Rating:  Summary: Trace your footsteps back... Review: * This book was not intended to "entertain" you. Before you read this book and place your own "judgment", I would suggest contemplating HOW you stumbled onto this book.Trace your footsteps back... If a series of coincidences and seemingly unrelated events unpredictably lead you to this book, buy it, read it, become it. You are ready. It will shift you like you cannot possibly imagine.
Rating:  Summary: Understanding _before_ power - at least a start Review: / I have some patience with a writer who wishes us to understand and empathise _before_ we start trying to wield power. Drunvalo has an excellent-sounding name for this business (!), but readers who dare to start with changing themselves first could do worse than follow his suggestions. Geometry and mathematics _are_ sacred of course, and Mr Melchizedek could do some good here. Aimed, I could hope, at a different kind of reader from the foolhardy Egyptian sorcerers' apprentices and kabbalistic mystics of "silence", who make the hairs stand up on the backs of our necks, at least speaking for myself.
Rating:  Summary: Fascinating, juicy Review: A deep look at all the mysteries of life and the universe...at least some juicy bits. Great source of explanations, theories, to mentally chew on, even if they don't make sense or i agree with. Ties together a lot of different threads. So i rate this book high for philosophical/metaphysical variety, in depth explanation of certain ideas, profundity, and blending reasoned and researched material with more speculative stuff. But i stop short of 5 stars because parts of the book are sloppy, sometimes having a quickly-thrown-together feel.
Rating:  Summary: Another dimesional book Review: A walk in from the 12th dimension. A walk through the 13th dimension. Like the reader before not betting her life on his dimesional theory, neither would I. The postulated 10-26 dimensions exist in string theory and are in the vast size of 10 to the negative 33 centimeter. Not too big. They are often measured in billionths of a second in size - imagine that. Another walk through the esoteric, in which the writer plays on peoples yearning to find meaning. I liked it, but wouldn't recommend it for someone who is lost spiritually or looking for meaning in their life. I would recommend it to someone who likes alternate theories whether they can be proven or even validated... or not.
Rating:  Summary: Flower of Life Review - by Mari from Connecticut Review: After reading The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life Book - Volume I, I was able to add more pieces to the great puzzle of life. Drunvalo takes difficult topics and explains them clearly. He gives his audience much to think about. I have seen him speak on two occasions and found him to be kind, clear and very informative. He is not arrogant as one reviewer said. He meets with people all over the world and tells you of the latest discoveries. He has studied physics and the arts which gives a balance you don't often see. The book shows many drawings of sacred geometry, the MerKaBa and pictures of the sacred sites and artifacts along with his explanations. Book II will be out soon and I am looking forward to purchasing it. If you're a serious seeker of the mysteries of life, read his books.
Rating:  Summary: The Need for References Review: All of us who subscribe to this type of imaginative spirituality are seekers of a higher meaning. Because of this we need to protect ourselves from creative businessmen who mock truth and take advantage of our need for an understanding of our universe in order to make money. To be balanced is to be whole, and so to be without any skepticism whatsoever is just as bad as being overly skeptical to the point of being closed-minded. Drunvalo is a fiction writer. Some readers will not want to believe this, and so will not try to follow his references and will simply accept what he writes. If you really believe Drunvalo, try to make yourself believe even more by digging up his references. See where they take you. Or just ignore this critique and go on believing blindly. At least you will be happy.
Rating:  Summary: A three time read! Review: As an avid reader of diverse subject matters, I found this book riveting. In fact, have just re-read it after several months. No, there may be little proof for many of his theories other than that of the reader's gut experience. (My gut says yes, yes, yes.) Yet, all of my reading (some of which he concisely covered) ties together in fascinating ways with this information. As with most metaphysical experience, you may not be able to prove it, but can you DISprove it? Drunvaloe's style is conversational while interlacing vast stores of knowledge and experience into fascinating, educational and digestible form. Can't wait to receive Volume two.
Rating:  Summary: Another perspective on reality Review: As can be seen by the mitigated reviews of volumes I and II, reviews merely reflect what the readers were expecting from reading the book. As for all spiritual messages, the way one feels towards some message only reflects what one has found in it compared to one expected from finding in it. Everything already lies within yourself, so reading is just like a mirror that reflects what lies within you, but through the help of someone else's experience. If you're open to another way of seeing the world, you'll find something in these books. If you're not ready to try to understand the writer's viewpoint, then it is better not to open these books, and this is true for anything you read, be it spiritual, religious, philosophy, scientific,... Living is an internal experience, the outside world is what you want it to be. If you take it as a friend and teacher, you'll learn from it, if seen as an enemy, then you'll have to fight. It is up to you to decide which way you want to go. Are you ready to accept the viewpoint of others or do you think you already hold the truth ? To make things clear, these books (vols. I and II) provide a nice perspective on the nature of reality, by insisting on the geometrical nature of the world and the relationships between several planes of reality. There are other perspectives, any one being as right as another according to its proper assumptions. If you thing this view might help you, then read it.
Rating:  Summary: On the right track Review: As Pythagoras once said, "all truth may be found in numbers," there is much knowledge in sacred geometry. Here, Drunvalo has much to offer. Personally, I don't understand a walk in from the 13th dimension. I couldn't bet my life on knowing what the 6th through 12th were about. But the Flower of Life is a self explanatory symbol for global transformation. The next step beyond Drunvalo is a book called LightShift 2000: Let's Turn on the Light of the World. Here it maps out a formula of visionary activism for personal and global upliftment which is happening all over the world. Check it out. I liked this book, but I would give more credibility to the material if the source was showed more humility and mortality.
