Book Description
Bishop Jordan has written a stellar work that is guaranteed to free the mentally enslaved, acquit the wrongfully charged, and bring healing to the sick. The Laws of Thinking is not a work for the shallow-minded person. It is demanding and challenging. It is neither intended to be used as the basis for unmerited criticism nor as sermon material for the minister having difficulty receiving a fresh work from the Lord. It was written with a very clear aim: to provoke spiritual thought. Bill Gates' Microsoft, Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions, Stephen Spielberg's DreamWorks, and even his own Zoe Ministries all began with a thought.
Every invention, university, book, song, business, home, skyscraper, movie, stage play, and baby began when someone chose to think. Nothing happens without thought. Creation did not happen without God's thought. Bishop Jordan's first objective is getting you to think.

The Laws of Thinking is the Law of the Land.......2007-09-11
As a man thinketh so is he states Proverbs 23:7 from the Wisest Man Who Ever Lived, The Great King Solomon..Bishop E. Bernard Jordan gives us the 20 Secrets to Using the GOD-GIVEN Divine Power of Mind... I Cor 2:16 states that who has known the Lord to instruct Him, yet we have the Mind of Christ...This Divine Mind within empowers us to manifest prosperity which is a benefit of salvation or the Greek definition soteria which means peace, prosperity, health, wellness all of which is defined in the Laws that our wonderful Master Prophet teaches in this book from the Law of Becoming to the Law of the Harvest...this is a step by step manual for those Christians who are looking beyond the letter......and beckoned by the spirit to come into the DEEP...
En-POWER-ing! Beware: Likely not palatable by Fundamentalists.......2007-09-10
I found Bishop Jordan's work so inspiring, enpowering and en-LIGHT-ening (as in shedding LIGHT on one's spiritual nature and relation to God, taking one out of DARKNESS)that I now own both the book and the CD and am working my way through his workbook. (Available from his site.) If the belief system you have chosen will allow you to consider other view-points without FEAR, that I recommend it highly, (especially for "Rhinos" - ie, entrepreneurs) so as to help manifest God's GOOD in your life. Remember, the validity of your belief system manifests in its FRUITS.) Alas, I could see "Fundamentalists" or "Literalists" taking offense at some thoughts expressed in it. One of my favorite parts in the book is when Jordan cites a instance when precisely this happened and a congregation member gasped "Bishop Jordan thinks he's God!" and he replied "NO! God thinks he's ME!"
May your Blessings ensue...

prosperity consciousness from another source.......2007-08-05
Florence Scovel Shinn was writing about prosperity consciousness in the late 1800's and early 1900's, well ahead of the current trend. Her books are easy to read and easy to understand. I highly recommend this book to all of my friends and they are purchasing it and doing the same. That says it all in my mind.
Changed my entire approach to living. . ........2007-07-06
The Game of Life and How to Play It has been the most influential self-help reading to date that I have found. The book is easy to read and understand. I have read my copy probably 15 times; pages are beginning to fall out. The fact that it is divided into sections for life's encounters, e.g., prosperity, love, etc., I can go back when I need help getting through the rough times to that particular section and gain strength and guidence. Once read, the writings just all come together to make more sense about approaching life's daily challenges than anything I have ever read; and, trust me I've read plenty of self-help books. I love this book so much that I have bought 6 copies to give to beloved family members and close friends because I do not want to keep the insights this book reveals to myself. I want everyone I care deeply about to experience what this book has to offer. Great read, great lessons!
Brilliant!.......2007-06-13
I've had this book for years and have worn out the cover. I refer to it constantly. I purchased copies for friends and have been doing so since I first read it. Florence was before her time!
My Favorite Book of All Time!.......2007-06-09
Absolutely without question the most charming and inspiring book I've ever read. My copy is lovingly dog-eared, my loaner copy is in the same condition and I've bought several as gifts.
Of all the "positive thinkers", including the much more well-known such as Louise Hay and Norman Vincent Peale, Florence is the most enjoyable to read and the easiest to apply to your life, in my opinion.
Reading her is sheer delight and an instant mood-lifter and problem-solver, every time.
before the secret.......2007-05-17
This is an amazing collection of writings that gives real and practial ways to move forward in life. A Lady well before her time, the princibles that she teaches are not secrets just forgotten over time.
Have a little faith, change your Life.

