Most boring book you can read, Good for reference.......2007-10-06

You cannot really read this book. You can use it as a reference, very comprehensive. Must read other book for learning the basics, then use this as a reference for comprehensive guide.

Unfortunately badly written, but absolutely necessary.......2007-10-01

This book is absolutely mandatory to get a PMP certification, which is nearly a mandatory requirement for being a project manager. These days, it is difficult to get a PM job without this certification. And the only way to get it is by knowing this book from cover to cover no matter how dry and 'dictionary-like' it is.

That being said, it is not *that* bad. It is better than, for example, the CMMI 1.2 book. What is missing is why these practices are the "best practices" and why you would implement them - what the benefits would be. Also missing is any kind of comprehensible memorable writing style.

You're not going to pass the certification test by reading this book, but you can't pass without it either.

Good Book.......2007-09-28

A very good book for PMs, since it is from PMI, they have covered most aspects of PM, however, no that much in detail, so not that good for early career PMs.

Do NOT buy this book!!!.......2007-09-24

I really, really wish I would have read through the amazon reviews before buying this book. It looks like a good idea and that it will an informative read. It's a piece of summary junk that provides no real value whatsoever.

Instead of actually trying to teach concepts in detail, the objective of this book appears to be the mere identification of concepts. If you're content learning about the concepts that exist, maybe this book is for you. If you want to actually know how things work and be able to do them yourself, go elsewhere.

Customer Reviews:

A Must For Quantum Spiritual Seekers.......2007-09-30

The second section of the book is devoted to an understanding of the quantum field as it relates to access to wisdom and creating results.
It simplifies and pulls together science and spirituality into a brilliantly clear picture that will leave you understanding your place in the universe from a whole new realm of possibility. THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WANTNG TO UNDERSTAND HUMAN POTENTIAL.

The Planes of Existence and the Body.......2007-06-11

Ramtha's Beginner Guide is really interesting to read, and I believe it to be all true. It is an expansion of some ideas in Hinduism, like the astral realm and the kundalini. It has in-depth explanations of everything, and every plane of existence. Ramtha also explains a lot about his experiences, what happened, and how he got there. For his autobiography section, get ready for him repeatedly saying "as it were indeed" almost every sentence. After that, however, it starts getting interesting.

The only problem that I have with this book is that it isn't very clear what we are supposed to do, and it is not very practical. I would consider this a book that gives you an idea what it is like to be enlightened and know everything, but it doesn't teach you how to get there. Nevertheless, it explains in detail the 7 planes of existence and the 7 centers of the body, as well as the anatomy of the body related to those centers.

enlighted pages.......2007-05-16

I actually purchased this book for my father. He started reading Ramtha about a year ago and has since become a changed man. A sense of calm and confidence is more apart of his life, he savors his time of reading meditation of this book in the morning each day. Its been wonderful to watch and has me inspired me to perhaps buy myself a copy of my own. So while I can not reveiw this from my personal expereince I can see how its touched my Father's life and reccommend it to you if youare searching for a new path, a new way of looking at things, or just looking to explore. :) Cheers!

Tough one to get into.......2007-03-22

I've had trouble getting into this book. I pick it up every month or so and try again, but just can't get my head into it. I've found, in the past, when I'm ready for the book, it will become an easy read. Guess I'm just not ready - yet !

ten stars would be more acdurate.......2006-10-13

Book Description

"It seems like everyone else has the script. Everyone else knows what's happening and I look around and say, Duh."

Of course, the truth is that no one has the script because there is no script to follow. Chances are you'd find that almost everyone else has questions and worries a lot like yours, if you could get them to admit it. This brand-new, completely updated and revised edition of Changing Bodies, Changing Lives is full of honest, accurate, nonjudgmental information on everything teenagers need to know about today.

Am I the only one who

can't get up the nerve to ask someone out?
got my period so early?
doesn't even know the right way to kiss?
feels pressured to use drugs?
still hasn't hit puberty yet?
wants to avoid the gang scene?
worries when my mom doesn't come home at night?
is scared that I might have AIDS?
can't decide what form of birth control to use?
has no idea how to tell my friends I'm gay?
goes on eating binges?
has never had an orgasm?
is shut out of the popular crowd?

