5.0 out of 5 stars Offers New Perspectives, July 27, 2003

This review is from: Be Your Own Guru (Paperback)

This is a fascinating book which further expands Betty Bethards' philosophy of reincarnation, karma and chakras, which I first became familiar with in "The Dream Book: Symbols for Self Understanding." She goes into these eastern philosophic/religious principles more fully, and also deals with such subjects as understanding death as a transition, not an end, phenomena and expanding realities, and the importance of meditation in knowing yourself and contributing to making it a better world. Self-responsibility is a theme in all her books, taking responsibility for your own actions, because only then can you confront your fears, overcome them, and be a happier, more productive person. She believes we all have this capacity, within ourselves, that no one else can do it for us, we must be our own gurus! Of particular interest were her own personal experiences which led her to become a psychic, mystic, spiritual teacher and healer. Written with her usual clarity and good humor, this book opens your eyes to new perspectives, new possibilites for achieving the understanding and peace we all seek.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy reading, informative, a good starting point for anyone., February 16, 1999

This review is from: Be Your Own Guru (Paperback)

This is a 123 page book that's quick and very thought provoking. The message is very simple. Just meditate and listen to the God force that's universal in all of us. Here's a small quote from the book, "It's easier to help a person who knows nothing than a wise man who knows all. Betty is very common sense in this book. She's selling no magic you don't already own. Buy two and give one to a friend.

Great book! For those who are not looking to follow a religion, this book is for you. Insights into her life are very interesting. It covers just about everything, death, meditation and much much more. One of the messages is that you can find your own answers. You don't need to get them from anyone else.