Customer Reviews:
Great book if you need a kick in the pants.......2007-09-05
This book reminds me of the old days when I was devouring everything written by Carlos Castaneda. The difference is that Mr. Ray doesn't talk about the actual experiences he's had with his spiritual teachers -- rather, he tells you a few things about how you should (and shouldn't) live your life.
While I have no problem with the principles Mr. Ray is teaching (I am somewhat familiar with most of it already), I cannot help being turned off by his writing style. I feel that Mr. Ray shows an emormous contempt for the lifestyle of the average person. He uses words like "whimp" and "wet paper bag" rather frequently. I find this arrogant and snotty.
Sure, it is easy to get negative feelings when you notice how some people live, but a person at an advanced level of spiritual achievment ought to have gone beyond such negativity.
Also he talks about how people and relationships are "dispensable". My spontaneous thought when I read this is: "This guy obviously never has had children!" If he'd had the experience of caring for a baby of his own, he wouldn't be able to talk so flippantly about others being "dispensable".
He talks a lot about how he fights his Ego -- and I cannot help but think: "Seems like the Ego is fighting itself".
If you want to read a very different book about spirituality, I strongly recommend "The Power of Now" -- also I urge you to read "Soul on Fire": Soul on Fire: A Transformational Journey from Priest to Shaman by Peter Calhoun. The latter book takes a shamanic approach to spirituality, but unlike Mr. Rays' book it is devoid of arrogance and doesn't talk down to you. (I hope Mr. Ray will forgive me for recommending a competitor!)
This is an excellent book.......2007-08-16
This is an excellent book, conveying the message in an easy to understand English (don't underestimate the depth of the subject by the easy read language). It's definitely a book to study. I enjoyed reading it the first time and gained insight but I will study it the second round.
Very easy to read book!.......2007-07-12
I really enjoyed this book. He took difficult topics and ideas and put them into a simpler form that is easy to understand and follow. I look forward to reading it again so I can make better use of it.

Great book, I enjoy the contents of the book. The author really nailed it in every chapter.
Book Description
EXCUSE ME, YOUR LIFE IS WAITING: THE ASTONISHING POWER OF FEELINGS picks up where most positive thinking books have left off, giving us the rather startling new information that every moment of our lives is governed by our EMOTIONS, not by luck, or hard work, or circumstance, or good thoughts, or visualization.
The material in EXCUSE ME has never been told before, because it was never known before, and clarifies why the majority of us have lived with all-too-empty bank accounts, tough relationships, failing health, and often spiritually unfulfilling lives.
In her upbeat, humorous, and somewhat irreverent style, author Lynn Grabhorn (who increased her income 830% in one year using these principles) shows us how, with this astonishing new data, to turn it all around and create the kind of life we've always dreamed of...not ten years from now, but RIGHT NOW.

