5.0 out of 5 stars powerful, very powerful April 29, 2012

By Katie Ryder

Format:Paperback

Amazing. Hoped it would be and it is. Kramer has packed this book with tools and ideas to help clear a path for anyone interested in personal empowerment and the deeper meaning behind our everyday lives. So many interconnected avenues are explored such as magic, mythology, philosophy, religion, politics and emotions - and all of it connects back to the individual. There's a coherent thread of awareness that runs through the whole thing. The book is also beautifully written, which is pretty rare with spiritual books these days. It's just a pleasure to read the prose. You can feel how it has been lovingly crafted and it shows how much this guy actually cares about his subject matter.

A super blend of cutting-edge spiritual insight and deep wisdom, all phrased in ways that give you faith in humanity again! There's some extraordinary material in this book that's bound to challenge even the most open minded of readers. But I think that's half the point of reading it, to push oneself and have some of our beliefs and expectations challenged. I found some hugely helpful things in here that seem shockingly relevant to my own life. I imagine a lot of people are going to feel that way. This is a very heartening book and will make you feel more confident about yourself and excited about the wonder of our adventure here on earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you !! August 19, 2012

By J. Stahl

I would like to communicate a heart felt thank you to Neil Kramer for helping me make an important course correction. Like many seekers, my story starts in not resonating with the bible. Although raised by agnostic parents, occasional summers were spent with cousins who were devout Christians. My uncle would read to us from the bible every night, which created more questions than answers. Fast forward to college, classes such as Comparative Religion, Theories of Consciousness and Understanding the Old Testament did not answer my questions either. One day while perusing a book store in the mid 80's, I ran across a book titled The Finding of the Third Eye by Vera Stanly Alder. The book stated the author investigated "Ancient Wisdom". I had no idea what Ancient Wisdom was, but maybe it could answer my questions. I found it! Ancient Wisdom! That's what I've been searching for. I gobbled up her book faster than a chocoholic gobbles up a plate of triple chocolate chunk fudge stuffed brownies. Fast forward to 2004/2005 and I'm becoming pretty good at manifesting amazing things! As Morpheus would say, I was "beginning to believe"...

Then, oh no! Sidetracked by conspiracy theorists that shall remain un-named. All the momentum that I'd built up the previous years, stopped in its tracks. I then spent several years preparing for the economy to collapse, riots in the streets and death by chemtrail. By the time 2011 rolled around, the sense had been completely knocked out of me and I didn't even realize it. I was broke, unsuccessful, unhappy, unhealthy, and most importantly... manifesting crap, according to THAT mindset.

One day I ran across a Neil Kramer podcast. I found myself back on the path to clarity, knowledge and inner vision immediately. Listening to Neil's podcasts as well as The Audio Cleaver, I made one of the most important course corrections of my life. I let go of "the sky is falling" mentality that had gripped my paranoid brain and once again embraced life. Having become so familiar with Neils work, I pre-ordered the book!

Synchronicities began popping up immediately upon reading the book. For instance Neil writes about "becoming the wolf" through meditation, rather than understanding the wolf through observation. The next day (!!!) a "Wolf" magazine arrived in my mail box. I've never subscribed to, or ordered a Wolf magazine. A few days later I was googling "archons" and ran across a PDF titled `The Hypostasis of the Archons'. I printed it for future reading. The next day (!!!) reading the chapter Imperial Secrets, Neil writes about The Hypostasis of the Archons.

Neil's earthy articulation of Ancient Wisdom, nesting dimensions, Archons, and the Nag Hammadi Texts (which I began reading yesterday) is simple, yet incredibly deep and profound. The Unfoldment has found its place in the top 10 list on my bookshelf, along side classics such as The Power of Now, The Four Agreements, Loving what is, and Ask and it is Given.

Chapters such as School Bus of Selves, Ogres Bearing Gifts and Paradox are works of art. When reading Ogres Bearing Gifts, I wept through the entire chapter. I'm a Gemini sun/moon/mercury, so emotion is not my thing. When someone can bring deeply buried pain to the surface so that it can be recognized and healed, I am most grateful. Ogres Bearing Gifts did just that, thank you.

Neil is a gifted writer and if you like to dig deep, really deep, you'll enjoy the book.

Five stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Wisdom June 6, 2012

By Kate

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Wanted to just "ditto" Katie Ryder's review, but THE UNFOLDMENT is too exceptional not to add to the recommendations...

This book is loaded with layers of truth from a voice who KNOWS. Like Kramer's essays and interviews (highly recommended) every word is charged with meaning, and a deep read is rewarded in kind. You get the sense that the wisdom he's sharing is just the tip of the iceberg and a closer look behind the veil opens into an expanding reality that is attainable--and is worth the effort required for attainment. That 'more to be revealed' feeling is rare for me, and there's plenty of depth and hidden knowledge already embedded here. Too often instead being elevated to higher understanding at the end of yet another book, I'm deflated by the sense that the wizard behind the curtain is almost as befuddled as I am. Not so here.

Kramer brings ephemeral concepts down to earth without diminishing their essence, meeting any reader where they are. His certainty in the awesome power of human consciousness, with tested common sense tools for directing that power, make me feel totally capable and excited to take on my own unfoldment...like it's the most natural thing in the world. A few times while reading I found myself thinking, `wow, a path has been under my feet the whole time, I've just never seen it this clearly--why not just step onto it right now?'.

By the end of the book (re-reading many passages multiple times) I was exhilarated. I have the distinct feeling that the words and the narrative have already anchored a pattern within that will naturally expand as I seed it from here forward.

THE UNFOLDMENT goes on my very small shelf of essential wisdom, next to Eckhart Tolle's A NEW EARTH. After finishing I ordered five more copies to pass along as an answer when someone genuinely asks "what do you think?". This book is a gift, and a must-read, for anyone who is remotely interested in consciousness, the experience of being human, how those are enmeshed with the natural order of the universe, and why it's worth it to keep exploring.
