Editorial Reviews

Review

Fear No Evil presents the idea of evil in practical, modern terms that can help us face our negative life experiences with a new light of understanding that will transform our personal pain into joy and pleasure. --Barbara Brennan, author of Hands of Light and Light Emerging

I would advise that this book be read with a willingness to take time to digest what is being said. This is not light reading, though it is Light reading, I assure you. --Pat Rodegast, author of Emmanuel's Books

One way to discern the value of a person's connection with the inner worlds is to observe the positive effects, if any that result from that communication. The Pathwork has been a most positive result of such a contact, helping many people find a deeper truth and clarity in their lives; therefore the energy and spirit embodied in these transmissions that gave birth to the Pathwork deserve our consideration, for they have demonstrated their value in the blessings they have already made possible. --David Spangler, author of The Call and A Pilgrim in Aquarius

5.0 out of 5 stars Psychology of the Human Mind, September 21, 2003

.
Suprisingly well explained. There are other models of human consciousness, such as Freud, or as Sri Aurobindo's, Essays on the Gita, or that of the Buddhist thought in Chogyam Trungpa.

Here the mind exists as:

1. The Conscious Ego Level, Our Lower Self - where we consciously decide our thoughts and actions.

2. The Unconscious Egotistical Child Level, also part of our Lower Self - it is here we unconsciously create faulty habitual thought patterns with decisions based on our avoidance of pain formed from our childhood lack of reason and continued in such irrational and detrimental ways carried into our adulthood. These habitual thought patterns then unconsciously react automatically in negative schematics from original childhood thinking and need to be re-patterned with our adult thoughts, which we do by acknowledging, re-experiencing and transforming such fears into positive courage of evolutionary growth.

3. The Supraconscious Higher Universal Self - this is what many others would label our higher self, the universal mind, the ccollective conscious that exists within ourselfs, the no-self, etc. This is our true self, the calm, knowing, patient self with resiliency and creativity of reacting in such a way beyond all negativity.

The secret to such succesful thought, peace of mind and self honesty, along with congruent actions, is that of finding the higher self and becoming a true observer of both the Lower Self - Conscious Ego, and that of the Unconscious Ego Self, which both produce the subsequent Mask Self, the false idealized image our Lower Self falsely believes we must be. In turn, we loose this mask, observe it and all our thoughts, both conscious and unconscious reactions, and subsequent actions, all as a true outsider, observing as our inside true higher self.

Of course there is much more to thinking, evil, fear and courage and this is well defined and outlined.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening! This book changed my life., July 31, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Fear No Evil: The Pathwork Method of Transforming the Lower Self (Pathwork Series) (Paperback)

This is the most enlightening book I have ever read and it changed my life. This book is about understanding how we think and operate as thinking, feeling, spiritual beings. It gets to the core of who we are and how to become truly at peace with ourselves and the world. All of the Pathwork books by Eva Pierrakos are great. I have also read "Creating Union" which is similar but focuses on relationships with others, lovers, friends, family, etc. I love the fact that there is no judgment in who we are. We are just human beings doing the best we can, and we will change when we are ready to change, and that's ok. We are always beautiful in God's / the Universe's eyes

By A Customer

This review is from: Fear No Evil: The Pathwork Method of Transforming the Lower Self (Pathwork Series) (Paperback)

This book changes the usual way we all have of thinking about our problems. The teachings in this book leads us to discover the roots of our emotional problems. You'll probably be amazed at how much you will discover about yourself, your mind and your needs. You may actually "feel" the release of life energy with every spiritual discovery you make about youserlf. Truly incredible.
