The Truth

If the process of manifestation suggested in this book were to be sincerely followed, you can manifest your own reality. As someone who has read innumerable 'secret of success ' books , I hold very high regard for this book because I have had practical demonstrations of its truths. The one point that the master does not dwell upon is while visualizing the desired situation , one has to pour deep feelings of joy and gratitude...

It is all so simple

I have read many books that reveal the essential truths. This book, however has both a simplcity and a new insight that has not only provided me with new insights, it works when placed into action. It does not require years of learning, rather you can begin to experience a change imeediately.

J-YO

If I could give it more stars, I would. I truly enjoyed this gem. I read it several times. In addition, for those of you who have read it, for fun, go first to page five and read paragraph one. Then, go to page 1 and read the italicized sentence at the top of the page. Mix in a portion of faith and therein lies the secrets of the ages.

THE ONLY SUCCESS BOOK YOU'LL EVER NEED!

Read this book and THINK, really think and what you need to do to change your life will be as plain as the nose on your face! It is just plain old common sense, but it forces us to do that which most people run away from,it forces us to THINK.

All we need, distilled

If you've read Seth and Castaneda and A Course in Miracles and Choprah and Conversations with God and and and ... and you know it's all true but your head is spinning, get this little gem, read it and keep it by your bedside.
