5.0 out of 5 stars Why is this man obscure and forgotten?, September 7, 2002

This review is from: The Message of the Divine Iliad (Vol. 1) (Hardcover)

Walter Russell's Message of the Divine Iliad has been a foundation of my understanding of the Universe and its operations for over 35 years. "Genius is self-bestowed....mediocracy is self-inflicted." Walter Russell gives the directions to becoming a genius at what you do, in all areas of your life. His teachiings can balance your life and make you prosperous and productive in ways you've never dreamt. Practicing what you learn will automatically and effortlessly eliminate a lot of dross from your existance

Russell teaches you the actual physical workings of the universe clearly and cleanly. Understanding this allows you to see the principles in action, and allows you to USE the principles in everything from your philosophies to your practical daily life. You are at once strengthened and..well, sort of invulnerable.

I have always loved the first volume more than the second, probably because the basics are in the first volume. These books are reasonably priced and are fundamental for anyone...and you will read them and read at them for years, gleaning more meaning with each new person you become.

His teaching is experiential: You read it, think about it, absorb it...then You live it, experience it. And people will wonder why you are so calm and peaceful in a world of Storm and Strife.

His foundation is still at work, all his work still available, his magnificent artwork still there...why is he obscure? discover him today.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, February 12, 2002

This review is from: The Message of the Divine Iliad (Vol. 1) (Hardcover)

Walter Russell said he could explain how the Universe works in just one sentence, and he does indeed. When I finally got to that line in the 1st volume, I felt like -- why don't more people just know it? It's so simple. And true. Of course, it's in the middle of a lot of prayers and automatic writing stuff, and stories about how to apply Russell's ideas, but I loved reading all of it. It's a book to meditate on and apply to all aspects of life. One day life on Earth will be much simpler and life-affirming, and people won't have to look so hard for love and joy. The ideas in this book can help bring that about. Let's hope, soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Message of the Divine Iliad Contains a Real Jewel, July 15, 2001

By 

Mark R. Aldridge (Louisburg, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Message of the Divine Iliad (Vol. 1) (Hardcover)

The First Section of this book contains philosophical text which is typical and conversational. It is in the second part, named 'The Secret of Light' where one can find the most clear, pure explanation of the universe imaginable, in the amount of text which normally fills a small booklet. Complete with diagrams, the explanation begins with God and flows out to all basic logical systems in a spectacularly balanced fashion. If you are a seeker, dont' miss out on this one!