Changing Bodies, Changing Lives has helped hundreds of thousands of teenagers make informed decisions about their lives, from questions about sex, love, friendship, and how your body works to dealing with problems at school and home and figuring out who you are. It's packed with illustrations, checklists, and resources for the answers you really need. Best of all, it's filled with the voices, poems, and cartoons from hundreds of other teenagers, who tell you what makes them feel worried, angry, confused, sexy, happy, and, yes, even excited and hopeful about their lives. (Check out the first two pages for a sample of the quotes you'll find inside.)

Being a teenager is tough. With the information and the ideas inside this book, you'll have what you need to make these years the best they can be.

Great book for parents of teens!.......2007-07-24

I purchased several books for my teen, and this one was one that didn't interest her as much - but I have learned a lot from it! It has a lot of insight into the teen mind, and as much as we think we remember what it was like to be a teen, it's easy to forget about all the fears and insecurities they have. I highly recommend this book as a refresher course for parents of teens. My teen preferred the perspectives offered in the books Cycle Savvy and S.E.X. for information that pertained to her.

A must buy!!.......2007-01-11

I have given this book to a dozen teens over the years. I wish I had access to this information while going through such a confusing time. Besides, would you rather them gather answers to all those questions through TV and friends??

Great resource for teens.......2006-11-03

A great resource for teens, but the pictures are a bit dated. An updated edition is in need. However, the information is still relevant and necessary for all teens.

A good primer for younger teenagers........2006-07-31

This is a primer for younger teenagers. It is well written, although it needs to be updated in 2006. It is a textbook more than a think piece. It is a good starter book for parents and younger teenagers.

Changing Bodies out of date.......2006-03-23

I was very disapointed with the book. Expanded third edition was deceiving because I thought it was new - my oversight. The book is out of date - I oversee a Center that teaches sex education and this was not helpful.

Book Description

In 1945, a mysterious Nazi secret weapons project code-named The Bell left its underground bunker in lower Silesia, with its project documentation, and the 4-star SS general Hans Kammler. Taken aboard a massive six engine Junkers 390 ultra-long range aircraft, The Bell, Kammler, and all project records disappeared completely, along with the gigantic Junkers 390 carrying them. It has been speculated that it flew to Argentina. As a prelude to this disappearing act, the SS murdered most of the scientists and technicians involved with the project, a secret weapon that, according to one German Nobel prize-winning physicist, was given a classification of decisive for the war -- the highest security classification. Offered here is a range of exotic technologies the Nazis researched, and challenges to the conventional views of the end of World War Two, the Roswell incident, and the beginning of MAJIC-12, the government's alleged secret team of UFO investigators.

Customer Reviews:

The Nazis are still here??!!.......2007-09-02

It starts with a rambling history of the Nazi experiments with levitation, atomic power, and zero point energy. I say rambling, because in contrast to the book that got me started on this subject was "The Hunt for Zero Point" by Nick Cook, which is a very grounded (no pun intended) and less fringy take on the subject. Very well written, too.

Now, back to the book by Farrell:
Okay, the Nazi scientists emigrated to the US to work on our space program. Okay, I buy that. He goes into a lot of speculation about stealth technology (again, see Cooks book for a better take) and the physics of levitation generated by Mercury spinning really really fast, which was mentioned in some ancient Sanskrit text... THEN, Farrell drops some hokey documents on our lap and says that the Nazis helped orchestrate the JFK assassination and, by the way, we may already have a base on the Moon and Mars.

Huh? You have to read it to follow the chain of information. It IS compelling, but it just makes the author sound like a maniac, who, in his acknowledgements, thanks his parents for letting him set up camp in their basement to write this book. Obviously a book meant for the subculture of people who are convinced the Chupacabra is the pet dog of the Grey aliens, and he got lost on his way to Bigfoot's house.

Yeah. He also acknowledges David Hatcher Childress, who... well, just do a search for the books he is attached to to see where HE is coming from. Fringe-o-philes...

Interesting pile of ideas in here to fuel some comic book writer somewhere. If taken for what it is, it reads like a weird espionage alternate history sci-fi. For that point along, I give it three stars.

good book.......2007-08-23

If you are interested in weird ideas about world war II, this book is definitely worth the read.

Very little in this book seems to be supported by hard evidence, and yet the information is useful.

This book is NOT just a list of usupported claims like many books about the weird side of the Nazis are.

