Summary: Interesting but dangerous
Review: When I first picked up this book, I got excited just thinking about the stuff I could learn from it .. chakras , reading auras, activating the third eye etc. The introduction is interesting, it talks about various esoteric studies in various cultures (and makes some pretty controversial statements regarding Christianity). Inside there are a lot of simple diagrams and chants, to activate chakras, the third eye, aura reading, channeling etc. But I think it is necessary to warn people that fascinating as this is, don't take it lightly. This is not some kind of New Age Experiment. Channeling, is a pretty dangerous thing to get into unless you learn from a properly qualified person , only after it is ascertained that it is safe for you to do it( in Ayurveda people of the body type Vata-air are warned not to attempt channeling).The problem with this book is that , while it offers you the option to learn something wonderful, it fails to warn you about how dangerous it is to dabble in these things. Not everyone can or should attempt the specified exercises. So who 's to judge whether you may attempt it not? I'm sure there are people qualified enough to judge who can and can't undertake the exercises given, but I just don't know where you 'd find a competent person of this nature. My advice would be to read this book but limit the amount of exercises you follow that are specified in this book. Esoteric knowledge is as dangerous and useful as western medicine because it either can harm you (when used carelessly) or benefit you (if used wisely).
