Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia- How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings

5 stars (Pronoia) - Amazing. I was just thinking the same thoughts! Actually quite a bit of it makes a lot of sense. There is a bit of "weirdness' to it, but since I'm a bit weird myself, I kind of like it. I'm recommending it to a few select friends, folks that are as "strange and wonderful" as I am. 5 stars (Pronoia and me) - Every time I pick up this book and start to read, my mood changes. I can be a gloomy guss at times and these wise words pull me right out of the shadows. I begin to feel lighter and less worried about the state of the world. I feel hope and maybe even start to hum a ditty. That's enough for me to recommend this book to you. Love to you all, tim 5 stars (Give Me More) - This is the perfect book to give as a gift, to your friends, enemies, family, and don't forget yourself. Full of stuff to make you feel good to be you now as you read the contemporary anecdotes that are consistently smart and constantly full of surprises. Of course, anyone who knows Rob Brezsny's work doesn't need to be convinced at all. Rob Brezsny, if you're reading this, I love you. Thank you for being born. ...

The Power of Intention

5 stars (really meaningful book) - I absolutely loved this book. It was meaningful and really tied together for me many of the disparate ideas of religion and metaphysics. Accessible and a keeper. 3 stars (Read God Without Religion Instead) - I don't know, folks. Dyer certainly had a lot of good intentions in writing this book, and his love of people shines through. I can't even say I disagree with anything he says implicitely. The problem is first that nothing he says is new. He creates new words to describe old things, but no new concepts or new thoughts or ideas in the mind of the reader. And creating a new lexicon is not what the world needs today. Also, his methods, on both a practical and theoretical level, of affirmation are not as scientific as other methods presented by other authors. This leads me to why I suggest reading God Without Religion instead. All of the Power of Intention, vastly improved, can fit in one section of one chapter of God Without Religion. It is the greatest book not only on spirituality, but human existence that I, and many others I am meeting, have ever read. It has what so many books, including Dyer's, lacks: new knowledge. Read it and find out for yourself. It will take you places you've never been. And on the subject of affirmation, which God Without Religion presents in the broader context of world religions, miracles and politics, and the human mind and the way the cosmos works, while Dyer advises us to "intend" things for our future, God Without Religion undermines the idea of division of time, pointing out that affirmations work best when they are admitted to be about the present. Instead of simply promoting positive thinking, you are shown how to affirm here and now whatever you think you are only going to get in the future, regardless of any sensory evidence to the contrary that your affirmation is not actualized. In other words, you will never "get better" or "be successful." You are successful and well now, or never....

The Disappearance of the Universe- Straight Talk About Illusions- Past Lives- Religion- Sex- Politic

5 stars (The Best) - From my experience I would sincerely say that this is not only the best book ever written about "A Course in Miracles" but one of the best spiritual books EVER written. This is because it does the seemingly impossible. It makes the heretofore arcane "A Course in Miracles" completely understandable to both the novice and the experienced student by bringing it into the vernacular. What was confusing before is now crystal clear. Writers have been trying to do that for 30 years, but this book is the first to really succeed. Second, it is of great value to those who aren't interested in A Course in Miracles by setting the record straight about Jesus, who never intended to start a religion, and making universal spiritual truths more clear for everyone. The Disappearance of the Universe talks the way that people really talk, and in doing so brings everyone a message that can't be missed - if you're ready for it. 1 stars (Should be called the "Book of Lies and Deceptions") - Arten pg. 55: "What if you don't try to convince people to believe anything? Start writing it like it's just a story - as though you made it up. Then tell people they made you up. It's all made up. That's the point, my brother." Got through 100 pages before I decided not to waste any more of my time. This book is full of contradictions, the writing is crude, the authors attitude towards heavenly messengers is ridiculous. How many people on earth if they TRULY had heavenly messengers pop out of thin air would talk to them as crudely as Gary does. Gary's belief that he's witty and humorous is the illusion. After 100 pages I was still waiting to find something NEW and enlightening. There is nothing new or enlightening here. 5 stars (Wonderful Book of Ideas) - When reading this book, I suspended judgment whether it was a "true" book, or pure fiction. I also did not care where the ideas came from. Perhaps they were channeled. Perhaps not. Perhaps all great work is channeled. In t...
