I followed Dr Baers work for many years and ended up taking over his Starcrest Academy of Interdimensional Law and Science, the book is an interesting perspective into the biocrystalline relationship to consciousness with many tools for assisting in the "ascension" process (I cringe at the word ascension). Randall later died age 33 years after denouncing his work. That is another story ... see the "New Age Nightmare". But ... the concepts are great

I purchased this book as a joke to illustrate everything that was wrong with the "new age" movement. The Baers, incidentally, having milked the new age for all it was worth graduated to a more time-honored genre; fundamentalist Christianity. They denounce the "new age nightmare" that they had previously espoused in this and their earlier work. I must give credit where credit is due: they do know how to work both ends of the nut-job spectrum.

But seriously, try reading the first page of this book. It is completely free of meaning or substance. I think it was actually written by one of those buzz-word generators that involve splicing obscure neologisms into grammatically correct but semantically meaningless sentences. My friends and I used to play a drinking game to see who could find the most outrageously nonsensical phrases. My personal fave is an illustration of a "crystal shower", sort of an ovoid bathing contraption in which the occupant is bathed in purifying waves of crystal blue persuasion, or pure spring water, or... somethingnessism.

I'd actually give this book 5 stars if it were classified as "satire".
