America before columbus, based on the oral history of 33 tribes by Ehanamani (Dr. A. C. Ross)

Fascinating compilation of Lakota beliefs, history and metaphysics

Ehanamani (Dr. A.C. Ross) grew up on reservations, attended a Christian high school and joined the military. While serving overseas he was embarrassed that a German knew more about his culture than he did, so he decided to learn more. He asked himself, “Why do we do certain things or believe certain stories? There must be a reason behind our traditional beliefs.” This book summarizes the findings of his research into Native American beliefs arrived at through a multitude of synchronistic events.

Ehanamani discusses Native American beliefs and ceremonies, Jungian psychology, energy, chakras, metaphysics, reincarnation, Edgar Cayce, Christianity, physics, spirituality and other esoteric topics, deftly tying them together into a holistic worldview.

Several chapters detail cultural, religious, and ceremonial similarities between the Native Americans on the North American continent and neighboring continents, which he believes confirms the Native American belief in islands called Mu (in the Pacific Ocean) and Atlantis (in the Atlantic) from which these peoples emigrated.

The message I got, which was perfectly timed, was how important it is for me to participate in more right-brained activities to find balance and improve my connection with That Which Gives Life.

This is an easy book to read, written in a conversational style of a friend just sharing what he’s learned over the years. I really enjoyed this book, and it will stay in my library.

The chapters are:

Preface: Mitakuyapi “My Relatives”
Iyeska: Interpreter
Jungian Psychology and Brain Hemisphericy Compared with Traditional D/Lakota Thought
Original Techings of the Red Man

Extraterrestrial Earth Mission
Compiled by Savizar and Silarra

I’m not buying it…the message, that is

This book is a collection of short essays lacking cohesion that teach that planet earth is alive and going through a cosmic spiritual change, and 40 million extraterrestrials (walk-ins or born of humans) are here to help. I don’t have any trouble believing this scenario, but not based on what I’ve read in this book.

The majority of humans came here to “master limitation,” meaning we chose to be miserable and perfect suffering (condense energy) to learn to “precisely utilize energy.” Now we need to shift to being masters of divine expression (expand energy), and that will help shift the earth to being a planet that will support said expression: heaven on earth.

How to be a master of divine expression? Follow your spirit; don’t judge; imagine, think and feel what you desire, and the universe will rearrange itself to bring forth that picture. In other words, have faith in yourself.

Now, these are wonderful messages worth embracing, but I have trouble believing the ET framework in which they’re placed, because it must be taken completely on faith.

Book II of the Earth Life Series

Good reading if you need to go to sleep

Power Through Personal Awareness was so boring that I got two-thirds through and realized I didn’t want to waste any more of my life. I kept waiting for something new and original, but it never arrived. And I couldn’t remember much of what I had already read.

The gist of the book is this: If someone does something bad to you, then the universe is calling attention to how you mistreat yourself. If you are upset, breathe and become fully conscious of yourself. Concentrate on your highest good and that of others. Be aware of the energy around you.

Here’s are some examples of the “wisdom” found herein:

• Know when to pay attention to your own needs and when to be selfless.
• Do not feel responsible for everyone’s happiness. Only they can choose it, you cannot choose it for them.
• Love and accept who you are, not who you will be or should be.
• If you ask for guidance, trust the messages that come into your mind.
• Knowing who you are involves time alone, quiet and reflective time in which you can listen to your thoughts, and reflect upon the day and yourself.
• There is no one right way to evolve or pursue your soul’s path. It is up to you to choose whatever is best for you.

If those statements above resonate with you and lift you higher, or you are new to introspection, then you may enjoy this book. You can see from the reviews that it’s pretty popular with everyone but me. We’re all at different points on our journey. But in my view this is just psychology 101 bundled in metaphysical terms and marketed as a channeled work. I suggest instead reading books on New Thought.

How to Release the Forces Inside You & Get What You Want! by by Claude M. Bristol

An encouraging, easy-to-understand treatment of manifesting

I’ve read quite a few books on manifesting and New Thought, and this is one of the better ones. What is TNT?