Full course dinner plus dessert.......2007-07-13

This book is one big meal of a read. I read it a few years back and it remains one of my favorite in the field of alternative technologies and history. Not only is it well written (I enjoy Farrell's writing...see Giza Deathstar series) but it keeps the mind buzzing. If you have a feeling there is more to history than what you got in high school this is a great place to start an investigation. I would feel confident in offering an expanded review once I reread the title to refresh my memory so for now, trust me, this is a great book. Not for summer reading unless this is what you usually read. Not for the light hearted.

Amazing Connections.......2007-02-26

Where the author of this book has had to take some venturous assumptions on, he uses a lot of very well documented 'finds' to substantiate them - amazing finds that will astound those unfamiliar with how far really the Reich was able to go before the war's end in 1945.

The logical conclusions Joseph Farrell comes to, and the amazing substantiated technology that a secret few in the brotherhood were privy to gives you a wide open door for any UFO researcher, armchair or otherwise to be better equiped in debunking possible alien myths, and/or truths we are living in these very days.

Be spellbound, entertained and gripped by this amazing book. Where it has a ton on what was going on 'back then'(and therefore fills in a lot of blanks our history books left us), you will find it relates to everything going on today, right now, right before your very eyes!

Joseph Farrell shares his expertise in the science world giving the reader a huge leg up on how these events relate to modern science/phenomena; the findings in this work clearly interleaves well with other researchers who have written about the 'spiritual side' of our political world and their unique attachments to the 'other side'.

An excellent read and I heartily recommend it - some of it is 'open minded', and after you see what he is writing about, you can understand how it all fits! The rest is pure 'connect the fact-dots!' and you definately get the same picture...

Revelations of a global conspiracy - truth or untruth?.......2007-01-09

Joseph P. Farrell's The SS Brotherhood of the Bell continues the author's work - brought out in the so-called Giza trilogy and the "Reich of the Black Sun" - advocating that the general public has been deceived by its leaders for the better part of the 20th Century, and that the deception has been exacerbated in the new century. Mr. Farrell's contention is that there is an alternative doctrine of physics that - if studied and understood by experts and laymen - provides a general set of explanations for a variety of "mysteries" in our world such as UFOs. At the risk of grossly mis-stating the author's explanation, it seems to me that this "ether physics" is based broadly on the notion that our very environment is alive with energy rather than objects within the environment being the source of energy. The most notable result of this theory is that an object would be able to move through the environment by creating shifts in the ether. Call it whatever you wish, but this caused me to simplify the theory down to magnetic power...

Central to his premise is also the need to accept that - if ether physics are valid - then there has been a systematic and prolonged effort by those in power to hide this information from us. And, further accepting the credo that "knowledge is power" as the justification for such actions, one is directed by the author towards the conclusion that a worldwide entity larger than any single government is manipulating our lives.

Farrell contends that while ether physics is not a new theory. In fact, in his earlier books on the pyramids at Giza being sources of ether-physics-related power, this science is virtually antediluvian. It was, however, Nazi Germany and its links to the occult that caused resurgence in experimentation into ether physics in terms of its military potential. While discussing various technologies - as he did in his earlier book Reich of the Black Sun - the center-piece of this book is an alleged experiment that is more-or-less eponymous with the title of this book.

The bare details are this: the Germans were experimenting with high speed magnetic rotation of various elements. The results of these experiments are mysterious, deadly and, in some cases, contradictory, depending upon references. Core to this part of the story is published material from a Polish research named Igor Witkowski. He claims to have accessed documents that were held in the former German Democratic Republic but are now being accessed with the collapse of Communism. It is Witkowski's work - also cited heavily in Nick Cook's The Hunt for Zero Point - that is the basis for the bell-related information in Farrell's book.

All concerned conclude their stories with the scientific equipment and records being taken by SS Obergruppenfuehrer Hans Kammler, a real person who had virtual total control of the German secret programs in the 1944/1945 timeframe. But, with Witkowski and Cook are somewhat vague about what happened with the end of World War two, Farrell is adamant in his belief that Kammler and other former regime members were able to cut deals with all the allied powers and, in doing so, were able to establish themselves as an extra-national entity that operates to this day. This entity has been able to maintain itself by nefarious actions that, Farrell implies, may have included the assassination of John F. Kennedy!

