5.0 out of 5 stars Captures The Master!, July 11, 2000

By	"[e-mail]" (Samsara) - See all my reviews

Lee Lozowick is an underrated Master. I think he is criticized by many because he scares many. Out of the hand full of Guru's that have fallen from "grace" in the last 20 years, Mr. Lee is still going strong. This book is a condensed articulation of his way of teaching; his living philosophy. What makes Lee a MASTER par excellence is his example. He once said: "The work you have come here to do is the work I have come here to do. The difference is, I have assumed it, you have not. His amazing discipline is the furtile manure that informs his wit and shining clarity. Lee's words are time bombs that will explode in your consciousness six months later. Whether or not this Man fits your preconeptions of what a spiritual teacher "should" be or not, even more so than Evander Holyfield, This MAN is the REAL DEAL. Back to the book. Lee clearly states his vision of the importance of such themes as: community, diet, spiritual practice, the role of the teacher among other important topics. Remember as you read, this Master is not a master of rhetoric he is an exemplar of the highest degree. Not until you can walk the kind of walk that he has walked will you be qualified to be even close to having an inkling of where from this Master speaks. Jai Guru!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lee Lozowick shines, June 25, 2007

By	The Friz "spiritual seeker" (Prescott Valley, AZ) - See all my reviews

The book is taken from several seminars that Lee taught in Europe but it doesn't read like transcripts from a meeting. It gives clear insight into what is involved in being a part of a spiritual school with a spiritual master. Lee is often times irreverant and controversial but he is always pushing towards transformation for his students. Great read and thought provoking.

5.0 out of 5 stars The role of spiritual teacher and student., April 28, 1998

By A Customer

Lee Lozowick lets us all know in this book that he is a true spiritual teacher. He educates the reader to what a true spiritual teacher asks of his students. He takes the confusion out of spiritual practice by writing in clear, concise language. Spiritual practice is shown to be difficult for most seekers. Surrender is difficult for all but a few. The ego dies hard.
