5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for self-mastery help, look no further..., June 21, 2008

This review is from: The Magic In Your Mind (Paperback)

Book was written in 1961 before the stardom of Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer and Rhonda Byrne (The Secret). U.S. Andersen was way, way ahead of these sages. If you are looking for self-mastery, this book is a gem. I've read several of the author's other books (Three Magic Words; Success Cybernetics; The Secret of Secrets; The Greatest Power in the Universe) and this book is hands down his best work. The book is deep and can be dense in parts - yet I find myself referring back to it often.

Andersen kicks off his book with this passage which is the essence of what he tries to help the reader with:

"The man who lives through reaction to the world about him is the victim of every change in his environment, now happy, now sad, now victorious, now defeated, affected but never affecting. He may live many years in this manner, rapt with sensory perception and the ups and downs of his surface self, but one day pain so outweighs pleasure that he suddenly perceives his ego is illusory, a product of outside circumstances only. Then he either sinks into complete animal lethargy or turning away from the senses, seeks inner awareness and self-mastery. Then he is on the road to really living, truly becoming; then he begins to uncover his real potential; then he discovers the miracle of his own consciousness, the magic of his mind."

The chapter headings are:

1) The Hidden Cause of All Things
2) Discovering the Secret Self
3) The Greatest Magic of All
4) Self-Mastery
5) Mind Over Matter
6) Mental Imagery
7) The Power of Choice
8) Overcoming Opposition
9) Developing Skills
10)Creating Your Own Talent
11)How to Use Your Sixth Sense
12)The Mental Attitude that Never Fails

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing Book!, June 7, 2010

By 

Ms. Reborn "Re-born" (Fontana, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Magic In Your Mind (Hardcover)

I work in retail, and there was always one particular customer that always got my attention. She was so loving, so full of life and energy, so kind, and happy, and one day when I told her that I loved it when she came over to our store, she just told me to buy the book "Three Magic Words" by U.S Andersen, and to read the meditations every day, that they would help me. Well, it took me about a year from the time she told me, to the time I actually bought the book, and from then on my whole life, my whole perspective changed. I was enlightened and so hungry for more, so I ordered the secret of secrets, and then the Magic in your Mind. I have to say, that the third book, "The Magic in Your Mind, was the absolute awakening, or rebirth for me. Fascinating, and strange things, circumstances and occurrences started happening to me, and they happen every day in my life now. Every day there is a message, or an action or a circumstance that I know is the creation of divine intelligence. I am a seeker of truth and wisdom and believe that the main goal of humans is to grow, grow emotionally, mentally, physically and most important spiritually. I strongly believe that every person has the capacity to be born again here on earth, to be reborn, and U. S Andersen is one amazing man who the creator endowed with the gift of enlightening others. I can honestly say that I feel the universe talking to me, that I am in control of my emotions and my circumstances, and my life, and maybe cannot put into words all there is to say, but strongly recommend the books mentioned above. Read the books carefully, and read them several times, or when you feel you need a message, or an answer, randomly open the book and you'll find the wisdom you need.

This review is from: The Magic In Your Mind (Hardcover)

The book,The Magic in Your Mind, exploded my concepts of what I could do, be and have. This book is so rich and powerful, it made me as hungry for more as I had ever been, it set me on a journey to find greater truth. I have read,I dare say, hundreds of these great New-thought,self enhancement, self discovery books, and I would definitely place Magic in Your Mind in my top 10 of must read New-thought books.
The journey continues and I'm still hungry for more. I want to read more and I want to share the knowledge more. Read on my friend, there is so much more for us to learn. Reading The Magic In Your Mind will surely open your eyes to the greatness within. Believe me, when I tell you, "It's In There"!