As part of this startling allegation, Farrell continues on to presents his view that the entity that is controlling and manipulating the post-modern world is dominated by a "next-generation" Nazis who have taken over the older more established behind the scenes New World order groups such as the Illuminati, the Council and Foreign Relations and Skull and Bones. Thus, the author states that Bush, pere and fils, along with John Kerry are either willing accomplices or subjugated dupes.

What is true and what is not true in this book is a matter of personal choice. While one can say, "You cannot make this stuff up!" it is also clear that one could. In light of this, The SS Brotherhood of the Bell falls into the same literary/historical niche as such events as The Philadelphia Experiment and Roswell, where it is certain something happened but the details and the actual accuracy of those details is extremely unclear.

As I implied, it is up to each and every reader of this book to make his/her rational decision about whether or not to believe all or some of what is contained in this book.

"Hanging Low, Keeping Cool," "A Hairy Question," "Feeling Private/Feeling Guilty," "You Don't See Any Blind, Crazy Morons Around Here, Do Ya?"

Can you guess what all these chapter titles are about? Give you a hint: everything you ever wanted to know about (but were afraid to ask)... You got it, boys and puberty! Author Lynda Madaras and her daughter Area Madaras have expanded and updated their sensitive, detailed, often witty guide for boys on the cusp of adolescence. To help boys realize they are not alone in their concerns about masturbation, body hair, growth spurts (or lack thereof), female puberty, voice changes, perspiration, shaving, and sexuality, this classic guide is written in a down-to-earth, nonjudgmental style and filled with answers to the many questions boys have as their bodies begin the transformation into adulthood. As a result of thousands of reader letters over the years, as well as the ever growing body of information about puberty in boys, the third edition has been revised to include more detailed discussion of penis size (the authors get more questions about penis size than all other topics combined), updated information on acne treatment, expanded sections on eating right, exercise, steroid abuse, and weight training, and important facts about STDs, AIDS, and birth control. Filled with anecdotes, illustrations, and diagrams, the guide is designed with the understanding that some boys and parents will want to read it together, while others will want to pore over it on their own. Either way, this resource will prove to be incredibly useful for boys and their parents over these strange, exciting years. The companion volume for girls, What's Happening to My Body? Book for Girls is a must-read as well. (Ages 8 to 15) --Emilie Coulter

Growing Up.......2007-08-11

A very good book that has answers to questions that some parents have a hard time explaining and talking about. Worth getting and keeping on your book shelf.

It depends on the child - great for my son!.......2007-07-10

I got this book on recommendation of a friend who read it with her son at age 10.

I read a prior reviewer's comment that no pre-teen boy would ever read this book on his own. My husband and I introduced this book to my son when he was 11 (right before the start of 6th grade). My husband and I pre-read the book and then I casually gave it to my son, asked him to read it and to ask us any questions. At first I noticed him glancing through it and skipping around from chapter to chapter. Whenever he had a question, he'd come to one of us - but not too frequently.

Two months into middle school, my son seemed to be reading the book all the time. I am assuming it was because of the "older" discussions, etc. the boys were having. I also thought that he may be trying to figure out if the information he was getting from friends at school was correct. My son initiated several discussions with us about information he read in the book. I don't think he found any of the terms too clinical. In fact, I believe the book gives the correct terminology and some common or slang terms as well. (i.e. "wet dreams") I have always taught my son the correct terminology for body parts, etc.

When my son's school (all boys) had their health seminar at the end of 6th grade, he took the book to school with him - I believe to share it with the teacher (a female).

All in all, I think the book was very informative and gave my son the truth.

I would suggest that parents read it first to determine if their sons can handle it. I cannot imagine giving my child this book on his 10th birthday - he was definitely NOT ready then. But my friend did just that and she, her husband, and her son developed weekly discussions on it.

Good conversation starter........2007-05-17

My husband and I have always been very open with our son regarding sex and body issues, in an age-appropriate way. He is now nearly 11 and we got this book for him. He giggled a bit about it but when I let him know I'd be glad to talk about any of the chapters with him, I was a little surprised that the first thing he wanted to talk about was the section on girls..... being a boy, we'd been filling him in on what to expect from his own body but forgot that he'd be curious about the "gentler sex". It's been a nice tool and we have left it on the bookshelf in his room. He can peruse it at his own pace and when he's wondering about things, knowing that he can always come to us with questions about anything.