its true...........2007-10-13
I have just finished this book it was roaming around my apartment for 2 months, I picked up the book one day while I was feeling as low as possible about my current circumstances, by the time I fifnished reading this book not only did I feel much, much better but amazing things had started to happen for me.... It has truly changed my life. I had always heard of the law of attration but never really understood it until I read this book, I am now hooked and want to learn everything I can about the subject. I have told everyone I know and they are now interested in following this amazing gift. Please be clear that My faith in GOD has not changed and I truly beleive in the higher powers that are far greater than us, this is just something for me to become a better and happier "me".
An entertaining book about the power of feelings.......2007-10-09
I read this book a while back and found it to be of great value to me. As other reviewers have pointed out, it perhaps could have benefited from some additional editing, but in my view it's the raw content that's key as opposed to focusing too much on the mechanics of the writing. I really liked Lynn's sense of humor, and her passion for the topic was obvious throughout the book. Was it repetitive in places? Sure, but many books in the personal and personal growth categories are like this. If the message is solid I don't see a problem with hearing it a few times within the context of the work. Because it's both informative and entertaining, in my own book I've included "Excuse Me..." as a "must read" for anyone on the path of spiritual growth.
ONE OF THE BEST.......2007-10-04
I have spent an entire year devouring books on the Spiritual Laws of the Universe, you name it, ive read it. I am finally understanding the concepts now and my life feels great. I started with This book "Excuse me your life is waiting" then went on the read EVERYTHING (thanks to the recommended reading list on the back page of The Attractor Factor, thanks Joe!!) including many FANTASTIC Authors including Abraham/Hicks, Wayne Dyer, Florence Scovel-Shinn, Ghalil,Mike Dooley. and many many others, and the thing is Lynn gives techniques to incorporate with what All of these Great Great people are teaching. We do have to RAISE OUR VIBRATION, We have to FEEL GOOD. Postitive thoughts/images/feelings will GIVE US positive events/things in our lives. The thing is Lynn gives us WONDERFUL Techniques to use, I have found myself now going back to this book and reading it again and just LOVING it, it is a must must must read (and practice) to compliment your other readings. GOD BLESS YOU LYNN.
Law of Attraction does not work.......2007-10-01
I absolutely love this book, I have read it several times but the entire premise is flawed.
In chapter six she writes that she "hired a salesperson that was more into lack than I was (naturally; that was all I could attract)" and at the bottom of the same page she writes "It was somewhere right around that emotional low when a bunch of my all-too-enthusiastic friends began insisting I look into this material they had gotten hold of about the Law of Attraction".
Those two sentences are contradictory. If the only thing that she could attract was someone focusing on lack, how would it be possible for her to attract her friends that were focusing on abundance. If the Law of Attraction were a law of the universe, as she states, either she would attract one but not the other. She can't have both.
While I love her story and the inspiration of how things can be turned around in one's life at the drop of a hat, I love the explanation that conditions and circumstances are unimportant, and I have no doubt that her experiences were true and that the "suit of well being" where nothing can harm you is possible, I cannot believe that it came about by using the Law of Attraction. It would have been violated for her to get the information to her in the first place.
I believe that what happened was that the Expanded Self, as she calls, just got tired of playing with the situation that it had created and just created a totally different scenario, only it used the Law of Attraction as an excuse to do so, and make her think that the Law of Attraction was responsible for her turnaround when it has no value whatsoever.
A Life-changing Book.......2007-08-30
Once in a few years you come across a book which has a life-changing impact. This is one of them. The changes in my life as a result of reading it are profound. A few months after reading the book, I am still implementing the ideas and manifesting amazing results. In the last twenty or more years I have read an enormous amount of self-help books, many of them dealt with Reality Creation. This books most definitely gets the first prize. If, like me, you have been reading many books and still not experiencing any significant changes in your reality, this book is the biggest present you could give yourself. Buy it and watch the miracles come marching into your life.
Book Description
Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to succeed. However, intention is viewed very differently in this book. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has researched intention as a force in the universe that allows the act of creation to take place. This audio program explores intention—not as something you do—but as an energy you're a part of. We're all intended here through the invisible power of intention. This is the first book to look at intention as a field of energy that you can access to begin co-creating your life with the power of intention.
Part I deals with the principles of intention, offering true stories and examples on ways to make the connection. Dr. Dyer identifies the attributes of the all-creating universal mind of intention as creative, kind, loving, beautiful, expanding, endlessly abundant, and receptive, explaining the importance of emulating this source of creativity. In Part II, Dr. Dyer offers an intention guide with specific ways to apply the co-creating principles in daily life. Part III is an exhilarating description of Dr. Dyer's vision of a world in harmony with the universal mind of intention.

Dr. Wayne Dyer's take on the Law of Attraction.......2007-03-30
I love listening to Dr Wayne Dyer. Unlike a lot of audio recordings with authors that have voices that can put you to sleep, Dyer has the ability to entertain and engage the listener with every word he speaks. The Power of Intention, like the book outlines how you can change your energy to attract the things you want in your life. This CD inspires me and lifts my energy vibration everytime I hear it. There is much to absorb and much to learn from this recording. Highly recommended.

