Book Description

August 21, 2000
"The Spiritual Code" is a unique book that you will treasure throughout your life. Codified and summarized within are twelve fundamental spiritual laws which are inseparably linked with happiness and success. These twelve "time-tested" principles are drawn from the sacred texts and teachings of the world's great relgions and philosophies, including Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Jainism, Sikhism, Taoism, and Shinto. Supporting text is likewise culled from smaller traditional and tribal religions and various newer religions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to emphasize the universality of these cardinal principles.

The 12 spiritual laws explored within are profound and have practical application to our lives. While they are established truths, widely-held among the diverse religious traditions, they often come to us in bits and pieces or are obscured in the details. We tend to forget such absolute laws of life when they are most needed. "The Spiritual Code" presents these truths in a manner that is organized and easy to understand, facilitating their comprehension and application. This is a book that you will want to read and reread, as your strive for a more enjoyable, meaningful, rewarding, and successful life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly profound, October 10, 2000
This review is from: The Spiritual Code : The 12 Invisible Laws That Govern Our Universe (Paperback)
For me reading this was like looking into a deep and beautiful river (as suggested by the cover), full of light, life and music and being a bit overwhelmed, such that I can't take it all in and plan to keep coming back. You have to be in a philosophical mood to read a book like this, which I am regularly. I was taken by the use of scriptures from the world's religions, so that the 12 spiritual laws really have the air of being the truth behind the truth, the essential principles behind all principles. Fascinating new spins on old ideas like karma and spiritual tests, and illustrated by the author's experiences. I gave the book 4 stars because I would have wanted more application and examples to unpack these rich insights. An excellent book though and I look forward to his next work in the same vein, as he matures in his telling of his insights.

This review is from: The Spiritual Code : The 12 Invisible Laws That Govern Our Universe (Paperback)
Some books jump out at you because of their appealing covers, catchy titles, or other devices.

"The Spiritual Code" is not one of those books, though it does have a fairly appealing cover if you are literally thirsty. The subtitle however, "the twelve laws that govern our universe"; puts this book in a category, for me at least, of "thoughtful, or thought-provoking". And Dr. Frederick Swarts not only delivers in that regard, he educates. As an authority of sorts in both scientific and religious fields his perspective on these twelve cardinal success laws is most penetrating. From the chapter on the law of intention I was struck by this nugget: "Negative thoughts and doubts not only fail to be harmonious with the universe, but mobilize countervailing forces opposing the goal's fulfillment. This law relates to the centrality of energy in the cosmos."

This is Dale Carnegie meets Stephen Hawking and more. Definitely a workbook; no tripe or feel-good-candy-for-the-soul here.

My one criticism of this book though, is that there are not more personal anecdotes(there are some good ones, however) and/or vivid illustrations of how these laws apply or exist in the more everyday realities of life.

Overall, however, much food for thought; a helpful guidebook for self-realization and analysis that I heartily recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Chicken Soup & Spice for the Soul", October 11, 2000
This review is from: The Spiritual Code : The 12 Invisible Laws That Govern Our Universe (Paperback)
Upon reading through the 12 Spiritual Laws presented in the Spiritual Code, the sudden recognition of each was brought back to my rememberance.

I attribute this to the plain writing style of the author, counter balanced with scriptural references from the religious text of the world's great religions, as well as the testimonies of how The Spiritiual Code was revealed in the author's life.

The cardinal resolutions after each chapter provides codified guidance for ones life to help reinforce the Spiritual Code. I can't wait for the pocket version of The Cardinal Resolutions for Realizing and Practicing the Spiritual Code.

I will carry and read it everyday, as others surely will.
