   To help you steer clear of letting the authors get their hands into your purse, here are some facts about this awful book:

   “If you are standing in the shade, it seems like the sun isn’t shining on you.”

   What?:

   1. IT “SEEMS” like it isn’t? Since when can a person not tell if they are under the shade with some sunlight shining on them?

   2. Who in the world doesn’t think the sun is shining on them when they are under the shade? Everyone knows the sunlight around you is reflecting off the ground back onto you or that some gets through the cracks or leaves of or holes of whatever it is you are under.

   “But who moved you into the shade? Who moved you into the darkness?”

   The author is symbolizing the shade and darkness as evil. Okay, but his analogy between shade and darkness makes no sense, and he is wrong to make it seem as if you are in a bad situation merely because of whatever it is you’ve done. Example: Being raised wrong, being poorly educated or miseducated, if you were minding your own business or doing good even, and then you were raped, molested, tortured, wrongly imprisoned, or abused. Yes, “Doctors” (and wannabe sages), not everything is everyone’s fault. It’s bizarre to say that raping a woman is like being in the shade.

   “The truth is we are in the darkness because of our ignorance.”

   If that statement were in the Bible it would make sense, however in this book, it’s hardly helpful for the reasons I listed above.

   This book is also anti-Christian as it virtually says that we are God:

   “Your Word is Law

   What we are saying is that your word is the law in the universe.”

   1. So much for God’s commandments.

   2. What if someone says we should rape kids and another says we shouldn’t, which law should be obeyed? The authors then say,

   “But you need to know these laws, without an understanding of the laws, through ignorance, you create what you want.”

   1. Why do the authors refer to your laws as “these laws”? Confusing grammar eh?

   2. LOL! WE CREATE LAWS THROUGH IGNORANCE? What does creating what you want have to do with making laws? So if I declare that, “Thou shalt not steal any blue socks” I can create a banana sandwich? What are they talking about? Maybe he messed up what he was trying to say (which probably didn’t make sense either.)

   3. And we can create what we want through imaging laws lol??? Was that also mistake? I can imagine the authors laughing at the people who would fall for this book as they wrote it. Or maybe they are truly very confused.

   More nutsense: “Who you are is spiritually perfect, but what you do is not always perfect.” Oh really, so if a person rapes kids, who they are doesn’t include “rapist”? And what is the author’s point in bringing this up? Weird.

   More nutballery: “Before the Law of Gravity was identified, nobody knew it existed.” Really? So no one knew that things thrown up into the air will fall down, or that if a metal ball hanging on a rope will fall if the rope is cut?

   More lying: The authors (or maybe one was asleep) claim that when Buddha said, “desire creates suffering” that what he really meant was “that when you want something more and don’t accept what you already have, you will suffer.” Sure he meant that! And that’s why that’s what he said right? Wrong. Also “accept” is the wrong word to use, there is nothing wrong with not accepting something but rather not being CONTENT with something. So even their vocabulary is poor.

   One more laugh: “When you think – the universe moves [why the dash?] This means that when you put an idea out into the universe, people, places and things, come into your life fulfilling that idea.” What The hell? Not all thinking is composed of ideas, much of it is analyzing, furthermore, if I envision Donald Trump bringing me a super-nutritious pizza, I doubt dogs and tooth fairies will come to my rescue to fill my grumbling belly.

   I would have enjoyed this book, but the numerous grammatical mistakes were distracting. You would think whoever was supposed to edit this book would have caught these errors. Shame on you.

   Ask yourself, how many times can you say the same thing, give it a new title, and market it well? Sure, there are always a few new spins about a subject that have never been presented in exactly the same way before. But, the concept has been shared so many times, by so many authors for well over a century, that you should ask yorself, “what is it going to take to get the message and implement it”? Nothing new here in my opinion. Is it valuable? Sure for someone just taking their first step in the direction of conscious living! Save you money and save a few trees, the Planet could use yor help.
