5/5 stars

Fascinating (4/5 people found this helpful)

This is about a spiritual healer and is an investigation into some of his work and understandings of life. I recommend this book as it offers interesting information about karma, reincarnation, and the relationship between, matter and Spirit.
Also something that I found enlightening is when he talks about elementals, which are thoughts. Rather than thinking our thoughts have no effect on life, it is explained that in fact thoughts are the most powerful thing,they are what construct our emotions and physical surroundings.
Also that thoughts dont just go into nothing but they effect us and always come back around to us, so we are really living in a life we have created to a large extent. It is said that our thoughts opperate on just a finer level of energy, beyond the frequency the eye can detect and so, even though we cant physically see thoughts, they are actually always there and whether we project positive or negative thoughts that is going to effect life.
Really interesting book, quite short.

Wonderful, inspiring and moving (4/7 people found this helpful)

I was recommended this book by the wife of one of Daskalos's pupils. Having studied various esoteric methods I found this to be a moving, soulful account of Daskalos's work and experiences. Although not allowing the author or the reader precise details of the meditations,methods etc, it gives the reader insight into the nature of the Magus's work.
