"Sanctuary is the most glorious gift that anyone could ever receive" -- Linda Gray, actress, and Goodwill Ambassador on Women’s Issue to the United Nations

Product Description

More than half a century after Einstein first described the energetic unity of the world in his famous equation, E=mc2, we are finally beginning to understand the spiritual and mystical implications of his discovery. Sanctuary: The Path to Consciousness is about the miraculous possibilities that emerge when we see the universe as a matrix of frozen light, the spiritual manifestation of our intuitive consciousnesses.

In this remarkable novel, you will find a new energetic model of the body, the spirit, and the nature of the physical world. It points the way to unlimited possibilities of absolute, eternal transformation, and you will find out that it is readily available now!

After reading this book, you too can take advantage of the techniques of energetic Quantum-Consciousness Evaluation, and be able to identify and remove subtle-energy imbalances to attain and integrate physical, emotional, and spiritual harmony!

5.0 out of 5 stars The most important book you'll ever read, August 11, 2001

By	Kevin Alyn (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sanctuary : The Path to Consciousness (Hardcover)

I read this book after many years of participating in the healing work offered by Stephen Lewis. I have been participating in the AIM Program of his and Slawson's church, EMC2, since it began. This book finally revealed the nature of the healing work I had been participating in. Before it came out I had no idea what Steve was doing except that I knew it worked for me.

The book is full of disclosures (not "disclaimers" - disclosure has to do with bringing the truth to light which is what happens here; disclaimer has to do with avoiding responsibility) that let people know that the work done by EMC2 is not some kind of official substitute for medicine. Some have implied that these disclosures are an indication of something questionable going on, rather than being what they are: A true expression of how this work is viewed or not viewed by so-called scientific authorities. Based on many years of knowing Steve, I know him to be an ethical and intelligent person who believe passionately in the work he does, which he thinks may be the most important thing happening on the planet right now. As a long-time participant, I happen to agree with him. And I think the fact that Sanctuary and EMC2 try to be eminently clear about the fact that this work is absolutely outside the mainstream and is based on spiritual healing principles is admirable. As is often the case, attackers of light work such as this have their own agendas. For instance, one attacker reveals in another book review that he is an MD, but conveniently fails to mention that in his review of Sanctuary. Oddly, that reviewer simultaneously trumpets the fact that the book is fiction (and implies that the techniques are also fictional) then suggests that the fiction may have side effects. When we consider that the authors present the work as the technology of prayer in healing, it is not surprising that a reviewer with a secular bias has such a strong negative opinion.

Some people have complained that EMC2 is a non-profit organization that manages to avoid taxation. The truth is that EMC2 is a for-profit company which pays taxes. Lewis and Slawson have been forthright with me and others that the reason it is not a non-profit is because they do not solicit or accept donations, they only offer a spiritual service for a fee, and they did not feel it was ethical to take advantage of special dispensations in the law which they feel were designed to help organizations which are supported by donations. On the other hand, EMC2 believes that if their work is valued, people will pay for it. In addition, since the church began, the cost of participating in this energy work has dropped substantially.

Others have talked about how EMC2 uses independent facilitators to work with people in their geographical areas who are interested in participating in the energetic/spiritual work. These people have claimed that there is some kind of multi-level marketing plan being used by EMC2. Frankly, I know a number of people who want to become independent facilitators for them, but EMC2 doesn't allow many people to do this work. An MLM tries to recruit as many salespeople as possible. EMC2 doesn't seem to be trying to recruit anybody.

Some have claimed that the client base of EMC2 is mostly the wealthy. This is not true. The people I have met over the years who are participating in this are people with a spiritual orientation towards healing and who come from all walks of life. As for complaints that the testimonials are vague and subjective, I believe that the well-known people who shared their belief in this work are brave individuals who are willing to stand up for what they believe in, even when those beliefs aren't supported by mainstream orthodoxy. But as all thinking people know, what is orthodox today may be discredited tomorrow and the lunatic fringe today may be tomorrow's mainstream. Remember that Galileo was jailed for claiming that the earth was round.

So, in short (hah - I guess I haven't been too short - sorry!) I'd say to anybody READ THIS BOOK if you have an open mind. The information in it isn't for everybody, but the authors don't claim it is for everybody. They try to make sure that you know theirs is an alternative view, offered in spiritual terms. If that sounds interesting to you, and you believe that healing and spirituality are inseparable, then check it out!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Path to Consciousness, April 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sanctuary: The Path to Consciousness (Hardcover)

For today's physicists, Einstein, Heisenberg, Bohr and other's work to identify the energetic unity of the universe, E=MC2, is yesterday's breakthrough. For the understanding of the rest of us, in the new book, "Sanctuary: The Path to Conscious," from HTT Press, by authors Stephen Lewis & Evan Slawson, it is the latest ground-breaking, chain-breaking news as it applies to our own conscious well-being.

