Paul Twitchell's book reveals practical tools that have helped me have amazing direct experiences with Spirit. How refreshing it is to read someone who gives techniques and information without some mystical mumbo-jumbo. The Flute of God is the real thing for people who want to begin directly connecting with Spirit and to discover our higher nature as Soul. The sections on the creative imagination are simply astonishing.

According to Paul Twitchell, the author of The Flute of God, Spirit or Divine Spirit is a creative Current from the heart of God, which creates, sustains and dissolves all matter in due course. This Spirit can be seen as Light and heard as Sound by whoever is open to it. We are totally dependent upon this Divine Current of God. But most people are unconscious of this fact.

To work with this Spirit to better our lives, we need to understand its nature and laws. For instance, the Law of Cause and Effect is a fixed law of the Holy Spirit that must be obeyed by all or adverse consequences would follow, according to Twitchell.

We are all made in the image and likeness of God; that is the higher side of every human being. This is what Twitchel calls Soul. According to him, when we identify with the body, we become paralyzed with fear and so cannot enjoy the best of life that the children of God are entitled to and capable of. This is clearly stated on page 140:

"The true purpose of any seeker is to know Soul as his beingness. This leads into wisdom and one becomes immortal. Those who know that the source of intelligence is Soul, attain immortality; those who do not know it remain attached to the material body and senses and are therefore subject to birth and death. Become conscious of the immortal Soul. When this consciousness of the immortal self is gained, all fear vanishes. Fear of death rises from ignorance, which makes us forget our immortal nature and identify ourselves with the material body, which is subject to death."

This book is to be read several times before one could absorb all the esoteric wisdom within its golden pages. Even though i have read it for over thirty times and still browse through it now and then, the deep spiritual truths it contains still ring with freshness each time i open it.

I truly recommend this book to anyone who is seriously looking for proper understanding of themselves, the psychology of Spirit and how to work with it, as well as gaining the higher knowledge of God. Twitchell also introduces and discusses HU, the ancient, holy name of God. This powerful word goes hand in hand with learning the deeper wisdom of God.

You can learn why our dreams often don't come true, the effect of wrong thinking to our overall wellbeing as well as how to manifest our heart's desires, and many more from this intriguing book.

The Flute of God, by Paul Twitchell, is a primer on the Spiritual Laws of Life. (I also recommend a book by the same name: Spiritual Laws of Life ) Just now, I opened the book at random to give a flavor of what is contained within. On p. 129, Paul writes, "This mental attitude [dwelling in the secret place of the most High] is of immense value in setting the individual free from worry and anxiety; as a consequence, our lives become more efficient and happier." That pretty much expresses my experience with it in a nutshell.

The Flute of God is about who you really are--Soul, immortal and creative. Unlike some other teachings, it is NOT about how to manifest things, although you will learn how to be more creative and better care for yourself. It's about why you are here--to serve not just yourself, but all life. It teaches you the real meaning of "Seek first the Kingdom of God and all else shall be added unto you."

This is not an easy read, but it it a compelling one. It is clear that Paul gathered wisdom from many sources--both physical and spiritual--and did an amazing job of converting these universal truths into a words. These things are a challenge to get your mind around! But somehow, he managed to get the job done.

If you want to run your life better, read this book--and then share it with someone you love!

This book has the keys to unlock potential that most people can't even imagine. IF you know your self to be a spiritual being this may very well be the book that awakens you to your higher potential.

This is the one book that I have read over and over through out my life. I have carried it in my backpack for years. I have several mangled and dirty dog-eared copies. I have them in strategic areas through-out my house. I refer to the book for my contemplation gems often. If you have ever wanted to know a true spiritual traveler,this book might be worthy of the heights of your consideration.

This is the best bokk I have ever read on the topic of spirit and the eternal. I have been reading and rereading it for over 20 years now.

This is a 1969 copyright and Twitchell was still fine tuning his new creation of Eckankar. Actually, there are some interesting concepts and factual information contained within this book, but Twitchell does not give his sources. Instead, Twitchell plagiarizes from other sources like "The Path of the Masters" by Julian P. Johnson. Twitchell is actually Westernizing the teachings of Radasoami Satsang and making himself the Living Master (mahanta). Since Twitchell was not given the leadership role (or even close to it) by his former Master Kirpal Singh (not Sudar) he decided to make himself the Master of all Masters. Twitchell accomplished this by creating a lineage of (Eck) Masters and had one of these (Rebazar Tarzs) initiate him as Mahanta (a title Twitchell created). By the way, Eckankar sees the "God" of other religions as a 2nd or 4th Plane (heaven) God. The position of Mahanta resides on the 14th Plane and the one true "God" for members of Eckankar (Eckists) is called SUGMAD. All in all this book is not a bad read, but one has to be always alert to Twitchell's game plan. This is why I gave the book only one star... just too much dogma and distortion... sorry.

This is not light reading, but it's worth the time. The book takes you deep into the center of creative power and puts you in touch with yourself as Soul, a Being created in God's image in that you have unlimited creative power. Goes beyond this as just a concept and allows you to see how this is actually true and how to apply it. A great read for true seekers.

Plagiarism is rampant in most, if not all, of Twitchell's writing, this volume is no exception. Compare the contents of this book with Thomas Troward's THE DORE LECTURES ON MENTAL SCIENCE. Troward's book can be found here on Amazon or downloaded for free from: http://websyte.com/unity/dore.htm. You would be better off getting the information form the original source, the presentation is more comprehensive, and is not marred by any lack of integrity.

A wonderfully freeing book about our true spiritual and eternal self, our God self "Soul"

This book has totally changed my life. It explains so much about who we really are.

We are not our mind or emotions or physical body. We are an eternal conscious spark of God! We can be free in this life time. We are not stuck in our body unless we wish to be. Be prepared to find out that most of what is thought is simply not true.

We are so much more then what others would have us believe we are.
This book helps show you how to go beyond your mind and emotions and travel into higher worlds and become God like and pure seeing knowing and being.

We are consciousness and we are free...if we are willing to set sail in that direction.
This book helps show you how! Its a wonderful book about spiritual freedom and how to obtain it now.
