yes, it's in there. More than once. At least once it's the whole quote. Just like, in the middle of a wacky road trip.
"What a beautiful place to throw up."
"'How can this be?' I moaned in my most plaintive voice, sounding somewhat high and lonely, like a nineteenth-century cowboy somewhere off in the desert who has just seen a space shuttle."
There are so many more but you'll have to read the book to find them. I'm honestly torn between giving this 1 and 5 stars. So have 2.

A very well written short novel that I really enjoyed. The concepts and ideas around energy and frequency are very much in alignment with what I've been discovering for myself. I look forward to meeting the group and founder of EMC2 and will be participant myself.

This book is written as a novel for ease of reading and concepts, but the work is very real. It is a wonderful glimpse into the world of energetics and healing, including self-healing aspects. A great read for anyone interested in alternative fields of curative medicine and finding a better path to truly understanding the body, mind and soul.
Excellent book.
Excellent book.

I thought this was a good book - pretty insightful

Writen as a novel but explores the world of energy based healing. The subject is more interesting than the story, but makes it more than a dry factual read.