Book Description
This book will show you how to unlock your sixth sense. You will discover how to draw on the unlimited power of your mind.
"I found this fascinating."-
Dan Rather
"The world is a better place now that SIXTH SENSE is back in print. This book is a classic that deserves to be read over and over again. No other book so elegantly combines an understanding of intuition with the sciences of parapsychology and brain physiology."-
Jeffrey Mishlove, Ph.D., Dean of Consciousness Studies, University of Philosophical Research
"This book is the first to look seriously and carefully at the interrelationships of intuition, creativity, and other 'psychic' events, subjects totally ignored by mainstream science but vital to every thinking human. An important book for laymen and professionals."-
Dr. Edgar Mitchell, scientist and former astronaut
"A comprehensive, probing look at a subject that has puzzled us all for centuries."-
Glen Evans, Greenwich Times
Customer Reviews:
A front runner.......2007-06-25
The first edition of this book was 1990 (second in 1996) before the current wave of books on intuition/psi and mind/body science was on the horizon. At that time, Nadel had been "exploring intuition, both personally and professionally" for fifteen years. Nadel was therefore one of the pioneers in this subject. That her work is still relevant today says something of its timeless quality.
What is not shown in Amazon's "Search Inside" feature of the latest edition is the preface in which Laurie Nadel describes the pivotal experience that began all this: she had travelled to San Fransisco to look for work, in 1975: She had never been there before but there was no place to stop and ask for directions. "Something" told her which turnings to take - left or right - at each intersection. After about twenty minutes she slammed on the brakes, questioning her sanity - only to realise that the offices she was looking for were only several buildings away. There was no "logical" explanation for this.
Not only did this incident inspire me to experiment for myself, I also very much liked the balance of the "rational and intuitive" that Nadel encourages. It's therefore great to see an updated edition of this book.
Nadel gives practical exercises and suggestions for explorations that are both creative and down-to-earth. This is particularly useful; although there are books now that describe recent research into the power of "non-local" mind, readers will want to know how to apply these new discoveries in their personal lives - and nothing facy or time-consuming. No special techniques, either.
Authors published recently such as Lynne McTaggart (The Intention Experiment) Bruce Lipton (The Biology of Belief) and Dawson Church (The Genie in Your Genes) inspire us with reports of incredible discoveries, and suggest special ways of drawing on our new-found mind powers. However, Laurie Nadel brings an everyday, practical approach to the whole subject that is refreshing and helpful.
Certainly, authors like Dawson Church stun us with reports that a group of people could "unwind" (activate) a sample of DNA at a distance of a 1/2 mile. I will continue to refer to his book (and other authors) for inspiration, but I have returned to Laurie Nadel's "Sixth Sense" for a practical, everyday approach.
After the initial euphoria of "The Secret" we need something as pragmatic as "The Sixth Sense." Particularly helpful if you have, like many others, had your own intuitive experiences and didn't know what to do with them.
Sixth Sense: Unlocking Your Ultimate Mind Power.......2007-05-13
This is the must have ultimate guide to your sixth sense! I love this book!
Cultivating Wisdom from another source.......2007-03-19
Demystify the intuitive capacity innate in human brains, understand psychic phenomenon, get command of it, discipline it, and choose what you want to focus on. The sixth sense is real but it isn't woo-woo or fantasy either. Understand the difference between sixth sense and your psyche shadow to stay clear and intuitively on. A great book on the phenomenon that isn't a phenomenon at all ... just every person's natural inheritance.
Right-Brainers AND Left-Brainers Rejoice!.......2007-02-22
There is something for everyone in the pages of Laurie Nadel's, "Sixth Sense". Whether you want to locate, define or defend your intuition, this book is the way. I loved learning the science behind my thoughts and feelings.
Trust Yourself. Listen to Yourself........2007-01-29
After reading this book you will understand WHY you should trust your instincts. You will learn ways to listen more carefully to and heed your gut feelings.
If you already do these things, this book will reinforce and enhance everything you already know about having a sixth sense. If you wish to increase the ability to hear inside yourself, this book will guide you.
Laurie Nadel has put into words what most of us know is inside of us. She helps us recognize the gift each of us have if we will just listen.