I think it's an informative book that is, like my title suggests, a good conversation starter. It's not a substitute for talking with your kids about sex and the things that happen during puberty and beyond.

We're very happy with this book and it fits our parenting style.

Moms need this! More than dads. Maybe more than sons........2007-04-19

Dads may know all this stuff already, but moms don't have a clue! And moms are the ones who actually explain male anatomy & physiology to their sons. We're the ones who spend the most time with young boys and have the most opportunities to teach. Since we don't have first hand experience, we need factual information.

I have two sons, and learned only from this book, how boys develop and what is typical. I was shocked to learn this information, until you consider that, as a girl, I had no opportunity to learn. And this topic can be so uncomfortable for men, that they don't know this information either. They may be relying on only their personal experience or viewpoints.

I actually consider this one of the most important books a mother can read. This is more important for a son's future self esteem than all those books about the problems of rearing toddlers that mothers are encouraged to read. I feel so strongly about our collective ignorance as mothers that I had to write. In fact, I'm giving this book as a gift to other mothers. Moms need to read this book. Learn something.

Boys need this.......2007-01-13

Boys may be too shy to ask their parents about these issues. This book helps to open the door for further discussion.

Most popular reading in our university., .......2007-09-23

I was referred by a classmate that there is a book is very popular in our school library (in the university I am currently studying). And I have found ... it is this book "Mastering remote viewing....," this book is considered "unbelievable," no one thinks remove viewing is possible. While there is little considerable scientific evidence for remote Viewing, skeptics continue to deride it, claiming there is no such ability as Remote Viewing, in the terms by which it is presented by its proponents. That is, individuals have, under unimpeachable conditions of blindness and randomization, demonstrated the ability to describe persons, objects, places, or events from which the are shielded by reason of time or space, or both. But with correct methods as described in this book, you can actually achieve remote viewing. It is an amazing book.
But I could never get the book from the library (the waiting list is about a mile long), so I had to get this book myself from Amazon. Thanks Amazon.

I have this book too........2007-09-06

I have couple of books written by the same author, I've found them are very useful. If you are expecting a "literature" this is not the book for you, but if you want to learn "very unique skills" which not many human has... this author certainly has them all.

I have the book "Mastering Time Travel:Voyages Through Time" by this author, but it needs another skill which is "Remote Viewing" which I do not have this skill, either. So, save yourself a trip get them both at same time, my advice anyway.

I use this book methods to find missing kid........2007-09-06

Not many people know that you can actually use remote viewing ability to find missing items, like the author wrote in the book, there is nothing is impossible.

My neighbor kid was miss for two days, I use this book and found the kid for my neighbor, guess what-- I got $500 dollars reward for this.

Love this book and I am a detective........2007-09-05

What the previous reviewer wrote simply not true, I got this book, I love it. No other author can define remote viewing like Sapphire. I got so mad with this previous reviewer I wrote a comment under his remarks.

I was refereed by a friend who is a Psychic, she told me this book helps her a great deal, how to open the third eye, and how to have remote viewing, this is definitely the book.

Those insane reviewers, they have one thing in common, they wrote all the defaming words they can think of and zero good comment about the book, this is their style.

Watch closely, you will know what I mean. Don't fall for it.

Book Description

For all of our progress,the world stubbornly retains a male-dominated, competitive streak. Certainly the emphasis our culture places on enterprise has given us much, but what have we sacrificed along the way? Carol Lee Flindersargues that the more ancient values of Belonging (mutuality, cooperation, and generosity), traditionally associated with women, have been subsumed by thoseof Enterprise (individualism, competitiveness, and materialism), associated with men. In the lives of visionaries, artists, and mystics such as the Buddha, BaalShem Tov, Teresa of Avila, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, John Muir, and Martin Luther King Jr., Flinders offers models for a new kind of balance. Rebalancing the World urges us to incorporate the values we are missing in our lives for the sense of wholeness we all seek.

