Empower yourself with The Power of I AM

The Power of I AM is wonderful! Mr. Taylor shares easy to learn tools and techniques to empower everyone to create a positive, healthy relationship with themselves and with others. Mr. Taylor shares personal stories on developing inner strength to successfully navigate all aspects of life. By using the tools and techniques in The Power of I AM, I was able to set boundaries with family members, with men who wanted more from me than I wanted to give, I diffused negative situations and gained strength from hostile situations. I have created positive, respectful, healthy relationships from using the tools and techniques in The Power of I AM. The Power of I AM will empower you to confidently handle all people and situations that arise in daily life and to rely on yourself and trust yourself to make decisions that are right for you. I highly recommend The Power of I AM by John Maxwell Taylor.

Read this book and use the tools John provides.

This book is a "must" for every spiritual traveler on the road to enlightenment. In the "Power of I Am," John Maxwell Taylor brings the mysterious into a more simple and comprehensible field of awareness. For the new and fragile student, he provides practical tools to safeguard the tender soul from the manipulations of the less than honorable. For professional teachers, ministers and other more seasoned travelers on the spiritual path, he provides simple methods that anyone can use to anchor oneself in the present, even in the midst of chaos. He has clearly traveled this path personally, and reveals how he has used the tools he presents to re-direct energy into positive end result. He helps one stay centered and connected to the Source of Life without being fru-fru about it. John has earned the right to teach these awareness' with the daily spiritual work he has been doing for decades. I have known John for over 10 years, and I have observed some of his journey of wisdom and growth into a very compassionate man who values wholeness, transformation and paying attention to what matters most in human interactions. Read this book and perhaps it will help you find the Joy of Being the Love that "I Am." Rev. Barbara Walley www.sacred-threads.org

Fascinating and useful

The author offers not only fascinating stories about interpersonal conflicts. He offers practical suggestions on how to act in such conflicts and at other times. I haven't yet made habits based on anywhere near all his suggestions, but what I have tried has been helpful. I have read or perused many books on the subjects the author covers, but never have seen a more remarkable combination of ideas. Especially interesting are his ideas about our eyes.

Essoteric learn put into practice...

A lot of reviews get written by friends as a favor to the author - they of course never admit it! I am happy to admit I've known the author for over 25 years and watched him spend decades intensely pursuing his spiritual growth in meditation and study. While many spiritual seeker seek enlightenment, I have seen few actually implement real change in their lives - here and now. John Taylor slugged it out over the years - this is a rare author who lives what he writes. The techniques and insights in The Power of I Am - are hard earned, refined to specificity, and successfully integrated into the author's life - especially in his personal relationships. John has it wired. The techniques he suggests in the book work- read it, do them! The reviewer who complains that the author is always talking about himself is missing the point - unlike so many 'new age' psychological babble books that taste great by appeasing our need to believe happiness is just around the corner, but have little practical nutritional value as to how to achieve it, the Power of I Am, is packed with practical real world advice on how one person successfully implemented esoteric spiritual principles into his daily life and experience d psychological wholeness - here and now.

Getting Connected

The old proverb 'Charity begins at home' gets a very clear meaning in John Maxwell Taylor's book. Standard interpretation from habit is: we should love those in our home: parents, brothers, sisters, children, village, country, mankind etc... John Maxwell's version is: to love, we need to be able, which in other words is what the book and the power is all about - to be. To be connected to anything, be it a table, stone, tree, animal or a human being, we need first to get connected to ourselves, to the I am - the other connections will follow as the subtitle to the books also suggests: "Creating a New World of Enlightened Personal Interaction". This is the message of the book and John Maxwell hammers (no connection to the Beatles song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer") it home in all the possible and impossible human situations that he has found in his own life. In other words the book is written out of personal experience and the writer knows what he is talking about. This he also makes clear to the reader and is fully justified in doing so! For me this book is a forerunner - a pioneer work in putting spiritual work into practice in daily life in concrete and often acute situations. Sometimes this process is also called 'healing', becoming whole, and acting from the whole being, not just a tiny part.
