Editorial Reviews

Review

Moving out of fear-based reality and living as an empowered being has been my path for many years ... Thank you! -- Chantal Lapointe, Heaven On Earth Books & Gifts, Encinitas, CA

The Face of Power reads with the intensity of a novel so that this reviewer could not set it down. -- Richard Fuller, Senior Editor, Metaphysical Reviews


Product Description

THE FACE OF POWER is a controversial journey into the very real world of unseen energy, power, and affection, a world that is entirely accessible to anyone who believes in the power of the self – to every individual who feels that we are mysterious beings with the potential to do so much more. It is an intense, non-fictional and ultra-personal story about the dormant passion in all of us to rise above fear and venture at will into the Unknown – to see beyond this dream. The scope of this work is compelling and unprecedented. It is the awareness of a new generation of men and women of power.

Through real-life adventures in relationships, sexuality, lucid dreaming, the afterlife, illness, foreign energy, past lives, and the mysteries surrounding ancient cultures and the dreaming body, THE FACE OF POWER demonstrates how to unhinge the perceptual obstacles and fears that prevent us from reaching our ultimate potential. This book is written in the language of affection, emotion, and "energetic feeling" – the language of humanity – and is not connected to any existing mode of thought. It is designed to be utilized by people from all walks of life, for those who long for the attainment of any goal – whether that goal is health, joy, or the ultimate adventure of the Unknown.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Face of Power by Matt Guest, December 12, 2001
By S. Morgan (Santa Cruz, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Finally, a new book on shamanism that is not regurgitation of old ideas! The author's honesty is edgy, heart-felt, controversial and at times quite funny and his experiences helped me recognize/remember my own connection to the Unknown. This book has really changed the way I look at my life and has given me the motivation and clarity to pursue what I've been seeking for so long, a life of freedom, awareness and fullfillment. What a joy to be able to access these things in "real life" and to have a book that resonates the truth of our experiences and deepest desires. I was drawn in from the beginning to the author's style, his ability to paint a scene and convey the feelings of an event, and his passion for the unknown is contagious. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for something more out of life. Even if you don't know what that "something" is, this book will shine a light and show you what you've been missing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Motivating!, January 6, 2002
By A Customer
The Face of Power is an exciting, autobiographical and highly inspirational account of a fellow spiritual sojourner at the crossroads of the Divine and individual/soul awareness. In a matter-of-fact style, the author conveys an absolutely original sentiment, which seeks to illuminate the light within us, while exposing the hidden realities beneath the surface of contemporary society. By peeling away layers of debris and distortion, (heaped upon us by modern civilization and ourselves), he reaveals the pure essences of humanity, spirituality and mysticism.

A tangible feeling of warmth effectively connects the reader to the author by drawing them in, like a classic novel, yet the work is entirely based on actual, often humorous events. The author also reveals unique acts of compassion and understanding rooted in humility and faith by tapping into experiences (obtainable by us all) which support and define an inexhaustible, natural and compelling force surrounding the self, and the universe.

Prodigious. Unflinching. Timely. The book is filled with dreaming passages and energy theories derived from ancient texts. One feels the need to read and reread certain pages again and again, or drop the book open to any chapter, to find crystalized nuggets of pertinent information, sometimes so uncanny in their necessity -- especially at the moment of perception. The sense that Mr. Guest is onto something cannot be denied. Most of all, he gracefully evokes the strongest reality of them all: the reality of true, lasting, self-life conception.