And The Truth Shall Set You Free!.......2007-08-29

Indeed, this is a book that must be read and understood. A simple reading reveals that it is truth incarnate. We must learn to relax and flow with the changes that are already upon us, because they are necessary for our complete evolution into spiritualized matter. What wonders will be wrought when matter becomes spiritualized! We will soon find out! Keep in mind that this book was written in 1991, yet its prophecies are already in fulfillment. Global warming is taking place, and the poles are indeed beginning their meltdown as the book suggests. Why? Because they must! As mankind begins his changes, the earth must respond likewise. As man is beginning to explore the realms that were once off limits to him because of his own isolating ideologies, the areas on earth that were once off limits are now becoming open to man as well. Non-fertile areas must become fertile as man begins to harvest from his spirtual center. The deserts are about to bloom, and nature is making those changes possible because of man's changing nature. Nature is responding to man, and will continue to respond to the positive loving responses that mankind was designed to have. Look at how nature is stumbling. She has always gone on the same old path dictated by the same old unenlightened orbit that mankind has travelled on for thousands of years. What has happened? What has confounded our good earth? The earth's wobble is no longer stable, weather patterns and weather behavior have become unpredictable. Why? Because the foundations that mankind have depended on are also changing and all of mankind is in an organized process of revolution to a new world. The earth is temporarily confused as to whether to continue with the old pattern, or begin the new. She has two groups of people pulling her in opposite directions! She is in travail! The new must take place, and our good earth will respond. She may groan temporarily as she changes, but change she must to adapt to the new gifts that are beginning to radiate from man. Growth is now exponential, so the wave is cresting ever higher on a daily basis. Even our animals and nature itself is changing. Look at how even the wild animals are looking to man for direction. The fear of man intrinsic in the wild animal is beginning to depart. The Garden of Eden is returning, and man's rightful place as a loving ruler of this creation is beginning to unfold. What must come next? It seems quite obvious that the next physical change that must occur is a magnetic pole shift. The magnetic force is already weakening as the postive forces returning to the Godhead are just about even with the forces of those stuck in self manufactured egos based upon survival. Once the magnetic poles shift, we know that the new leap into the new world has already taken place, and incredible changes will be forthcoming. Read the book for personal and spiritual insight. It is poetically written, and very easy to digest. It is time to ride the crest of the wave that you were designed to ride, and this book will bring it back to rememberence, lest you forget.

The Third Millennium.......2007-08-08

Really like the author... but haven't read this book... but expect to like this book.

Four, for the style.......2007-02-06

If reading how truly great you are and how everything is going to be truly great, this book is for you! But maybe one of his reasons Was to focus more on the positive?
I'm referring to black opps - on a global scale - of course. This May be a sign that something significant is around the bend.

How's about, "The comingling of planetary joy, human volition and the Star Maker's intent will swirl together in a unified whirlwind of love."

He generally seems to have reworded traditional (kabbalistic etc) terms and added a dose of new age sleep filler.

The paradox in all this, to me, is that we supposedly pass through our subconscious mind to access the superconscious...
Ken Wilber addressed this in his thoughts on pre and post egoic consciousness.
But neither of these authors address the findings concerning engineered artifacts Millions(+) of years old.

I can only imagine that we lost something along the way. This as to not having evolved enough...

But ultimately, we are talking Integration - as to cutting off or transcending aspects.

I also think he should've mentioned something about sexual energies. How to deal with This major force. It's These energies and polarities that run the universe.

But it still feels to be an uplifting book. This is an art you know.

What's funny for me is that in my days of shroom use, I basically experienced everything he wrote about. I indeed experienced this evolutionary leading edge... and that we are All on a cosmic Vector to something akin to godhood.
Won't bother with the infinitely darker experiences.

Don't judge!.......2006-08-04

This book is another excellent example of the channelings that are taking place more and more. These spiritual channelings are not showing up in most of the established churches because they are still stuck in the past. Channelings are showing up in poetry, books, screen plays, movie scripts, songs, billboards, cereal boxes and even graffiti. Seemingly unlikely channels are popping up all over the world. There is a reason for this which becomes clear when you read. But, read without judgement because when you pre-judge all you hear is yourself and what's the point in that? Read it, re-read it and then just let it simmer. When you are ready you will 'get' it.

My favorite book.......2004-03-15

I have been on a spiritual path for quite a while. Along the way I have studied quite a few teachings, including numerous books. This is far and away my favorite. This is God talking to people, using Ken Carey as a channel. If you can open yourself to it, you can verify the source of this very special book. Each page of this book is worth an entire book. Ken has the high honor of being the spokesperson for this message. You too may be so stimulated by this book as to experience the multidimensional Great Love that envelops us all.

