5.0 out of 5 stars
Stuart takes us thru the Morph and reveals a celestial dimension, April 30, 2008
This review is from: The Art of Redemption (Paperback)
The Art of Redemption is definitely worth 5 stars if not more. In this review I will give a summary of the book and respond to some of the criticisms that other reviewers have left for the book.
My own personal experience was that many times while reading the book I had this feeling of resonance in my body, deep at my core. I know when I have that feeling that I should trust. Stuart also says to trust your feelings.
Stuart is a mystic and a trailblazer of the astral world and other etheric dimensions. The Art of Redemption builds on Stuart's other books, especially
Whispering Winds of Change: Perceptions of a New World,
Infinite Self,
Sixth Sense,
God's Gladiators, and particularly the CD set
The Journey Beyond Enlightenment - The Next Step in Your Personal Transformation, By Stuart Wilde (6 Compact Discs and a CDROM Workbook, Original Nightingale-Conant Edition). (If you're not really familiar with Stuart Wilde's other books, this is not the book to start with unless you've been on the path for a long time. You might want to start with the
Sixth Sense: Including the Secrets of the Etheric sublte Body (which talks about the etheric body, your shadow, and the etheric worlds) and skip God's Gladiators for now). God's Gladiators begins by saying "After years of trying, the veil between this world and the next lifted. At first, the walls in my home started morph from solid to fluid, and then I saw the eternity of creation beyond the concreteness of our earthly existence." Art of Redemption picks up there and goes forward.
Stuart says that he verified what his teacher told him 25 years ago, that the Grail is real and that in fact it is a hidden transdimensional doorway of our redemption that we can enter, and that there is a timeless, blissful world beyond. Even approaching the doorway evokes bliss and the reconciliation of the self. Stuart gives us more clues on how to find and enter the doorway.
The Morph is the doorway to the Grail. Stuart started to see the Morph in 2001. He says, "Perhaps the Morph arrived when it did because it's here to preside over the changes so that humanity sees the answer and starts to head in the right direction. The plan is vast: it's the interlacing of the invisible celestial dimensions with our 3-D world. The Morph is a supernatural dimension descending on our 3-D world."
Stuart goes on to describe the mirror-world, your shadow self, going beyond the ego and taking the journey beyond enlightenment to find liberation. But Stuart confirms what Edgar Cayce said, that to get to the celestial worlds you have to go thru the dark. Stuart talks about the dark side, not only the dark side of humanity, but also the Matrix and those beings in the astral or other dimensions such as ghosts, ghouls, the grays, etc. Reading all this can be very scary. But he also says there are now celestial beings here to assist us, who are working tirelessly to retrieve humanity and the planet from the abyss. Stuart says that redemption is the process of reconciling the light and dark within in order to become whole again--a theme from God's Gladiators.
So Stuart says the trick is to raise your energy and perception, reconnect with your sacred self, call on the celestial beings for help, let the "ivory tower" of the ego fall down, reconcile your light and dark side, and eventually you'll be able to go through the Morph and the Grail doorway to the celestial worlds beyond. Stuart said that based upon the visions he has seen that eventually the entire Western world may fall apart. However his teacher told him 30 years ago that when things got really bad on earth, that initiates would appear to help people and take them to a sacred, noble place in an invisible dimension and that the process of entering one of this space would be no more difficult than walking across the room.
