This book is highly informative, revelatory and scientific. The author begins by explaining that the Galactic Heart sends out shock waves, (like a Cosmic heartbeat), which the Great Spirit uses to carry out Its divine Purpose of synthesis, alignment and integration. These shock waves are transmitted to our Zodiac through Its Heart to the Heart of our Sun, which in turn transmits these shocks to our earth. The author explains that these powerful shocks of Cosmic energy can bring about either positive or negative results depending upon how humanity either responds or reacts; that these shocks create crises, friction and change. "Those who respond to shocks from the Cosmic Heart expand their consciousness, take an initiation, and are promoted to higher responsibilities and duties. Those who react to these shocks or cannot register them physically, emotionally or mentally, create social disturbances and upheavals-'' It is how humanity responds or reacts to these energies which will determine our future and the future of our planet. Throughout this book the author seems to be saying, "Wake up, humanity! Time is running out, not just for humanity, but for our planet and all life upon it." He tells us that the year 2000 will bring another powerful Cosmic shock wave and that we should be preparing for it, individually and collectively, by striving to eliminate selfishness, greed, anger, fear, hatred, jealousy, revenge, vanity, ego, and the desire for war and egression. Above all, the author stresses ONENESS; that we are not 'separate', but ONE with ALL Life, not just on earth, but throughout Cosmos, each unit a part of a Greater Life or Being. Torkom Saraydarian states that, "This moment in the history of humanity is a time when we are either going to commit suicide or enter into a superior state of culture and civilization. If humanity wants to live, it can no longer use the tools of destruction." He admonishes us to express more love for our neighbor than ourselves, to practice selfless service and sacrifice, to manifest love in all our relationships, and to practice and think UNITY. One of the most wonderful things about this book is its clarity; and the way the author clearly defines meanings, in particular, of crises. What they are, how they are brought about, the different kinds of crises and WHY they happen. On page 113 the various kinds of crises are particularly clarified and explained. After reading this remarkable book, one wishes that its message, its wisdom, its admonitions, could be transmitted throughout the world to lift all of humanity's consciousness to a higher level of awareness and an understanding of our essential ONENESS.
Highly informative

Perhaps, never before has there been so much esoteric wisdom contained in one book dedicated to the aspirant on the Path to discipleship. It is filled with beauty, goodness, truth, warnings, suggestions, wise ad- vice and counsel for those truly seeking. There is a lifetime of study here, as well as spiritual experience and wisdom the author, Torkom Saraydarian, shares with his reader/students. The book has many interesting definitions of what a disciple really is. Take this one for instance: "The new-age disciple is an independent human being. He initiates his own labor, his own tasks; he determines the field of his own responsibility-" The author further says, "New-age disciples are not trapped in any organization, church, or group. They belong to the world, and they think in terms of the interests of the world. This inclusiveness is so strong in their hearts that it urges them to be somebody to be able to satisfy that urge-" In the heart of a disciple, "there is only one great goal in mind: TO HELP SAVE HUMANITY-" We are told that a disciple cooperates with the Plan of the Great Ones as he understands it and can serve it. Three main aspects of the Plan are given in the book. They are a. to increase light and understanding in the world, b. to increase love, right human relations, goodwill and inclusiveness, and c. to create the urge to perfection in others and in your own Self-" Condensed in this book from the Ancient Wisdom Teachings, handed down from Teacher -to student, are rules for aspirants toward discipleship, rules for advanced disciples, the duties and tasks of a disciple are enumerated, warnings about glamours and illusions are stated, watchful- ness is explained and fifteen points are given to help the aspiring disciple advance on the path of discipleship. The author tells us WHY we are here in very concise language, He says: "We are here on Earth to enter the path of perfection. We are here on Earth to finish our schooling with honor. We are here to unfold the beauty that exists within our Core. We are here to establish greater communications with the higher forces of Nature. We are here to create human unity. We are here to master time, space, matter, and death. We are here to release the light in our Core. We are here to learn the value of life and how to continue to live in higher spheres consciously. These are our main lessons, if we do not learn them, we will perpetuate suffering, pain, again and again, in the Subtle World and on Earth." Every chapter in this book is a CHALLANGE for DISCIPLESHIP. To those truly seeking to walk the path of discipleship, this book is an inspira- tion, is encouraging, is enlightening, is a GUIDE, throwing Light upon the aspirant's Way, enabling him to avoid serious pitfalls, and/or to a- rise from failures, striving on with renewed courage toward success. It is 'as if' the Guiding Hand of one's Solar Angel, one's Teacher and Masters all Helping the strivi
