As the title of the book suggests - this book is a good “discussion “ as to how the mind is the foundation to doing anything - but not much beyond that or something I’d expect from a book - but still worth a listen and made for quick and easy consuming like a lengthy podcast or YouTube video you could complete in one go…

Ok but not what the title suggests

I have been reading a lot of the Cayce material and so was excited to read Mitch's book. However, if I am honest, although I enjoyed the book I didn't feel that it lived up to the title. I was under the impression that it would investigate the more practical side of Cayce material. Nonetheless, the book itself was still enjoyable and does offer some interesting insights into other "mystics, teachers and philosophers" Mary Eddy and Christian Science, Helen Walman's insights and even comments on Neville Goddard. This offers other material which readers may find of additional interest.

Concise and easily digestible. Most of what Mitch Horowitz puts his name to, peeks my interest.

Feels like a precursor to Horowitz’s Occult America
