5.0 out of 5 stars Teachings you can't ignore, June 25, 2002

By

This review is from: The Lost Teachings of Atlantis (Paperback)

My previous review of this book was less than positive.
Now, after I've had the time to consider both the author's words and my own, I've decided to rescind my prior comments and offer an entirely new review of this material.
It's still true that the author offers no proof as to the actuality of his story. (Nor does he even attempt to.) However, this doesn't matter much due to the nature of the material presented. The teachings are still important and powerful and insightful whether the personal story is factual or merely fictitous.
After having some time to "sleep on it" and some days to contemplate the basic message I have to admit to the truth of the message being presented here. It is this "selfish, separate self" that underlies the problems and miseries of the ages. The more self focused and self serving one becomes the greater the miseries and problems of life become. And obviously this holds true for families, countries and the world itself.
It is this underlying concept that any valid spiritual pathway attempts to instill in it's membership. Although the message may at time be diluted or distorted due to a number of other factors, it is still present within most world religions.
The teachings here are not always easy, nor are they what most of us long to hear...however, they are based on truth, they are based on the fundemental issues of what it means to be alive on this earth and how we can further our true purpose in living. If your looking for someone to give you a feel good placebo and not disturb your personal slumber then I suggest you look elsewhere. ( I tried this already...yet the truth of the message seemed to lurk behind every problem, every face, daily serving only to confirm what I tried to ignore)
Humility and selfless love is the pathway back to God, back to our true selves, there is no other. As Mr. Peniel and a great host of other voices point out to us the time is growing short. Our actions and our selfish way will have REactions, this is unavoidable. The very earth on which we live may undergo monumental changes in the near future. And we as a species must ourselves undergo monumental changes as well! This book is much more about taking action than just accepting some new belief. It urges us to turn away from endless theological arguments and focus our energies on the basic problems of the human dilemma.
I support this message and hope there are many more who will do so as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish this world was a better place?, May 14, 2006

By 

Lotus (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Lost Teachings of Atlantis (Paperback)

Wish this world was a better place?
Wish you had control of changing things?
Well, you do have control of changing yourself. And only yourself, for sure.
If eveyone wanted to see themselves and change for the better, then this world would be a much better place to be. Right?!

Where to start? How to change? Start right here with this book.
This book rings your inner bell of truth, touches your soul, and if you really want to change, then you will love it. You will realize that you have found your way 'home' to true unselfish love and a better life. I have read other spiritual books but none of them felt so real and true like this one.

I read this book for the first time 4 years ago. I have read it so many times and will continue to do so. It helps me soooo much and leads the way for me; answers my questions. It's truly amazing! I get more out of it each time I read it. This book has totally and positively changed my life for the better. It gives me something real, true and worthwhile to live for. I hope you will read it, finding your path to truth and peace in your heart and soul.

I leave you with the other reviews to learn more about the book, specifically.
