As I read Twyman's book I recognized the identical concepts that have been taught throughout the ages. Sweedenborg, Emerson, Descartes, Thomas Troward, Abraham-Hicks, Ernest Homes and more notably the many works of Neville Goddard all show that this book is a regurgitation of one idea that is not secret at all. This book is a marketing ploy much like the Secret and in fact Twyman seems to continue to ride that gravy train by aligning himself with the law of attraction and implying: "But I have the secret to unlocking the Secret." Very enticing indeed but this book will probably leave many, just as empty.

When I first saw this book I was very excited with the apparent premise of moving beyond the simplistic and naïve message of The Secret and the law of attraction. Millions of people had been sold on the idea that they can manifest ANYTHING with a single thought. Those Millions are left starving for more substance and Mr. Twyman has rushed to serve these people with a brilliant marketing ploy called The Moses Code. The Moses Code is much like the Secret. A book, a ruse to provide the reader with the "secret handshake" that will awaken the genie-god to deliver shiny toys to your doorstep. This premise will always sell books.

The book borrows the very same ideas from Rhonda Byrne (The Secret) by posing the preposterous notion that something powerful, a secret code, was hidden from the world that would solve all of our problems--until now. In this book Twyman describes how God gave Moses the secret code during the famous burning bush scene in the third chapter of Exodus. He goes on to say that Moses used the secret code to perform many miracles such as freeing his people from captivity, turning his walking stick into a serpent, turning the Nile into blood, killing the first born of every Egyptian, creating plagues, and parting the red sea to destroy the pursuing Egyptian army.

Mr. Twyman attempts to share with the reader the same secret code that Moses supposedly used. A secret code that propels the law of attraction to new heights. A secret code that somehow became lost by Moses and just discovered in 2008.

"What are some of the things you most want to receive? Abundance? Your Soul Mate? The Perfect House? Your Dream Car? Chapter 1.

"And now you will use the name of God just as Moses did to realize your greatest dream. The process you're about to learn will align your power with the power of God, giving you the authority to draw into your life anything you desire." Chapter 2.

The Moses Code presents two sides to the manifesting issue: Ego manifesting and "soul" manifesting which is a noble concept but the book fails to make a reasonable case for the latter. What is the secret code? Say "I AM (a specific desire or state of being). A method in the book is given as a meditative technique. Write down on a piece of paper your desire such as financial abundance or the perfect relationship. Once you are alone and in a relaxed state, take some deep breaths and look at what you have written. Now say "I am [that]" Exhale as you say these words, and then as you inhale continue by saying: "I am." Repeat this pattern as you stare at what you've written. It is important that you feel the emotion of "already having" the thing you are asking for.

If you have faithfully followed the book and DVD "The Secret" or read and apply Abraham-Hicks teachings, you might gain a short-lived boost of inspiration for your manifesting efforts. If you expect to find profound insight and perhaps a missing key to the manifesting puzzle you will be left empty once again. The book is a mish-mash of ideas written in the form of a long blog entry and unfortunately is packaged as a magnificent discovery for the seeker. While Twyman points to an important dichotomy between "us and God," he still exhibits a rather archaic view of scripture based on assumptions, possibly from his Franciscan roots. It actually apears that Twynam at some time read a little Neville Goddard, Murphy or Ernest Holmes and decided to put these ideas in his own words and package it as a newly discovered treasure--all the while surfing the wake left behind by The Secret.

Like The Secret and the Abraham-Hicks works, this book is based on the law of attraction and manifestation. He brings to it a new tool, based on the meeting between Moses and God where God appears as a burning bush, and when asked his name says, "I am that I am."

He explains that the actual Hebrew words God used when he spoke to Moses were "EHYEH ASHER EHYEH." According to the Jewish faith, this name is not to be spoken aloud, because it is considered a sin to take the Lord's name in vain. This accounts for the fact that while it is an extremely powerful tool, it was not used except in the temple.

The literal translation is actually "I will be who I will be," but this is where he believes intent comes into play. If you intend to use the statement "I am that I am" to attract and manifest God's will, then that is what will be done.

He gives specific exercises to incorporate this new tool on several levels, as well as examples of positive attraction and manifestation.

He takes the law of attraction to a more spiritual level, beyond manifesting a new house and a good income, to giving, being one with God and other individuals. "The ego seeks to get, while the soul seeks to give." He thinks it's fine to manifest things that meet our physical needs, but it is important to continue to manifest things like, peace, joy, love, grace and patience.

