Summary: The first negative review
Review: Funny how all the reviews for this "book" habe been five stars. You would almost think John-Roger had a cult of unquestioning accolytes, in love with everthing he does, no matter had bad, or in the case of this book, mediocre. It is another reconstituted amalgam of New Age jargon and hashed over ideas that have been parroted by better than John Roger. Where did this guy learn to write? Hint: it wasn't in a college.

Summary: Spiritual Warrior - Experience Freedom of Your Loving Heart
Review: The Spiritual Warrior Free at Last, Free at Last THANK GOD, I'M FREE AT LASTI live in the South, Texas to be exact, we are the buckle of the bible belt. Most of the people here are fundamental about their experience of God. God and the Holy Spirit is experienced through emotional flooding. With one hand they are beating themselves up with how unworthy they are and with the other hand they are pushing down the pain with alcohol, drugs, sex, work and yes, God to take away their pain and suffering. An endless cycle of lack and low self esteem. Statistically, Texas has the highest prison population in the country. Dallas is known as the "divorce capital" of the USA. Country music, which appeals to the emotions, is mostly about "crying, loving and leaving". People here continue to try and fill the emptiness with someone or something outside themselves. MSIA, which teaches to go inside to your spiritual heart, means they would have to let go, fear of the unknown and the layers of shame make the idea extremely painful. In the nutrition work I do most of the women I work with are in the fundamental churches. They are taught that the man of the house is in charge of their spiritual guidance. They give over to the "man of the house" any right of who they are. Being invisible, having no identity, these women, over a period of years begin to get sick. There is a lot of breast cancer and diseases of the female organs. The men I work with suffer mostly from heart related illness. Taking on the responsibility of everyone in the family and denying their own needs, they too become invisible. With a lack of self esteem, each person is trying their best to put out a "good image". A good wife, a good husband, a good child. There are more plastic surgeons per capita per person in Dallas than anywhere else in the country. The need to be "perfect". Over creating emotionally like a roller coaster, up and down, gets real tiring...I know, been there done that, ain't never goin' back ...I was raised in a fundamental religious family. (Thats another story) Living in the Bible Belt, I decided to do some investigation work. Where do the Christian churches get their information? In reading various books (if your interested in the books I read I will send a bibligraphy), I found , the teachings of the "Apostle" Paul. The Catholic Church is based on his teachings as well as the teachings of St. Augustine. Further, I discovered both Paul and Augustine's philosophy is based on Socrates and Plato not Jesus Christ. During the height of Greek culture and philosophy, Socrates was the best known for influencing people with his philosophy. In his Book VII the allegory of the Cave, long before Freud, Socrates understood the workings of the human psyche. Socrates demonstrated that the aim of education was to turn the soul around by changing its desires. Desire having to do with the mind and emotions. Socrates was forced to kill himself because he was very pushy about showing people how they could change their lives. His student Plato, who was from a very wealthy family didn't need to work. With money and influence he took over where Socrates left off. Paul lived during the same time period and used the philosophy of Socrates and Plato mixed it in with some of the philosophy of Jesus Christ and being a great promoter like some our television evangelist said it was the teachings of Jesus Christ. I also ran across some information about how Paul and some of Jesus's disciples like John also know, as John The Beloved, were in disagreement about how Paul was promoting Jesus. The teachings of Jesus Christ, as I have come to learn is about LOVING, and forgiveness, worthiness to love and be loved. Taking care of yourself first, so you can take care of others. Each person is in charge of themselves. Free to be just who we are....because we are all from God... The "Spiritual Warrior" is a tool back to what I feel are the true teachings of Jesus Christ, the Loving Heart. "Seek Ye First The Kingdom Of Heaven and all things will be given unto you. The Kingdom of Heaven is within." Reclaiming who I am has been a long journey. Going inside and peeling off the layers of fear, guilt and shame, to truly know my loving heart. Each and every day is more learning about what that is. Free at last, free at last, thank God, I am free at last. I pass on the "Spiritual Warrior" whenever and where ever I can. "Happiness is an In -Thing" . Its inside, become a Spiritual Warrior, find your courage to let go and let God, and yes, climb aboard for the ride of your life....
