One of the best books I've ever read... April 4, 2008
This book both saved my life and changed my life. It's interesting that I've been reading it, off and on, since 1990 and in all these years different phrases, paragraphs and chapters keep "jumping out at me," sentences that I bypassed so many years ago, because I did not begin to understand those concepts. Now I am beginning to, as I see and understand more and more of what this book & the author is saying. I guess that means "progress!"
This is the book which told me that "the spiritual world is the world of EMOTIONS." I had never had it presented to in this way, especially growing up where "emotions" - all except anger - were completely "verboten." Finally, I can begin to understand just what this means. Peace, patience, tranquility = "heaven," anger and resentment = "hell."
I actually allow myself to write in the margins and date my observations and questions, so it's like a diary of sorts, and I am able to see the changes over the last - gasp! - 18 years. Every time I think I don't need this book anymore, and might as well give it away, poof... here comes something else, and I pull it down from my "reference" shelf. Now I'm going to order the rest of the books by Eva Pierrakos, who gets 5 star reviews every time.
One of the most important messages and insights I got from this book was the connection between "states of being."
The "spiritual world" IS our "emotional world. That is the difference between "Heaven" and "Hell." It is all in the way we FEEL.
I have heard that "our state of mind" created heaven or hell, but it isn't my mind that does me in, it is my EMOTIONS. It's not my attitude, it's not my thoughts; my mind is sharp as a tack and very well disciplined; it's my emotions that knock me for a loop every time. They control my thoughts and come first in the arena I live in. They are wild horses that take me for a ride, I am not a master in that area.
When I read the correlation between "emotions" and "spiritual world" something clicked! One door flew open while another one shut, and I have never been the same since. Not to say that I've made all the "changes" necessary as yet, but at least I am on the right path. I have tons of books that I read all the time, but this one stays on my shelf.
As people used to say, and I still mean it: "Thanks for sharing!" You have made my day!

This is a profound book that delves into the essence of what it means to be a human being. Everything is covered - from advice on efforts to face our own inner gremlins, letting them go, to advice on how to start relaxing and creating with one's consciousness.
"Creating is pure fascination" (p. 218)
This is also a book that talks about dissolving structures, entering the chaos consciously, and formulating a will to happiness so strong, so unyielding, so determined that the intent becomes creating power itself. And that is where we truly start living. A great book.
Best book ever October 21, 2003

I bought this book 20 years ago and even now when I read it I come to new realizations about myself. The material present in the lectures goes so deep that you can read the lectures again and again and continue to get insight from them. It is the best guidebook for life and for understanding our shadow selves that I have ever seen. If you want a true change of self and freedom from your compulsions this is the best place to start. Mind you, it is a slow process but the book is just the thing to turn to when you feel stuck and hopeless. It has the keys that will lead you to just the understanding you need to free your mind.

I find that this book and mainly the "Lectures" that I purchased additionally (listed in the back of the book) helped to transform my life to what is true freedom and our purpose for existence. The material is truly profound and rich with guidance and insight that will last for life and cannot be replaced. This is my favorite spiritual literature and is such a gift left by a very courageous and talented woman. The book and the Lectures are channeled material by a "Guide" who comes through Eva. The Lectures begin around the 1950s with material that will always be timely. If you discover this book with the Lectures you are blessed and if you can manage to stay with the Lectures this Pathwork is for you.

This book totally answered almost all of my questions about life. It CHANGED my life. I introduced it to my roommate, and we kept stealing it back and forth from each other. It is the single most important book I've ever read. It seriously changed my life- how I saw things, how I lived. It's background may make people a little skeptical, but I swear, if you read it, you will know... I don't care what the circumstances were for it's being written, it combed my soul and lifted me PERMANENTLY from the depression that was always lurking somewhere in my life.
