5.0 out of 5 stars Larsons Ideal Made Real, August 1, 2005

This review is from: Ideal Made Real or Applied Metaphysics for Beginners (Paperback)

As a student of Ernest Holmes I am interested in the authors and teachers that were of high influence to him, and after reading Larsons Ideal Made Real, I can understand Holmes' delight in this book. In simple yet direct language, Larson details the most important things that a person must do if that person is to realize the good they desire to manifest in their world. This book has brought about a return to simple and heart felt gratitude for me.

This review is from: The Ideal Made Real: Or, Applied Metaphysics For Beginners (Paperback)

This book is truly a beginners guide, to Metaphysics, I suppose. It is very repetative, almost as if they feel the need to drill it into your head. I say that because the Author continually repeats himself. He says the same thing in several different ways, and in some cases he says it in exactly the same way several different times. The book does makes alot of good points and gives you alot to think about. I just wish it weren't so redundant. I would recommend this book, but beware, you will need alot of patience to finish it. If this book teaches you patience where you had none before, as it was in my case, that's a plus. After reading it, you may come to find that that was the point.