It’s you, your real self, the hidden power of your own inner mind, released under purposeful control, and directed to serve you in the meeting of any experience, the removal of any obstacle and the overcoming of any condition, economic, physical, mental or spiritual.

The book is a pleasure to read because of its contemporary language and encouraging tone. Bristol provides numerous examples of how intent and focus helped people realize their dreams. However, the major emphasis seems to be self-determination and will, and barely scratches the surface of supernatural phenomena.

The positive thoughts of others can encourage and sustain us or their negative thoughts can cage us, control us, even poison us. We must guard against negative outside influences.

Be careful what you think, and try whenever possible to dwell on thoughts of strength, beauty, love, and joy. You will become what you think of.

A Classic Tale of Wealth, Wisdom & the Secret of Success by John McDonald

A simplistic version of manifesting along with a silly story

This book consists of two parts.

Part One: The Search (32 pages). This is a nonsensical, filler story of a businessman who receives a call from a friend who had been “miserable, beaten and depressed,” and who had gone on an ocean voyage to improve his health. But the friend was back and had a marvelous story to tell.

The two men meet shortly thereafter in a club, and the friend tells the businessman about a mysterious and powerful stranger (the Master) who imparted to him the wisdom of the ages with which he was now changing his fortune. Then he says, “And that’s as much of my story as I can reveal at this time. I hope you find it encouraging, and I hope you will discover more, eventually.” Gosh, thanks for nothing. (That takes us to page 20.) So now the businessman sets out to find the Master and, after thousands of miles of searching, find him he does, which leads us to Part Two.

Part Two: The Message (48 pages). This section contains the real meat of the book, and the principles are well known to those familiar with manifesting. Roughly, manifesting is the ability to transmute energy into matter using thought. The law of manifesting allows you to create your own reality, such as finding the job you want, a dream home, riches, rewarding relationships or anything else your heart desires.

This book is a tasty appetizer. It can act as an introduction to this marvelous process, but fails to intellectually convince. And if you can’t convince your conscious mind, there’s no way the subconscious mind will manifest anything.

When you’re hungry for the main entree, get Three Magic Words by U.S. Andersen and most importantly The Edinburgh and Dore Lectures on Mental Science by Thomas Troward. Also recommended are TNT: The Power Within You by Claude Bristol, The Power of Your Supermind by Vernon Howard, Thoughts Are Things by Prentice Mulford, and Your Invisible Power by Genevieve Behrend.

Happy Manifesting!

Buy The Message of a Master.

by Vernon Howard

Offers the mystical route to lasting happiness

Howard teaches that suffering comes from a variety of causes. Much of our pain is caused by resistance to the truth of our inner poverty. Other causes are mistaking thoughts for reality, living in the past or the future, mistaking the false, conditioned self for the True Self and, most importantly, fear. Some tools for spiritual advancement include self-knowledge, receptivity, and present-moment awareness.

Howard contends that the message of mysticism is:

Happiness is yours in the here and now. The painful states of anxiety and loneliness are abolished permanently. Financial affairs are not financial problems. You are at ease with yourself. You are not at the mercy of unfulfilled cravings. Confusion is replaced with clarity. There is a relieving answer to every tormenting question. You possess a True Self. Something can be done about every unhappy condition. While living in the world you can be inwardly detached from its sorrows to live with personal peace and sanity.

Pretty heady promises. Mystics have always taught that our emotions are not a result of outside events but of how we interpret those events, and our interpretations may be conditioned by parents, peers, society, etc. They may spring from outdated beliefs and values that we thought served us in less than ideal circumstances.

First and foremost, we must become self-aware. And we must not mistake the false self for the True Self that is divinely inspired. It takes courage to see one’s own flaws, and it takes wisdom to realize that these do not emanate from the True Self. No condemnation need follow such honest appraisal. After all, we can only release flaws we know about.

Since reading this book and separating myself from my thoughts and judgments and viewing them uncritically, I’ve learned quite a few things about myself. I’m embarrassed by some of what I’ve learned, or rather, my ego is embarrassed. My True Self is elated. Because I can choose now to judge differently, respond differently.

5 stars!