I don't agree with everything Stuart says. Having said that, allow me to respond to some of the comments in Mr. G. Hoover's 1 Star review entitled, "What does the Lady of the Lake have to do with Redemption?" Mr. Hoover's review states, "Aliens, interdimensional ports appearing over the bed, people jumping up and down on the bed looking thru the port, morphing and the Matrix movie. Excuse me what does this have to do with rid the self the ego and to learn forgiveness of self? Where's the information aobut the Three Graces of tenderness, generosity, and respect shown on the back cover. Where is the age of forgiveness? OH I understand all of that is on the other side of the interdimensional port but according to Wilde beware of the black shadows and the ghoul that will follow you back thru the portal. Very sad and disappointing!" Here are my responses: "What does the Lady of the Lake have to do with Redemption?" Chapter 6 states that the myth of the Lady of the Lake was not just fiction. The Lady of the Lake is the rebirth of the feminine power and feminine spirit, the goddess, and deliverance to the other side. It becomes a heavenly force guiding your life. "Aliens": Yes, Stuart says he had close encounters of the third kind. Stuart also talked about aliens in Sixth Sense. "Interdimensional ports appearing over the bed... and morphing": Stuart was describing one of his first experiences with the Morph in 2001. He said the Morph is "a phenomenon, a transdimensional overlay, whereby a room changes its imprint or ambience in the construct of time and space, and the surrounding reality takes on a new form. It's as if the room exists in two states: normal and solid looking and abnormal and not solid at the same time. The walls appear to go soapy looking and the floor seems to become hazy and unclear, disappearing even though you know you're standing on it. Hazy striations begin to swirl in the air, floating together to form vortices and circles that you imagine that you can travel down--doorways calling you to another world. What we found, to our amazement, was that even our bodies seemed to go from solid to not solid at all." Stuart said that there was a "vortex" that appeared above the bed and that he and others stood on the bed to experience the vortex. Mr. Hoover invented the criticism about people jumping up and down on the bed. "... and the Matrix movie" Stuart does talk about the Matrix and the Matrix movies. Stuart refers to the movie as an analogy because it is similar to what he has experienced with the Morph. Regarding the movie, he says that at the end of the trilogy Neo embarks on the final journey into the heart of evil in order to save Zion. He embraces the dark, and the light and dark are joined and the dark disintegrates into a thousand pieces and melts into the light. Stuart says this is similar to your deliverance and the quantum burst of light that occurs in the final moment of your redemption. "Where's the information about the Three Graces of tenderness, generosity, and respect shown on the back cover." I agree on this as I don't recall reading about the "Three Graces." There is some related information on pages 41-52, 99-100, etc. But I believe that the 3 Graces were in the draft and then Stuart pulled that section out to save it for his next book called "Grace." "Where is the age of forgiveness?" See page 77 and maybe 178-179 and 196. "OH I understand all of that is on the other side of the interdimensional port but according to Wilde beware of the black shadows and the ghoul that will follow you back thru the portal." Stuart said the first time he made the journey to the celestial words, the dark beings saw him come back and came after him. But then he says that "you don't have to worry about that" because protected pathways have been built, and the celestial beings are here now to help humanity. "Very sad and disappointing!" Actually I disagree because there is a very uplifting quality about the book. Stuart does describe the dark side in considerable detail--some of which may just be the karma of humanity. But he also says the celestial beings "are here, not to fight the dark, but to encircle it and cut it off from its power base, degrading it to impotency. This means that places are being cleared, and when the ghouls are ejected from an area, the human tyrants fall because they're powerless without the darkness holding them up." And "Embrace the softness of the Goddess and surrender, and I'll see you at the side door, the one that leads to the blissful heavens that I spoke of. Remember you don't have to look for the gap because it is everywhere."
Finally I would say that if you decide not to read this book, continue to do the practices in Stuart's other books while you wait for Stuart's new book
Grace, Gaia, and the End of Days: An Alternative Way for the Advanced Soul which will be released in 2009.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A complex book., November 27, 2008
This review is from: The Art of Redemption (Paperback)
Over the years I've blown hot and cold in regard to Stuart Wilde. The man has such an enormous ego that I have had problems finding my way past it to what he is trying to transmit.
So what to say about the Art of Redemption?
Firstly, never forget that Wilde is a trickster. Some of what he says is gospel, some of what he says is deliberately misleading and some of what he says is just plain wrong.
Does this mean the book is no good?
No at all, in fact just the opposite. What it does is force you to make up your own mind. It's an exercise in discrimination, clothed in what appears to be a curious logic.
Read the book as an active meditation. Observe the way you react to the statements he makes.
Remember that how you experience the astral is coloured by your own beliefs, just as how Wilde experiences the astral is coloured by his beliefs. His descriptions are his own, so do not expect your version of the Morph to be anything like his.
Read with tongue firmly placed in cheek and you will do fine.
