5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating as Celestine Prophecy, Mutant Message Downunder., November 3, 2003

By	Karen Villanueva "authorcare2" (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Buddha in Redface: Third Edition (Paperback)

I helped edit the new Third Edition, July 2003, such was my faith in this book. A remarkable and fascinating story that hooked me in the first few pages and kept me reading until the wee hours. A few of us did our best to clean up the errors so this profound dreamtime story would shine through. I loved going on the adventure with Ed Duran, learning from Tarrance, and having my own world view stirred up. If you're interested in cultural/political understanding, spiritual quests, or stories of relationships and awakenings, this could be just the ticket!

5.0 out of 5 stars Paradigm shifting, November 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Buddha in Redface: Third Edition (Paperback)

The story depicted here takes our consciousness into a new level of awareness. The author allows us to see that our actions are not simply within the relative world of politics or just interpersonal interactions. All of our actions are ladened with intent that has a karmic effect at spiritual levels that can impact our whole planet. A must read for socio-political types who see the world as a quantified system that is separate from our innermost spiritual being. A real pager turner!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read, August 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Buddha in Redface: Third Edition (Paperback)

This material is challenging and frightening at the same time. The author has raised the issue of possible destruction to a spiritual level, thus transcending the mundane political plane that most of the world problems are analyzed from. A must read for anyone that is remotely interested in seeing things from a different perspective.

Problems involving current issues such as the Catholic Priest Sexual disaster can be understood through the in depth teaching of the main character Tarrence. Tarrence also teaches how the overmasculinization of the mythology has contributed to such a lack of balance in the world that may lead to disastrous consequences. Read the book!!!
