Book Description

ISBN-10: 3980621146 | ISBN-13: 978-3980621144 | Publication Date: June 2, 2001

The first book that tells - what karma really is, - how it works, - what causes karma and - how to use it successfully in our daily life. Karma - the Mechanism is part of an authentic, ancient Indian manuscript. Though it originated millennia ago, its information proves extremely relevant to our present times. The current search for purpose beyond material saturation will in it find the keys to an expansion of human experience entirely unknown to the West. This key is not shrouded in obscure language nor demands the application of mystic techniques, it simply interprets life from a new angle. This new angle enables us to arrange the components of our daily life in a way that will automatically produce effective action and dynamically expanding cognition. For the first time Karma - the Mechanism presents this ancient knowledge and its practical application in modern English and makes it accessible to everyone in the West.

5.0 out of 5 stars New insights on the idea of karma, December 13, 2001

This review is from: Karma - The Mechanism Create Your Own Fate (Paperback)

In 1978 the author discovered an old manuscript in an ancient Indian temple which told how to access uncharted dimensions of human experiences. Karma: The Mechanism translates the ancient manuscript and provides new insights on the idea of karma. It's here presented as a simple mechanism of daily life which operates in the background and influences lives. An intriguing presentation.

This review is from: Karma - The Mechanism Create Your Own Fate (Paperback)

I have read countless spiritual and self help books in order to gain understanding about life, spirit, truth and how to help others. This book stands out as one of the more important, relevant and practical books on how to improve your life and of those around you and even the World. It finally explains in detail once and for all what Karma is, what it really means and better yet, how to improve it and to change it for the better. The premise itself is very intriguing in that Hermann was able to translate the Jain Manuscript which is a very ancient and wise text, in order for us to understand, comprehend and to benefit from its timeless knowledge, information and important messages. I can honestly say and full heartedly tell you that this is one of those books that will change your life for the better, it definitely has changed mine and it is also very thought provoking, detailed in its translation and is fun to read as well.
