Rating:  Summary: Another excellent book by Glenn Morris...... BUT... Review: Whenever I heard of a new Glenn Morris book, I eagerly checked it out, bought it, and usually devoured it in a day or two. Some of the items within his books delve into the metaphysical, paranormal, and sometimes just plain weird. His martial arts insights are equally interesting and as an on-and-off student of Southern Shaolin kung fu, I can understand and appreciate the references to ninpo and Bujinkan ninjutsu.One of the benefits of his previous books ("Path Notes" and "Shadow Strategies") was his ability to explain a process in which he obtained results- for example, his experience with Tien Tao chi kung in "Path Notes." This time around, he does explain a handful of things, but barely enough to whet the appetite for the true "meat and potatoes" of what he's trying to convey. I think by this point, Morris assumes many of the previous readers and fans know more or less where to go for the answers. If not, they know at least in which direction to look. That is the reason for the 4-star instead of 5 star rating. I don't think that Mr. Morris is dabbling in BS when he explains the esoteric end of martial arts, or his more mystical results while meditating. For those who experience dynamic meditation, and know what that opens up within them, his experiences are interesting, obtainable, and absolutely worth experiencing. I'm almost disappointed in finishing this book as soon as I did. On a side note, he has quite a reference and "suggested reading" list in the back of the book that is well worth checking out.
