DNF — I gave up. I don’t resonate with this philosophy of disembodiment and spiritual bypassing. I had high hopes but my inner compass is like, NOPE!

Reparations!! The gall of this character is ludicrous! Victim syndrome at its best.

4 more hours left on the audiobook. Perfect for a long cleaning and organising session this week. Lets goooo!

It's so easy to lose momentum when you've taken a break from a book.. This one being so full of technical and practical information makes it one that needs quite a bit of focus and attention.

Time to actually finish this book! I got a bit bogged down by the exercises when I first started it, but now I'm going to just get to the end, then Work my way through the exercises seperately.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a fantasy novel like this. This is my first book by Travis Baldree, and it’s cool, but I’m not sure I’m invested enough to read more from the same universe. I think this will be a one off. If I was in a season of needing a book to escape, this would be perfect. I’m Buddy reading it with a group on discord, so the social aspect is fun at least!

I don’t even know where to begin.. this book is an experience and it feels like an energy exchange. There’s much more going on than what’s on the page.. it gives me the tingles and I feel like I’m in the presence of a very wise teacher imparting wisdom on more than the physical level. Thank you Mr. Muhl!

On to Part 2.. The Magdalene

I’m enjoying this audiobook thoroughly. It amazing to learn about all the reasons DaVinci is known.. not just for the paintings but for his achievements in many different areas including science, engineering and optics.

I can relate to his thirst for knowledge on many different topics and found that I resonated with some of his peculiar behaviours. I’m glad I decided to delve in the life of this genius.

Mind blown! It feels like an initiation into lost teachings of a group I’m finding I resonate with so much! The connections I’m able to make with the information is astounding.

I’ve never read such a mouth-watering book in my life!!! I would classify this as food porn in the best and most dignified way possible. I. Am. Loving it.

The story is set in Japan and I’m really enjoying the cultural immersion and discourse about gender, relationships & society.

The characters are complex and beautifully written.

I’ve read some Japanese non-fiction titles but never a novel. mesmerising.

Definitely shaping up to be one of my favourite books of the year! I love being able to feel the plights of the characters in such an immersive way. No being pulled out of the flow by weird details or plot holes.. loving itt !! — and I feel like I’m approaching a turning point in the story 📖👀

The emotional intimacy I’m feeling with this book though… it’s been a minute!! 🙌🏾

“Eva beamed like she’d just arrived at the gates of heaven. Sunshine burst from her ears and her pupils turned into emoji hearts.” 😍❤️

Very nice intro to one of the main characters.. I’m curious and emotionally invested in her future!

Very informative! I feel like I need to get a physical copy so I can do the exercises easier. Listening is cool as a guided meditation too so maybe both is ideal.

Loving it so far.. 😍

I love this book so much, and listening to it is amazing! I should be finished with it by now, but I keep relistening to certain chapters. So much inspiration and gems crammed into this! I'm just overflowing with CAN DO attitude and excitement to use some of these tools... Onwards!

Almost there... and wow, things have definitely popped off! I'm looking forward to the finish line!

The world building is super interesting, the different magical elements are cool to think about with the different types of fairies and their abilities… Feyre is getting on my nerves a little bit though, and I’m not that excited about the romantic side of the plot.. maybe it will pick up for me as I get deeper into the story.

I'm listening to the audiobook and I love the proverbial flow of the book so far. I feel the need to buy the physical book so that I can ruminate on some of the quotes and ideas and think of ways to integrate the simple yet transformative teachings.

It may not resonate if you don't appreciate a philosophical/spiritual way of communication, but if you do then I think this book will really inspire you.

I'm enjoying the character development and the world building is really well paced. I'm not in love with any of the characters yet, but I like where it's going and Feyre is cool.. giving me a bit of Belle vibes.

Ch. 17 — I like it so far. The switching between generations creates an interesting layered effect to the mystery of who the characters actually are. It’s so interesting to witness the development and self discovery of these characters, and watch them cope with their trials.

This will go down as one of my favourite books ever!

Very dense amount of information. Fascinating.

So many gems!! Really enjoying the creative affirmations.

I'm really enjoying this book so far. Gilbert's premise of idea's having a stand alone consciousness - separate from being generated from a human brain - has given me pause (in a good way), and meditating on that possibility has been surprisingly refreshing.

Listening to this on audible is horrible.. I can't get into the story with the voice actor's strange dialects. Going to give this one a pass for now.
