Comprihensive answer to what a human is

I welcome you, Friend, and let the Light be with you on your way.This book became my revelation. In it I found all final answers to my quest to find answers to what is life, what is death, what is a human being, what is purpose of life, what is Universe, etc., etc. This book became my true and only Bible in the meaning of true spiritual and life guidance. This book is allinclusive for all sciences and religions.It is not easy to read. One may begin with What Dreams May Come and then switch to The Path (both are by Richartd Matheson). Or begin with Man Woman and Child by Percival. But for those who seek compendium of knowledge and FULL answers, Thinking and Destiny will become irreplaceable...

Incomparable

There must be others like me, who, even as children realized that something was wrong with the world. Things were not right, and worse, the explanations given for the questions we raised were unsatisfying, if not outright lies. Becoming an adult only magnified the distance between what was and what we thought should be. This book explains as none other, and I think I have read them all, what life is and what it is not. The difficult truths Percival reveals are often what we might have feared but dared not think: we alone are responsible for our lives. This is tough stuff, and Percival's solutions to discovering who and what we are are enough to frighten away the casual pop seeker who thinks he is enlightened already. But for the rare individual who is weary of the incessant emptiness of life, Thinking and Destiny is a gem beyond price.

A Lifetime Companion

Percival's "Thinking and Destiny" should end any serious seeker's search for accurate written information about life. The author demonstrates that he knows whereof he speaks. There is no fuzzy religious language and no speculations. Utterly unique in this genre, Percival has written what he knows, and he knows a great deal -- certainly more than any other known author. If you wonder about who you are, why you are here, the nature of the universe or the meaning of life then Percival will not let you down. Especially interesting are his numerous explanations that clarify such mysterious topics as original sin, immaculate conception, the fall of man and the reason for the sexes. His answers to these questions are lucid, authoritative and surprising. The road ahead for each thinking person is made plain and his exposition of The Great Way ranks as the best ever written. Dense with details and clearly presented, like all great work Percival reduces his tome to principles that any sincere person can understand and do. One thing for sure: after reading "Thinking and Destiny" you will have set into motion the thoughts that will propel you toward your real future. Be prepared! I would also seek out and study the work of Djwhal Khul, published by the Lucis Trust, and Rudolf Steiner, all easily available.

A master work in it's field

A book written in the 1920's, judged to be too radical for the times it was introduced is now here for a more open era. Thinking and Destiny has past the test of time, a reading that seems just as fresh as if it were printed yesterday. A master work in it's field, the book offers amazing insights into the subject of man, and his relationship to the universe around him. Clearly written, reasonable, most parts understandable, a full head and shoulders above most in the genre. Once read, the book will change the view point of many hardcore fundamentalist. The author, H.W.Pecival never recieved or seeked any fame or compansation for his work a testimony to his search for truth.

Thinking and Destiny

Thinking and Destiny by H.W. Percival is one of the most remarkable books ever written. It deals with the age-old question, Quo Vadis? Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? He explains how our own thoughts become our destiny, as acts, objects, and events, in our individual lives. That each of us is responsible for these thoughts, and their affects on us and others. Percival shows us that what appears as "chaos" in our daily lives has a purpose and Order which can be seen if we will begin to focus our thinking, and begin Real Thinking, as outlined in his masterpiece. Percival himself acknowledges he is neither and preacher nor a teacher, but presents to us a cosmology based upon Intellingence. A Universe of Order and Purpose. No metaphysical book has ever presented the clear, concise, information that is available in this book. Truly inspired and inspirational
