Summary: Happy Daydreams!
Review: Having read the book several times and done the journeys with the CD, I think that it's an interesting experience. The drumming has the ability to put you into a light trance and you can relax while going into your sacred garden. Nothing really scary has happened to me as I've gone on these trips alone and nothing really dramatic has happened either. it certainly doesn't compare to what supposedly happens on an LSD trip.-- Sorry. I don't get the kind of way out visions that Wesselman gets. After trying the journeys for a month, I think I MAY or MAY NOT be feeling better because of the sessions. I SEEM to be more creative musically, more aware of what is going on of significance in everyday life, a little more energetic at times, (...), and possibly relieved somewhat from a condition I have. Is it the sessions or just the natural flow of events? I don't know. I did not have to go to the lower worlds to find my spirit guides as Wesselman instructs. I found them immediately in the garden. I think I mostly made them up from what I would want them to be, except, heh heh, the Birdman and the Tarzan-like guy with the snake. I also have a nymph, a beautiful woman, a knome, a wizard, Jesus, my oversoul, and a council of elders. I also imagined my dead mother too. I think I'm capable of making this all up from imagination anyway. They mostly work on healing me in some way through light, light balls that I swallow, and water and healing potions. I also have gifts from them that represent goals that I focus on while there. It is easy to hold a vision with the drumming. I can even be interrupted and move back into the vision again relatively quickly. I never really get much verbal council of any significance about, for instance, the purpose of my life--just generalized, cliched, bland stuff that I could have guessed on my own. I never communicate with nature or the elements the way Wesselman does and I'm probably not that interested. The instruction book is short, to the point, informative and easy to read. The sessions are relaxing. Are the visions real or imaginative? Are they profoundly beneficial? At this point, I don't know.

Summary: Working your garden brings growth.
Review: The premise is advancement of course, however the emphasis here is a direct look into the work one needs to perform in order to advance. I found the direction given to be highly sensible and realistic, no matter what your faith foundations are. The entire scope of this book actually fits what most consider acceptable genres, nothing leaps out as being extreme. In all my past readings I have found very few books to be applicable and truly functional, this has worked for me, I believe this is mostly true as I accept the down to Earth reality implied. I suggest another great book to help guide and advance in the spiritual realm, SB 1 or God by Karl Mark Maddox

Summary: You can't help but succeed with this book
Review: This is a well-written, beautiful little book written in peaceful yet eloquent language. Having had little success with meditation, I have been very excited about the consciousness states I have been able to achieve using the experiental CD included with the book. I also find that in addition to being relaxing and instructive (and incredibly entertaining), the shamanic state is indeed a real point of power. I have had almost instant "life feedback" or "results" - to use an informercial term - after visiting and learning in my own garden space. Read this book, and use the CD. It may prove to be invaluable for you as it has for me.
