Rating: Summary: "This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds." Review: It is always nice to find someone out there that thinks the same way you do, however express it much better.In "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success", by Deepak Chopra, he describes the fundamental principles of the universe and how we as part of the universe can be successful. Throughout the book he has to slow sown and explain how he is using many of the words as we usually give them different meaning. Then there are a few times that he has to turn to Indian words instead of making up new ones. Many say he is based in Ancient Vedic concepts yet if you did not know of them you would relies these are concepts of the now. He hits the deck running with this book so if you have not been exposed to these concepts before you may need to re-read the book several times. And this book was not meant to jus be read you need to practice the concepts to understand them. This book is based on "Creating Affluence" and does not have the size to contain a lot of background reasoning for drawing conclusions. Your practice off the laws will do that for you. The concepts are too simple to give the titles any meaning however here they are. 1.The Law of Pure The source of all creation is pure consciousness... 2.The Law of Giving The universe operates through dynamic exchange... 3.The Law of "Karma" or Cause and Effect Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind... 4.The Law of Least Effort Nature's intelligence functions with effortless ease... 5.The Law of Intention and Desire Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment... 6.The law of Detachment In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty... 7.The law of "Dharma" or Purpose in life Everyone has a purpose in life... On a personal note it is so eerie that many of the things he talks about especially in the seventh law was the way me ad my siblings were raised. However I was 20 years old before cutting throw my first Veda Be sure to also listen to the audio to here how he emphasizes.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Review: It is hard to explain why this book is so good. In short it tells you what you want to know in a very simple and nice manner. Its not just a guide but also an eye opener. Great book, i really recommend it to anyone who has compelling dreams from their hearts that they wish to fulfill. I read the book called 'The Alchemist' before The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. The Alchemist is like an example describing the guidelines this book gives. I would strongly suggest reading both.
Rating: Summary: "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success"---- " revisited" Review: Knowing how to be spiritual is going to be our quest, for our future understanding depends on it. It's going back to our roots so to speak...from where we came...remember? If "Healing Society" by Dr Seung Heun Lee requests a spiritual awakening to accomplish our goal of "playing well together" to accomplish our higher purpose of peace on earth... who better than a wise and compassionate teacher, we know as Deepak Chopra, to tell and show us how to be this? Deepak generously leads us to a beautiful place where all we have to do is "be." Spirit is what we are... and love is who we are... and where we come from and then return to. What more can we desire? Maybe to revisit that perfect state from which we came,perhaps? Maybe everything is possible and simple. Maybe we should return to our innocence. In innocence we are fearless in our thoughts and actions...totally in tune with our inner self. Let's be beautiful together...in spirit shared from our hearts where God lives. Read or reread "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of your Dreams and Deepak will give you the gift of your inner you...your "self"...dare to be beautiful!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Book! True Success has Nothing to do with Money! Review: This book is not for the closed minded materialistic person whose only measure of success is the amount of material possessions he/she has. This book is also not for closed minded individuals who are behind in their spiritual evolution that they can't see beyond the "crude matter" of our bodies and the physical world. This book is for those open-minded individuals who want to live happy lives from a higher perspective. A perspective which goes far beyond the material dictates of our society and the dogmatic dictates of organized religions. True success is being able to be thankful for what you have and accomplishing those things which you set your mind and effort to. When you live without attachment, you know from a higher perspective that the final outcome will be to your benefit, even if the immediate outcome isn't what you want. True success is living a life of balance and harmony. This book's true message is about living in balance and from a higher perspective where the only limits you have are set by yourself.
Rating: Summary: Just excellent Review: This book is short and to the point. It gives the reader an insight into the many aspects of the spiritual life, and now that effects our life here on earth. I really enjoyed this book, and it just helped me remember the things that I commonly forget. A great read for anyone wanting to regain some spiritual knowledge.
