5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless advice, July 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Unto Thee I Grant (Rosicrucian Library, Vol. 5) (Hardcover)

I keep a copy of this book on my Sanctum and turn to it often. Reading the aphorisms in this book is like being counseled by a master of the mystic arts. The advice on how to live and the goals we should strive for are as fresh and true today as they were when they were first taken down. A must for any student of mysticism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and True, August 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Unto Thee I Grant (Rosicrucian Library, Vol. 5) (Hardcover)

This book is divided into many small, digestable bits of intelligent writing. Though written in an older style of English (and also translated), this book was not a difficult read. In fact, it reveals many truths about how to see the world and live in it - honestly, lovingly, etc.
There are a few references to servitude, and the book definitely puts men in charge, but if you read it as everyone being servants (to God, Jesus, fellow man, etc.) and masters (of self), you can view it in another light.
Anyway, this is a deep read and is recommended for anyone who wants to understand themselves better. I especially like the reasoning for not ever being sad or angry.
Nice, enlightening read. Take it to heart.

3.0 out of 5 stars Archaic and impenetrable, September 16, 2002

This review is from: Unto Thee I Grant (Rosicrucian Library, Vol. 5) (Hardcover)

I'm sure this book contains many insightful teachings, unfortunately, I couldn't understand any of them. The language is archaic at best, which is not surprising since these writings are supposedly over 2000 years old. I gave up half way through. I'm sure this book has inspired many people, and I'm not taking anything from that, what I'm saying is that this book just didn't offer me any help. But just because *I* couldn't find anything of value here, doesn't mean others won't.

This book is a part of the AMORC library - "Ancient Mystical Order Rosea Crucis" (The Rosicrucians) - and can therefore be seen in line with their philosophy. The Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, is superb in their perspective on mysticism; they really know what they're talking about. It is claimed that this publication is the first time these specific manuscripts have been allowed to be seen in the West and that the Dalai Lama himself approved this translation.
