Indispensable: Do Not Pass This Book Up!
Reviewed: 09-29-24
I liked the precise description of what enlightenment is and what the various experiences are like along the spiritual path to it. I love the scientific correlation explained as it opens up spirituality and it's goal, enlightenment, to those who have preconceived ideas and/or prejudices about it. This book is by far the most inspired, well crafted, and essential one I have read concerning meditation, enlightenment, and spirituality in recent times. The author's voice was a bit awkward at first, until I realized I had only been listening to polished voice actors reading audible books Listening to the autor literally talk to you as if he were teaching a live course and conveying an empowered message added to the efficacy of this phenomenal work. This single book is responsible for my now (3 years later) very serious meditation practice. Do not pass this one up.

Story
Ego: The Fall of the Twin Towers and the Rise of a New Humanity is the first book to explore the positive evolutionary potential hidden in one of the most destructive events in history. In their examination of the evolutionary implications of 9/11 and its aftermath, the authors contend we are not falling into the grip of a new dark age at all, rather we are on the verge of a much brighter one as the Darwinian process of natural selection continues to advance humankind.

The chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) turns a critical eye toward such practices as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis. Are such powers really possible? Science says yes. According to noted scientist and best-selling author of The Conscious Universe, Dean Radin, magic is a natural aspect of reality, and each of us can tap into this power with diligent practice.

In 2010, the words “earthquake swarm” entered the lexicon in Oklahoma. That same year, a trove of Michael Jackson memorabilia—including his iconic crystal-encrusted white glove—was sold at auction for over $1 million to a guy who was, officially, just the lowly forestry minister of the tiny nation of Equatorial Guinea. And in 2014, Ukrainian revolutionaries raided the palace of their ousted president and found a zoo of peacocks, gilded toilets, and a floating restaurant modeled after a Spanish galleon.

An Equally Satisfying M. Horowitz Book.
Reviewed: 07-30-19
I loved this book. But I have to confess I am biased for the author. I've heard some of the passages verbatim from some of his other works, but in its context these passages seem relevant and worth hearing again.
I Particularly liked the author diving deeper into Nap Hill's classic, as I sometimes have trouble accepting some of it's directions. This book has made it more palatable and useful for me.
I highly recommend it.
Mitch, thanks for your research and desire to help people fully understand the benifits of positive mind power.
