I have not finished this book, but I have about 3 hours invested in it. It's message had an impact in my state of mind that gave me a sense of optimism as to what is possible if we can learn to treat our bodies and our mind as a resource we have learned to keep under tight control. The message really gets down to why are we not creative, and if you can learn this, you can understand how the exercises he gives can lead to higher levels of creativity, not just when you want to be more creative, but throughout the day.

The word Unconscious is key to this book. As such, one see's this book written close to two decades ago, has no reviews, and sells used for half the cost of shipping. The author Harman has written other powerful books with major heavyweight authors who admire him (e.g. Margret Wheatley). The reality is, people do not take serious their ability to have any impact on their Unconsious thoughts, or that if they could, why bother.

I bought this book years ago, and it did not stick. After reading the book Power of Now, this book has found its mark with me. This is a book that fundamentally is about how to create a mindset that will enable you to not only accomplish more, but become fulfilled with a sense of your own potential.

I would not buy this book if you are skeptical about one's own Unconsiousness, that exploring that area is too illusive to try.

The content about Rene Descartes alone is worth the reading. He uses his story to tell us what we can do today. It is in Chapter 3 "Looking Where the Light Is" subsection "The Man Who Dreamed Up Science". I had no idea how Rene had accomplished what he did, but this book tells the reader the man knew. Yet those who write of Rene tell us the Rene was overtired when he used these so-called methods, and they were not real. "The Taboo Against Inner Knowing" explains why no one pays atttention to these approaches today. I guess that is why no one will likely ever read this review - and people will be able to buy to book used for less that a dollar.

Very different from other more popular books on creativity, like The Artist Way, for example, wich compared with this is just what it is anyway, an empty pretentious book with a beatiful cover whose only object seems to be to make you feel oh, so special, so arty, so morningpage like (actually not a discovery of the author, it was mentioned half a century before in the wonderful "So you want to write" and in Dorothea Brenda's book about writing. "Higher Creativity" actually teachs you many things. Wonderful and interesting facts. It gives you a completely fresh new look on the world and in yourself.It gives you not only the technics but, more important, the why, the base of the thinking to understand why you are more than what you think you are.

And apart from being efective in teaching is really, really, well written and interesting. I've felt like I wanted to study (not only to read) the whole book and I have started taking notes from it.

I could hardly put it down.
I enjoyed it so much,
I read it 3 times and each time i read it I got more out of it.

Most spiritually aware individuals learn after several hard trials of believing New Age teachings: there are dark forces and nurturing forces in the unseen spiritual world. These forces desire and cultivate relationships with men.

Demonic forces gain a right into the lives of individuals when they participate in the things of demons. Hypnosis, aka mesmerizing, was introduced by a man named Franz Anton Mesmer. Another satanist, from France, who later was saved, reported that Mesmer was known in satanic circles. Satan directed Mesmer to introduce hypnosis to people.

In trance states, demons enter in. There are other avenues for demons to gain rights. Often, when a strong demon comes in, strange events begin to manifest in a person's life. This is reported by the author after he attends a hypnosis session and also a week long trip to a New Age camp.

Rather than recognize that evil had entered his life, he concluded that some vague, generic force was calling him to greater learning. Demons always introduce new corruption. More corruption brings more demons, and they are then able to gain more control over the host, and then to begin to afflict others. For example, the author, after his New Age camp, began to channel. Channeling should more accurately be titled, "Channeling Demons".

While couching the introduction of demonic works in scriptural, Biblical chapter titles, the author teaches ideas such as automatic writing, yoga, buddhism and hypnosis. Titles like "The still, small voice" and "Bringing in the Harvest" mislead young Christians to think the author is Christian. But, beware! This is heavily leavened material.

You cannot mix lies with truth and call it truth. All these powers and practices, including Remote Viewing, are performed in relationship with demons.

Caveat Reador! Let the Reader Beware!

If you own one of these books, throw it out.