Book Description

T. Lobsang Rampa was preordained to be a Tibetan priest, a sign from the stars that could not be ignored. When he left his wealthy home to enter the monastery, his heart was filled with trepidation, with only a slight knowledge of the rigorous spiritual training and physical ordeal that awaited him . . . .
This is his story, a hauntingly beautiful and deeply inspiring journey of awakening within Chakpori Lamasery, the temple of Tibetan medicine. It is a moving tale of passage through the mystic arts of astral projection, crystal gazing, aura deciphering, meditation, and more, a spiritual guide of enlightenment and discovery through the opening of the all-powerful, the all-knowing . . . .

Third Eye.......2007-07-27

First published in the early sixties, the Third Eye soon became legendary. Almost fifty years later, the legend has grown into credible acceptance as the wonders of meditation, telepathy, levitation, teletransportation, etc. have become subjects of serious study. The life of people in Tibet before the Chinese invasion, particularly in the lamaseries, where the author was raised, is engagingly portrayed as the adventures of the mind and journeys into extraordinary lands are revealed.

Cheated .......2007-06-22

I gave this book one star and I'd like to explain why.

Yes, it appears that it IS a hoax, the story and all of it, including the subsequent books of this gentleman. For a detailed account of this hoax, read "Dr. Christopher Evans - Cults of Unreason" in http://www.whyaretheydead.net/krasel/books/evans/monks.html

There, after the passage about Hare Krishna, you will find a very disconcerting narration of how Mr. Cyril Hoskins (some say it is 'Hoskin'), formerly of `Rose Croft', Thames Ditton, Surrey, England, turned into Mr T. (for Tuesday) Lobsang Rampa, clairvoyant pilot, doctor and lama from Tibet.

I encountered the book at first many years ago, close to its publication. I was thrilled to read it, being an avid lover of adventure and occult books, though the kite flying experience left me with my doubts about it, as the astonishing opening of the 'third eye' operation. The photo of the author, also, looked to me, at the time, too much of a Caucasian, but one might never know who might be who, so I overlooked the little inner voice telling me that something might be awry.

So I bought every book of his, and every one of them awakened in me the same astonishment of how could such things be, but again I chose to take it from the positive side and overlooked the suspicion willingly, again.

The most suspicious piece was one in which (his tenth book, I don't remember its name, now) he curses and nulls and voids as bad, negative, the prayers that people pray for and direct toward others, sick persons, because he was affected negatively by them. Now that was a bang on my head that told me that such a stance in spiritually minded persons is plain wrong, but again I overlooked it, though every time I hear about prayers for sick and hurt people, I am reminded of Rampa's statement.

After many years, in June 2007, during a research for a book I write about "Spirituality and Meditation", I came upon the subject of "the third eye" and Lobsang Rampa again. And lo and behold, I read with my own physical eyes about the hoax that the gentleman committed and which had been uncovered by detectives hired by a group of academicians interested in Tibet matters.

To cut a long story short, after this long "complaint" of mine, I decided on the spot to throw his books in the recycling box, having one because of city regulations.

Being versed in all matters spiritual, I am not in need of his advices in particular, though in themselves they may help many mount the road to less denser, spiritual, spheres, which I respect profoundly and recommend highly. So his books do not adorn my personal library shelves anymore.

I am disturbed by the hoax perpetrated on me and on many others by a man hungry for fame, money and personal influence, on the expenses of good willing people.

You, the reader of this review, may do as you feel right for you, not the least learn much about spirituality from his books, but there are many other books not less educative and informative, and true, mind you, than the books of Mr. C. Hoskins, the Englishman, aka T. L. Rampa, a fictitious Tibetan lama.

Good Read....But No Real Insight.......2007-02-05

This book gives you a history channel like walk through on the Tibetan way of life and their goal to achieve oneness. Page after page, is nothing but some guy rambling on about how hard life was for him as an intiate, and the experiences he's had. There is nothing to learn from this book. However if you are a person (like me) that loves to read, then this book is worth the five hours.