Good info on form for two exercises.......2007-08-10
This book gives good descriptions of how to perform the deadlift and the side press. I learned how to deadlift from this book, and a competitive powerlifter in my gym complimented me on my form. (That made my day.) The sections on "hyperirradiation" and breathing techniques are also helpful, and the side press is a good exercise with which to practice them. I find that I can side press an Olympic bar only if I use these techniques.
I can't give this book five stars because the writing style is obnoxious. Tsatsouline is often trying to sell you his other books and products, not only with ads at the back of the book, but in the text of the book itself. An example, on page 62: "Check out 'Beyond Crunches.' In the back of the book, you can order my books and videos. Or else." Also, the "evil Russian" gimmick sometimes pushes the boundaries of good taste. For instance, on p. 28, Tsatsouline writes, "To get strong and hard without getting big--train heavy but do not do many sets. Thus spake Comrade Stalin." I do not want to take strength training advice from one of the greatest villains of the 20th century.
As many of the reviews here have pointed out, the program described in this book is primarily for people who want to gain strength without gaining size. If your primary goal is strength but you're not opposed to getting bigger muscles, you might be happier with Starting Strength. It has some features in common with PTTP: emphasis on compound movements, preference for five-rep sets, and detailed instructions on proper form. It covers five lifts, not just two. It recommends somewhat less frequency (3x / week) and somewhat higher volume (three exercises per session, three work sets on most exercises, thorough warm-up). And the writing style is much better.
very little factual information.......2007-07-27
Pavel is obviously a great athlete, however his books are filled with very little information about anatomy and physiology, and could be condensed into perhaps 10 pages. The Dragon Door marketing machine pushes these type of publications and kettlebells as a fitness revolution. Save your money, instead look at Power of 10, for example, or Ready Set Go Synergy Fitness, which are filled with excellent routines and theory. I own 4 of Pavel's titles and they are essentially empty pages.
A great book.......2007-07-25
Whether you are an experienced weight lifter or not. His advice on the types of lifts you should perform, and those you should avoid, is dead on. His concepts of the use of tension in lifts is something I had never read about until I read this book. He gives good advice on how to use cycling to make gains. Simple workout, easy to follow, and the concepts can be applied to other excercises. The only real downside is that it is very difficult to learn how to do the lifts properly from the book. If you're an experienced weight-lifter you may already know how to deadlift and may be able to figure out the lifts on your own, but if you're new or inexperienced, you'll need to get someone to show you or buy the companion DVD. He has a very entertaining writing style, even if he has the tendency to exagerate. Most of the "Russian Secrets" aren't either. Cycling is not a new concept, used only be eastern bloc supermen, nor is heavy weights at low reps ground breaking. Both have been used by western and eastern lifters alike for who know's how long. The tension stuff is new though, at least to me.
Amusing and refreshing.......2007-07-03
I liked Pavel's book - humorous at times, plenty of anecdotes, and yet a straightforward approach to training that makes the complicated "Men's Health"-type workouts seem even sillier than they already are. It's not the only book you'll ever need to get strong, but in my opinion it's a must-read for those interested in effectively training towards greater strength.
yawn.......2007-02-11
same old pavel..too much advertising hype for his own books, too much laboured Russian humour(?), and not enough meat.There are no strength secrets. Just lift heavier and heavier weights, you will get stronger. Some secret. Is this man built?

Excellent.......2007-10-17
"Life" by Lauren Tratar is an excellent book that delves into some astonishing information about the nature of personal reality, negative energy vortex, adamantine particles, and magnetic evidence. This is a very valuable workbook and guide. Firstly the reader explores their present beliefs, and then identifies what is wanted out of life, and finally how to use the law of attraction to manifest what you really want.
Also included are some extremely vlauable tools to guide you back on your path if you've lost your way.
A must read for anyone who is serious about personal self development work.
Some more powerful books that I recommend are:
The Astonishing Power of Emotions
Nexus: A Neo Novel
Call in the Geek Squad.......2007-09-28
Purporting to unveil the secret behind The Secret this book is a confused mish-mash New Age philosophy and pop psychology.
On the positive side, this book is physically quite attractive. The binder and section dividers feature lovely photographs and I thought the format was promising. The problem, however is in the contents. The author's style is clumsily self-conscious and she doesn't have an original idea.(In all fairness, there is not much new on the Law of Attraction. The trick is in a fresh presentation.) The book is packed with quotations of other people's works and song lyrics. Apparently, the author once ordered one book and another, a book of inspirational quotations, came instead She found this book wonderfully inspirational and each chapter features not just one or two quotes, but sometimes pages of them. Sorry, if I wanted to read Conversations with God I, II and III, The Nature of Personal Reality or any of the others she relies on, I would not have been reading her book. This over reliance on quotes is disruptive and contributes to the careful, term paperish effect.
This book quickly loses focus, jumping wildly from a clunky law of attraction formula to a recitation of the author's traumatic and abusive childhood and journey through different recovery modalities. While I credit her for addressing these challenges, it reads like a bad episode of Dr. Phil. It is somewhat troubling that she disparages the classic twelve step method as it does not fit within the precepts of her message.
The author refers to her higher self as "Angel". If you subscribe to the traditional definition of angels as being messengers of God, you will find his usage jarring.
If you are interested in the law of Attraction, there are many fine books that present it in an accessible manner. You can't go wrong with the classic Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder. The Abraham -Hicks materials provide a contemporary look at the law of attraction as do the Attractor Factor by Joe Vitale and Lynne Grabhorn's Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting. Michale Losier's Law of Attraction workbook is simple but effective while The Sedona Method and Larry Crane's Abundance Course are superb tutorials on releasing. If you opt for this offering you will receive a really neat binder and a headache.