His ten keys to manifesting everything you desire are:
1. Be clear- because "Be careful what you ask for, because you might just get it."
2. Be open - "Your mind is like a parachute, it works best when it's open"
3. Be willing
4. Be happy
5. Be focused
6. Be expectant
7. Be energetic
8. Be positive
9. Be true
10. Be grateful - "the Universe bows to a heart filled with Divine appreciation."

This is a positive book that gives us a Biblically based tool to support the law of attraction and manifestation.

I was incredibly excited when I purchased this book, as I am a big fan of Hay House and most of its authors. I have had incredible results using various tools and ways of manifesting, including those mentioned in The Secret, Abraham-Hicks, etc. I am a life coach, so this stuff is right up the alley.
Though the book makes a few important points that I think should have been put in The Secret ( such as how we should be less ego based and do things more for the good of others), Eckhart Tolle and J Krishnamurti provide more insight than in The Moses Code.
As one other reviewer stated, using I AM THAT I AM, or affirmations beginning with I AM have been used OVER AND OVER again. YES, they are powerful, and Troward, Neville, Elizabeth Claire Prophet, The Secret audio book, the potent master Key System. There is the I AM foundation, The Optimists's Creed...man, there are whole churchs and movements based on using I AM. And now Twyman comes along and markets this as some newly found concept.
But that is just the beginning: he makes very ignorant statements that can actually affect a person's ability to manifest ( ie use the law of atttraction, The Secret, etc). In the back of the book, Twyman has a section on what hurts a person's ability to manifest. He mentions that affirmations will not work if a person has underlying beliefs about oneself that are negative. THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF DOING AFFIRMATIONS OVER AND OVER AGAIN: THEY RETRAIN OUR MINDS AND THUS OUR BELIEF SYSTEM. THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE FOR. Psychology calls it 'cognative behavioral therapy', aka changing one's behavior. No, YOU DON'T BELIEVE YOU ARE AMAZING, A MILLIONAIRE, ETC UNTIL YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR BELIEFS BY DOING AFFIRMATIONS. I mean, even Western psychology knows this. Then, he makes an even bigger blunder: on page 178, he says a common problem is that people are not realistic. What does being realistic mean? It means one believes that one can only attain what he sees as being possible, judging by his situation, surroundings, etc. He goes on to give a 40 year old over weight man who wants to join the NBA as having an unrealistic goal. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WAS MARTIN LUTHER KING BUYING INTO WHAT HE WAS TOLD WAS POSSIBLE? HOW ABOUT EINSTEIN OR MOTHER THERESA? No, they believed in the impossible. Had he said ' It is important that one believes one's goal is possible' that is a different matter, as the above mentioned mavericks believed in themselves and the impossible. But he didn't say that, so people may end up going ' you know, I can't create world wide peace, buy that dream home, etc'. I can't believe Hay House published this.
There are MANY more worthwhile books for you to buy or check out from your local library. Some are as follows: The Master key System, The Power of Intention, any little books by Elizabeth Claire Prophet, Neville Goddard, Thomas Troward, The Path of Roses, all Science of Mind books, Abraham Hicks, Tolle ( esp The Power of Now), The Secret audio book, J Krishnamurti's books and teachings, Neal Donald Walsh...and so many others.
Yes, manifesting works. Yes, I AM is powerful. But this book is not. Look into other Hay House publications.

"Mose's Code: The most powerful Manifestation tool in the history" may be the most disappointing self-help book i had read. I suggest "Power that be (The Mayfair Lectures)" by Alexander Cannon as a very good spiritual manifestation book.

After reading the book, I find there is no Mose's code ! I cannot find Mose was using any method or concept of LOA mentioned in the book. Because the author's most of intrepretations of the scriptures make no sense and illogical. And i think they are wrong and nonsense. The author seems has a poor knowledge of the Bible and God.

Alas, Mr. Twyman has not done his due diligence (or any diligence at all, as far as I can tell).

The Bible, as most Americans need to be reminded, was not written in English. The word in Exodus 3:14 that King James translates as "I AM" should not, indeed, cannot be translated that way. Hebrew has no word for "am", "is" or "are". In fact, the word (ehyeh) shows up in the answers to most of Moses' objections. In Ex 3:12 (just two verses before), God says "Ki ehyeh imkha", which King James correctly translates as "Because [I] shall be with you." Again, in the next chapter, God says"v'anokhi ehyeh im pikha" "and I shall be with your mouth" twice (4:12 & 4:15). Why KJV gets it right these other times, but chooses to mistranslate in 3:14 I'll leave to others.

