For anyone that has not heard of this book, I would say go to your local book store and pick up a copy, you will not regret it. If you are seeking answers and knowledge that you can use in everyday life, this series of books is for you. What I found in the pages was eternal knowledge that I already knew existed inside of me, but it was put into simpler form. Not it may books such clarity can be found, as well as depth.
The first book deals with the struggles of a young gymnast, going through life’s challenges. At a certain point of his life, he meets an old man that helps this young man find out who he really is, and to start truly living. The second book deals with the continuing self-discovery of the not so young any more man. The main character travels around the world, in an attempt to find out more about himself. The third book talks about who this mysterious teacher is and where he came from. I have not read the third book yet, still taking in what I discovered about myself with the help of the first two books. I have also recently seen the movie that was based on the first book. Considerable parts of what made the book wonderful were taken out of the movie, but the message remained unharmed. Overall, I recommend the DVD, but it is not a substitute to the book.
Some advice from a person that strives to better himself every day, if the book doesn’t feel right to you, or you sense that there is inner resistance to the messages it contains, put the book down and read something else until you get drawn to the book again, or not. The vessel that revelation comes in matters not, it is what you hear and incorporate into your being that ultimately matters.
Thumbs way up for all the books and the DVD.
