I have read a number of Elizabeth Clare Prophet's books, not to mention hundreds of other spiritual, metaphysical and 'New Age' tomes. But this must rank among my top ten favourite books on esotericism and the spiritual path. There is SO MUCH in this book that I defy anybody to review it subject-by-subject. The text is actually taken from a summer retreat of several days' duration at Mount Shasta: I only wish I had been there. Wonderfully-worded and profoundly powerful 'dictations' or transmissions from higher beings--from the Great White Brotherhood of the title--are intersperced with deeply intriguing and highly practical transcribed lectures by the author on a bewildering array of mystical topics. The astounding story of how George Washington and the Founding Fathers have been documented to have been divinely guided in creating the United States; the relationship and organization between the three kingdoms of divine life: of angels, elementals and humanity; a totally new approach to astrology;--all this is here, and that's just the start of it. Come to think of it, whenever I pick up this book, I really do feel as though I am at the foot of Mount Shasta, bathed in its spiritual Light, after all. In my opinion, this will always be an absolute classic book on the spiritual hierarchy of this world and of Their work in uplifting all peoples.

This is a great book. You need to open your mind and heart; and this book will enlighten your path, whatever it is. You can be a Christian, Jew, Buddhist or Hindu and I'm sure you will get something good out of this book. I highly recommended it, if you can open your heart to it. The end result will be the same you will love it as I did.

I pity the poor trees whose wood is used for paper to produce such a terrible book!. I've read many books proclaiming the wonderfull "TRUTH", but this one is the worst book I came across. What is this fascination in the West with anything eastern. The East had its day, and now it is the turn of the West. If you really want to learn something of value to you, look no further than the works of Max Heindel, Edgar Cayce and the late and great Carlos Castaneda. There is no royal road to the Truth. You have to earn it by the life you choose to live!.

Nowadays it seems lucrative to publish books with words and images burrowed from a long-forgotten and dead civilisation. This book celebrates such a dead past, and it does it very poorly indeed. How can anybody be taken in by such nonsense is beyond me!. Don't drink stale and unhealthy water when you have the living pure water close at hand. If only people would listen to the voice of the spirit inside, then they would save themselves a lot of effort and time trying to read such a lousy book as this. Save your money for THE REAL THING!!!!!!!!!
