pretty good starting point for open minded noobs, super easy to understand. the concepts will seem a bit crazy to the uninitiated tho lol, but i just hope skeptics and intellectuals read this with an open mind. i don't buy into everything in this, as i don't fully buy into anything except my own truth. but i found this to be a nice easy read for the plane :)
date started and date finished is real lol - i read half on the plane, started reading like 5 other books, then came back to this :) had like two chapters leftover lol
Very good primer for beginners and advanced students of the spirit. I recommend anyone who wants to know more about spirituality, and deeper ideas and theories, to read this book. It'll help get you started. It is a quick read and won't bog you down with more complex ideas. For advanced students, it is a great review. The website Montalk, also has many recommended reads. Check those out once you've finished this book.
First half is pretty interesting, 2nd half is sci-fi nonsense.
The first half talks about many interesting things such how your mental state influences external events that shape your reality, as well as topics such as synchronicities, meditation, and dream interpretation. These topics are similar to psychological theories from Carl Jung and esoteric philosophies like Hermeticism. This part of the book is very well spoken and based on actual demonstrable facts and ancient theories.
When you get to the 2nd half of the book its starts going crazy, entire chapters dedicated to the same standard conspiracy theories you heard about as a kid. Aliens are real and control Earth, Atlantis was real historic place, white people are from another planet. None of these things are backed by any evidence or anything of substance, the author just authoritatively declares them to be true with nothing to back it up. I'm open to wild theories and alternative history, but it must be actually based in either some kind of evidence or at least some kind of compelling theories. The authors claims are basically the same standard science fiction/alternative reality stories that you've probably already heard of before.
This book is a great resource for anyone starting out in their process of "awakening". If you find some of the concepts in this book to be far fetched, then I suggest you do the research yourself and find your own Truth. This book is a consolidation of a massive amount of research, and very lightly touches on the subjects mentioned.
Some interesting concepts... sure. But with absolutely no evidence or background context to back up the claims. The text is written very authoritatively, about absolutely wild concepts. I’m all for wild theories, but give me some extra info to chew on, instead of just asking me to believe in it outright.
The book speaks a lot about reality and helps you define a like between the physical and spiritual world or as cited in the book a like between lower and upper self. Gathering, contemplating and meditating will help you achieve this.
A very good and brief introduction to occult knowledge and secret society spirituality. The book is a great jumping off point to then read other authors like M. Summers, Steiner, Cayce and Gurdjieff.
Excellent primer on the more fringe aspects of our reality that rarely get talked about. You'll learn more in this book that you would reading your average self-improvement book. Quite short, and eloquently written. Strays away from the mainstream view on many subjects so may be challenging for some to digest.
This is the most staggeringly concise compilation of the most important knowledge humanity would best awaken to. We are blessed in the availability of this work. Read for yourself and see if you agree.
