Customer Reviews

This is not a book of answers

I feel there is a lot to be gained from reading this book - slowly, and then sometime later having a go at it again. However, it will probably be very off-putting in the extreme to people seeking answers, most especially "spiritual" answers. Toni Packer doesn't give any. The book is about listening and questioning. If a person is willing to start there, which for most of us means starting all over again, then I would say that it would be a wise purchase. If you want at the end of the book to close it, having found The Answer or Answers, it will be an unsatisfactory purchase.

something real in a universe of frauds

just thinking about "pushing your own barrow", like its only half, you need to be aware of how instrumental it is with others or you get slaughtered. Religious(or similar) groups seem to utilise this "self kneecapping" in ways that are quite destructive to individuals.....i guess this is illustrative.well, i took a lot from the book, its slow reading, needs to be worked through, nothing is perfect, subtle flaws will be imbibed along with the sense, but that appears to be par for the course in this game, everyone has ten years to spare...
