The most thought-provoking book on the New Age. Apr 15, 2006
This book is important, both in content and style.
Firstly, it reveals insights to a whole series of critical questions, addressing the New Age Supermarket" or " The New Age Labyrinth" as James Findlay calls this new age "Industry" which has quickly grown throughout the western world.
Secondly, the books concept shows a grounded Socratic philosophical understanding of human values which in essence goes way beyond the usual New Age angle regarding "angels, reincarnation and karma". The book insists upon everyones natural and democratic right to shape their own life, despite the "imperialisation" dominating the world of "self realisation".
Thirdly, the books style creates from the very first page a strong sense of curiosity and expectation which drives the reader onward. The reader is egged-on and encouraged to follow the author deeper into the heart of the labyrinth by a series of poetic and mysterious stories and allegories. At the same time, this poetic style of storytelling reveals and unfolds the classical art of storytelling, which makes the reading of it, a delightful experience.
The books Socratic philosophical foundations demonstrates exceptional style throughout its educational and clear construction.
Furthermore the book is spiced thoughout with personal accounts from the authors many years experience of the New Age.
Make no mistake. Here is an experienced insider who is addressing us.
A rare reading experience. A book for our time.
Lisbeth Gudmand-H?yer, teacher, art therapist, and analytical literature student