Life a Complete Operating Manual.......2007-01-29
I am not quite done with this book because I am savoring every morsel. This book is what I needed to explain and guide what I have felt for years. I love the writing style of this author because it is easy to understand and her humor is exquisite. I recommend this book highly but to be enjoyable it must be read with an open mind.
Absolutely DIVINE!.......2002-02-09
I am a Metaphysician and an avid Law of Attraction (LOA) worker. One of my favorite things to do is continuously reveal to myself *evidence* of how Great Things Really Are. Lauren's book is an SPARKLING JEWEL! I totally adore how she has collected quotes & passages from throughout the ages from a huge assortment of Wise Voices and I definitely appreciate her research format of actually citing her sources (so often missing or incomplete in others' works). Her material is accurate, timely, and perfectly applicable - especially so in our current world situation. Read this book and drink from the Well of Wellbeingness. Your soul will thank you, your heart will rejoice, and your mind will have something very tangible to work with. The best part? You'll discover that your Sacred Imagination is finally free to do its thing: Make YOUR Personal Universe/Reality Delicously FUN! This is THE BOOK to savor for Deliberate Creators Everywhere :) I cannot say enough Good Things about this wonderful work. Lauren, you've made Life Easier and that's Really Fantastic!
Book Description
“There are beautiful and wild forces within us.” With these words the mystic, St. Francis, described what ancient traditions believed was the most powerful force in the universe—the power of prayer. For more than 20 years,
Gregg Braden, the best-selling author of The God Code, has searched for evidence of a forgotten form of prayer that was lost to the West following the Biblical edits of the early Christian Church. In the 1990s, he found and documented this form of prayer still being used in the remote monasteries of central Tibet. He also found it practiced in sacred rites throughout the high deserts of the American Southwest.
In Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer, Braden begins by describing this ancient form of prayer that has no words, or outward expressions. Then for the first time in print, he leads us on a journey exploring what our most intimate experiences tell us about our deepest beliefs. Through case histories and his personal sharing, Braden explores the wisdom of these timeless secrets, and the power that awaits each of us, just beyond our deepest hurt!

Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer.......2007-07-03
This is a permanent addition to my library. Mr. Braden's writing is engaging, inclusive and uplifting. While I did not want the book to end, I am compelled to reread it over and again. And the physical qualities of the book itself are tactile and visual encouragements to pick it up and page through many passages. In a word, inspiring.
Great!.......2007-05-07
This book is very artfully done, makes an excellent gift. He describes the "lost" wisdom in a very sacred way, compared to the - you want to get rich approach - of The Secret.
Give this to your friends.......2007-03-12
This book thoroughly confirmed my belief that our thoughts and attitudes influence and even change our world. It is beautifully explained, and illustrated for me how our preconceived ideas often block us from real perceptions of people and things as they are. To someone on a soul-searching journey to find the eternal answers of who we are, and why we are here, this book may be an AHA!moment revelation. Like all of Gregg Braden's books, it is written in an elegant, simple style, and every word resonates with truth.
What a blessing!!.......2007-03-11
Like all of Greg Braden's books - a true blessing in my life. What I enjoy most about Greg's books is the practicality of his spirituality and how he makes us practical in what spirituality has to offer anyone who wants its benefits in their lives. An enlightening read. indeed.
He's On To Something.......2007-02-22
I finished this book today, and am left with the feeling that there well may be something profoundly powerful about what he is saying here. If anything, it may be dismissed because it is so seemingly simple! We humans tend to like to complicate things. So for me now, it's practise, practise... I can almost feel what this is already -- maybe I'm just a little afraid to try it. I was very intrigued by the idea of not just doing prayer at a proscribed time, but all the time, all day, is your prayer. That's a challenge for focus and transformation if ever there was one.
The book is certainly a beautiful thing visually as well, the images for me served to heighten my feeling of connection to humanity's spiritual journey through eons of our history. This leads to my one complaint, which is that Braden's prose did not equal the poetry of the images, so the book felt imbalanced in that sense. In all though, what he is saying is certainly worth contemplating, and trying.
