This review is from: Thinking and Destiny (Hardcover)

Thinking and Destiny by H.W. Percival is one of the most remarkable books ever written. It deals with the age-old question, Quo Vadis? Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? He explains how our own thoughts become our destiny, as acts, objects, and events, in our individual lives. That each of us is responsible for these thoughts, and their affects on us and others. Percival shows us that what appears as "chaos" in our daily lives has a purpose and Order which can be seen if we will begin to focus our thinking, and begin Real Thinking, as outlined in his masterpiece. Percival himself acknowledges he is neither and preacher nor a teacher, but presents to us a cosmology based upon Intellingence. A Universe of Order and Purpose. No metaphysical book has ever presented the clear, concise, information that is available in this book. Truly inspired and inspirational

This review is from: Thinking and Destiny (Paperback)

Percival's "Thinking and Destiny" should end any serious seeker's search for accurate written information about life. The author demonstrates that he knows whereof he speaks. Completely unique in this genre, there is no fuzzy religious language and no speculations.

If you wonder about who you are, why you are here, the nature of the universe or the meaning of life then Percival will not let you down. Especially interesting are his numerous explanations that clarify such mysterious topics as original sin, immaculate conception, the fall of man and the reason for the sexes. His answers to these questions are lucid, authoritative and surprising. The road ahead for each thinking person is made plain and his exposition of The Great Way ranks as the best ever written.

Dense with details and clearly presented, like all great work Percival reduces his tome to principles that any sincere person can understand and do. One thing for sure: after reading "Thinking and Destiny" you will have set into motion the thoughts that will propel you toward your real future. Be prepared!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incomparable, April 21, 2002

By 

David Crocco (New Palestine, IN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Thinking and Destiny (Paperback)

There must be others like me, who, even as children realized that something was wrong with the world. Things were not right, and worse, the explanations given for the questions we raised were unsatisfying, if not outright lies. Becoming an adult only magnified the distance between what was and what we thought should be. This book explains as none other, and I think I have read them all, what life is and what it is not. The difficult truths Percival reveals are often what we might have feared but dared not think: we alone are responsible for our lives.
This is tough stuff, and Percival's solutions to discovering who and what we are are enough to frighten away the casual pop
seeker who thinks he is enlightened already. But for the rare individual who is weary of the incessant emptiness of life, Thinking and Destiny is a gem beyond price.