The point is, a little research would have let Twyman know he was acting on erroneous premises. This is underscored when he remarks that in answer to God's call in 3:4, Moses responds "Here I am," as though he were using the "I am" formula (Twyman even notes that some translations say "here am I", as though he were trying to demonstrate that he's done some research). Alas for Twyman, Moses' actual response has nothing to do with any "amming". The word translated in English as "here I am". is "hineni", for which a more literal but clunkier translation might be "behold me", or perhaps the French "voici moi". No Am's in the original.

This is not to say that Twyman's exercises might not be beneficial to some. It's just that they have nothing to do with Moses or any "code" in the book of Exodus. Which, given the book's title, amounts to false advertising.

I like many other people have read "The Secret" and believe with all of my heart that I do create my own reality. I hold myself responsible for my thoughts and my actions. I believe in intention and I have not wavered from this belief.

However, I always knew there was something more to this and this feeling has been a barrier to me in my own creation. Sometimes days flow easily and without much effort and other days I feel that I am the separate person that really does not deserve the abundance that this law of attraction offers. I also believe that we must give and our ego is a fear based illusion.The Single Mother's Journey to Wholeness: Hope and Help for Single Moms

After reading "The Moses Code", I believe that we are all one and we are here to manifest our creators will. I have a sense of urgency regarding this fact. We are at a moment in history where we must take our rightful position in this world and do what God would do at this point in time.

We are in a universe that is all knowing and does what we consciously or what we unconsciously ask for. We all have to live by the consequences of our thoughts and actions collectively. Until we become the change we desire, we cannot evolve and thus survive. This book not only showed me how to get my dream house but it taught me how to get to the core of my soul and connect to my source in order to create a better world.

By giving and seeing life through the eyes of God, I realize I am that! I am the voice and the eyes of the great I AM. I literally felt love within me for each particle and being on this earth while reading this book. I cried. I cried so hard my fiance did not know what was wrong. I was not sad. I was love....pure love. I am pure love. I am that. Love will heal the illusion of fear and separation.

I am grateful for the opportunity to read this book and I will share this with everyone in the world because I am only sharing this with myself.

The book is fine, but the sub-title makes a very tall claim 'The Most Powerful Manifestation Tool in the History of the World'. The more appropriate claim would be 'One of the most Powerful Manifestation Tools in the History of the World'. It is understandable that the author is proud of his religion and the Moses Code, but it is very telling that he has not studied or accepted other religions and 'codes'. If he cannot accept the validity of other religions/schools of thought, it contradicts the message of 'accepting without the ego blocking' presented especially in the DVD 'The Moses Code'. Of course, it was one of the other presenters in the DVD that mentioned the ego block. I hope the author understands the problem of the ego-block.

James Twyman takes the Law of Attraction to the next level by not only providing tools for manifesting, but also manifesting from our SOUL level, not the EGO level. We can manifest all the material items in the world and still feel unfulfilled. Manifesting from the Soul level creates inner peace, joy, and happiness for the Self as well as promoting these attributes into the world. The world is shifting and it is our choice (as a human race) on how we shift. Will we continue operating as a self-centered race concerned only about lack and what we need for ourself (Ego based) or will we move into love, compassion and peace for ourselves and others (Soul based)? Which world do you want to live in? James Twyman gives us tools and information to change the world in a positive, peaceful way by doing our part to create it. If you read this book with the intention of only manifesting material means, you're missing out on the True Gift.

Although I had heard of The Moses code, until seeing James Twyman in person I had no idea what was in store. After the live experience I immediately purchased The Moses Code.

The book is easy to read and good for any level of spiritual development. Whether one is just starting out on their journey or has been studying for decades, you will find this to be a wonderful resource.

James shares the importance of our focus on our highest good. He clearly explains how we need to have various levels of focus. He goes on to explain that whatever level we focus on, only those things below it will manifest. The rest are being neglected.

I would recommend this book to anyone who desires more clarity and fulfillment.

Loved it! I've been on a personal quest to discover as much about the original bible texts as possible and this book focuses on the story of Moses.

It's a very easy read and takes the Law of Attraction to the next level. The book begins with a description of the original story of Moses and what God said to Moses. It tells a tale that still rings true today. The book then applies this information to the entry level understanding of The Law of Attraction. But we're not done yet! It then takes you to a deeper understanding. But don't worry, you're notified that you're about to delve deeper and can close the book at anytime. For those of you willing to press on, good for you! This book should have been the "must have companion guide" to The Secret. The movie was really just a high-level teaser and this book brings it to the detail we need. The dos and don'ts if you will...

I definitely recommend this book. I also recommend you read it in public. It's sparked many interesting conversations!
