Book Description

February 21, 2012
In November, 2008, Pakistani Muslim terrorists attacked Mumbai. The 5 Star Oberoi Hotel was one of their targets. The Oberoi was also where M.C. Cannon, leader of the Synchronicity Foundation for Modern Spirituality in Virginia, and 24 of his associates were staying. Four in the group were wounded and two were killed. When rescued by SWAT teams and interviewed by the press, Synchronicity survivors expressed immediate compassion and understanding towards the terrorists. During interviews and press conferences following the attack, they repeated words of forgiveness, not accusation. This ignited an international tsunami of stunned curiosity and thousands of e-mail messages and phone calls flooded in. "I am inspired by your response." "How did you get to be the way you are?" And, "How can I learn to do that?" This book is a response to those inquiries.This book uses the Mumbai siege as a context for a revolutionary explanation of what true forgiveness really is and how to live the Holistic Lifestyle in a state of awareness where true forgiveness becomes instinctive.

Review

Cannon's book is a study in contrasts. It is the horrific retelling of the 2008 Pakistani terrorist attack on Mumbai that lasted more than 40 hours, leaving over 150 dead and many more wounded. But it is also the story of the "Holistic Lifestyle," a system that allowed Cannon and members of his Synchronicity Foundation for Modern Spirituality, several of whom were killed in the assault, to not only forgive their attackers, but to send them, in the words of one survivor, "our love, forgiveness and compassion." The book is told in powerful flashback interviews--one woman vividly describes having to extricate herself from the dead bodies on top of her. Interspersed with the scenes of terror are lessons about the Lifestyle, which is predicated on balancing "physical, mental, and emotional experiences throughout the day." If readers struggle with the "Lifestyle" lessons (and they will--talk of "Ultimate Myster[ies]" and "Pregnant Void[s]" abounds), Cannon repeatedly grounds the narrative by returning to survivors' firsthand accounts of the attacks. Whether readers leave this book as converts or skeptics, there's compelling reason to explore the teachings of the Holistic Lifestyle--few would be able to endure a tragedy of this proportion and be able to say, "Mumbai enriched our lives." (Feb.) -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

5.0 out of 5 stars The Light of Life February 21, 2012
Format:Paperback
This is such a personal experience for me to read all of the details of the terrorist attack that killed my husband and daughter. But yet, within the death and the darkness, there shines the light of love, the light of life, which in truth is eternal, as Master Charles so lovingly teaches us. All I know is that the wisdom of truth is contained in this book and it is the truth that sets us free from all possible pain and suffering. I know....I have been there. I know from my own experience of this life-changing event, the power of meditation and holistic living. The light of life shines through all of us - all we need to do is switch it on. Master Charles makes it so easy, so very easy. No more concepts, this is the experience of our essence as human beings, which is possible to experience in our everyday life. This book is a treasure to be shared with everyone we know....as soon as possible!

Certain to make you think.
This is a great starter for one to continue on with, with eyes wide open.
I was a tad urked by the marketing sheebang and pointers at the end of each chapter to log on to the marketers website.

But, that aside, the story itself is powerful.
We can question 'who am I and where am I going'
How much, of trivial happenings in life do our minds create into major drama?!
To go thru an ordeal such as the Mumbai terror attack and remain present and calm, no need to become a screaming drama case, but to calmly move through the motions, now that is the power of a mind at peace which can only be obtained through practise of meditation and self knowledge, putting practise into action under the most extreme circumstance!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!! February 13, 2012
By Donna J
Format:Paperback
Living in a holistic environment 24/7, it is not always easy to detect a shift in Consciousness in the midst of the different technologies that present themselves. I have read this book four times now, and each time I experience such radical shifts it leaves no doubt that it moves one past the limitations of the illusory ceiling. Brilliant!!!!!