Interesting Read.......2007-01-26

I read the Rampa series back in my early twenties, and in the middle of the seventies, I got a lot of good things out of it, but come on...keep an open mind guys. The Author, Hoskin, had some good common sense advice, but read this web page; [...], before you buy into it completely.

It is sort of like the Sylvia Browne books. Lots of good stuff there, but see the web page; www.stopsylviabrowne.com, for balance. When it comes to spirituality, make up your OWN mind, don't let someone do it for you. Yea, it is a hoax, but it is also a parable, and they are good to learn and understand ourselves by.

Wonderful and compelling.......2006-10-22

I love this book! Whoever calls it poorly written fiction has obviously not spent much time in the East or suffer from an American mindset. I lived in India and Tibet for years and studied different religions. This book is really beautifully written and grabs your attention. It does seem to describe an age that has gone; but fact is things are changing fast in the east and old traditions are dying out. And for the author to be an Englishman who is said to never have visited Tibet, and to have such a great sense of the eastern mind is really quite remarkable. I often wondered if the author came across someone else's notes of the real Lobsang. I don't agree with some reviews that dispute the spiritual comments in the book as 'wrong' and not in line with Tibetan views; I find many of the comments real and on a more elevated level of eastern thinking than mere dogma. It is impossible to categorize eastern thought into exact word by word verbatum as the vision and angle of thought in the east often expands with the person.
This is a wonderful book for anyone to read, whether you believe in eastern philosophy or not. Of course, a staunch agnostic may find it extremely boring and even ridiculous from their lifeless and dead perception of life.

Customer Reviews:

OK READ.......2006-12-06

This book was ok but it could have been better. the stories were too short each story was only about 2 to 3 pages long so you get very little info.
on the places and ghost. This book was easy to put down and pick up again the next day it just did not keep me wanting to read like other books.

Not all that.......2006-10-12

I bought this book, because some one had told me a story about a house I was looking for was in it. Even though that person was mistaken, I was still up for a good ghost story. (ALWAYS!!)

My problem with the book is that it didn't seem to have an identity. After one story, there is a disclaimer saying it was fiction. Ok, that's really not a problem, however, it should be labeled as a book that it is fiction. That lead me to think, are the other stories fiction as well?

Additionally, some of the stories contained people who were not clearly identified. We don't know who they were. They were clearly guests of, employees at or patrons of a building but we don't know their background, relationship to the author or how they know each other. If the stories were true, where is the credibility factor?

Some of the places contained in the book are spectacular- and I have visited them in the past. Some of the stories are nice, a couple are just creepy. However, for me being a hard core believer in the paranormal, this book could use a little tightening and definition.

EXCELLENT ghost book!.......2005-08-04

This book is among my very large collection of ghost books. It is way up there as one of my favorites.

I think that this is a very intriguing book.

Nancy Roberts has written MANY books on ghosts and hauntings- and all of her books seem to be very well researched.

In this book- some of the haunted places mentioned are:

The Lizzie Borden House (Fall River, Massachusetts)

Del Coronado Hotel (Coronado, CA)

Whaley House (Museum)- San Diego

The Winchester Mansion- San Jose, CA

The Governor's Haunted Mansion- Woodburn, Dover, Delaware)

Ashton Villa (Galveston, TX)

The Pirate's House (Savannah, Georgia)- now a restaurant

Lucas Tavern- (Montgomery, Alabama)

Loudoun House- (Philadelphia)

Carnton Plantation- (Franklin, TN)

The Gaffos House- (Portsmouth, VA)

The Myrtles- (St. Francisville, LA)

Hotel Ione- (Ione, CA)

The Alexander-Phillips House)- Springfield, Massachusetts)

Inn By The Sea- (Cape Elizabeth, Maine)

There are many more haunted places not listed here that are in the book.

Each haunted location comes with a great black and white photograph - which is GREAT. I want to know what each haunted location looks like. This book has that great quality (which unfortunately many ghost books lack).

Also, all of the haunted locations in this book are documented and well-known haunted places.

FIVE STARS!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Couldn't even finish, it was so silly.......2003-11-10

At least the author's impressed with herself--she quotes herself in her preface. Badly written, barely edited, this book smells of "vanity press". Sorry I wasted my money on it.

Haunted Houses.......2002-10-31

This book is ok but it wasn't what I expected. It seems like it should be a childs book. In other words I've read better.
