Very insightful but too many assumptions, definitely worth a read

I would not recommend this book to serious readers. It was recommended to me by a friend and my review reflects that.
If you are interested in a book which does what I think Ford wanted to do here, I would recommend reading St. Germain's Alchemy instead. As it is much more scholarly and academic though not lacking in mystical insights either; but it is a far more difficult read as well. St. Germain's work on this similar theme is much more thorough and better thought through if you are looking for a work about 'your inner most potentials in life' particularly accentuating them via your own conscious spectrum and field of interaction.
While 'Ford' seems to be wildly optimistic and excited to share his insights with you, they are largely incoherent fluff. Throughout this book he seems very privy to stating that reputable sources coincide with his theories though he does little to connect the dots and show how quantum mechanics (for example) link into his theories so 'perfectly' as he claims that they do. I think that on some level I can see where Ford's conceptual intent arises from and what he wants to convey, perhaps even shades of why; but I am not sure that he has the talent as either a thinker or writer to explicate that in a way that is meaningful and valuable to his potential readers.
I get a very: "I think this insight is great, though I don't understand the ins and outs of it, so I am going to write a book about how you can take control over your life" kind of vibe from it that sadly promises a lot and delivers very little that makes a read worthwhile. Many remnants of this text had a narcissistic / solipsistic feel to them, which is a trend which turns me off very quickly. The idea that subjectivity, and the curvature of the mind can change and bend reality beyond the limits and confines that are already contained in the field of potentials of objective reality always feel like fairy tales to me. I am much more interested in ideas, similar to this, but more down to earth which recognize where the actual limits and bounds of consciousness lay when we are laying subjective modification of our experiences over them; such as St. Germain's Alchemy which I mentioned at the beginning of this review.
This book needed a few more years of thought and a good editor. It might be great for some people, but I have no idea who those some people are, and I am not one of them.