Throughout Sanctuary, its hero, Max, explains the theory behind energetic unity and how it relates to us for good or ill. Many mystics claim we have other bodies, the casual, the mental, the energetic, the spirit, etc., and refer to them as our 'subtle bodies' no less real, of significant consequence than the physical body. For instance the "Yoga Sutras," by the sage Patanjali, indicate that there are energetic pathways in and between the subtle bodies and this ancient work indicates that energetic imbalances are transmitted through to the physical body. If imbalanced, or negative, these energies allow the body to get out of sync with its own processes and can result in allergies, heart disease or cancer for examples. Regardless of symptomology, though, energetic negativity can be reversed and imbalance brought to balance again.

Well-being on every level is enhanced when subtle-energy blockages, impeding our ability to keep ourselves in top condition physically, mentally and spiritually, are removed. We, then, become more and more able to express our lives more fully and completely. And, in Sanctuary, Max says, "There is no difference between vibration, energy and prayer or chanting. It's all the same thing, it's a focusing of consciousness. We believe that creating this energetic mantra, this prayer wheel, has healing benefits ... What we do is help you find your higher consciousness, which we believe is resident in everyone, so that you become your own healer."

Max continues, "All energy comes from a higher source. All energy is the higher source. We don't create it, we just tap into it. You may call energy 'divine' or 'eternal', they are synonyms ..." Max has developed techniques and equipment which identify subtle-energy frequencies and can pinpoint many thousands of frequency imbalances. And, most importantly, he can reverse these frequencies.

Max's techniques examine the total being, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, in terms of pure subtle-energy frequencies. This energetic information can be obtained directly from the body as well as by using a photographic image of the individual being tested. He can detect problem areas of imbalance and provide the body with the correct re-balancing frequencies, placing your consciousness in the right place at the right time. In the case of energetic balancing, once the disturbance is identified, once it comes to consciousness, to conscious awareness, then the self, the higher self, the organizing principle in you knows what to do to make it right.

Stephen Lewis, the real-life Max, says, "The real goal of Sanctuary and its work: To help each of us consciously unite with that divine energy which is in all things, of which all things are made, the continuum of energy which is our 'self.' Our task, the true task of integration and realization, is to become one with that which is already us, which is to say, become one with all things -- to become well."

1.0 out of 5 stars The answers are inside you, January 19, 2004

By	Bob Jones (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

I read this book a few years ago and I recently saw that Stephen Lewis is still trying to gather a flock. I've been working on myself for many years. I try to balance my left brain (business degree) with my right brain (by meditating). I believe in a few things that Lewis says specifically that everything is energy but I don't believe that he has your best interest at heart.

I went to a Lewis gathering in Denver that was run by one of his facilitators. She had been on the AIM program for about one year. During her talk she hardly ever smiled and she curiously had a cold/cough. Of course, she explained that her cold must be due to the detoxifying of her body through the AIM program. So after her talk she shows a video of Stephen Lewis being interviewed by infomercial guru Kevin Trudeau. Trudeau is a convicted felon and also was formerly involved with a MLM company called Nutrition for Life. Unfortunately, my one and only time with a MLM company was with the same Nutrition for LIfe. The company was publicly held and after the news of Trudeau was announced (felony) the stock plummeted and was eventually delisted.

So I'm watching the video and thinking that somehow someway this Trudeau is involved with Lewis' company (or church). Once my sarcastic laughter subsides I concentrate on Lewis. He very rarely looks Trudeau in the eye and never smiles. Maybe there's no smiling allowed in this "church"! I would think that being disease free would make you smile all the time?! So after the video I asked the facilitator if this AIM program was a MLM setup. She wasn't expecting that question and noticeably became flustered. She never really answered the question and quickly called on someone else.

Before I went to the seminar I listened to about a 2 hour long taped radio show with Lewis taking calls. He said something to the effect that early on his clients were rich people because they could afford to pay him. What's his agenda, to help people or just take their money?

I put something on a message board about Lewis and a lady from CA responded and said that she was an energy worker. She had volunteered to help at one of his seminars. She said that she thought his energy was "dreadful", he was rude, and that she didn't even like being in the same room with him. She had already signed up for the AIM program and ended it after 6 months with no positive results.

Lewis has setup an almost foolproof way to bilk people out of their money. He has numerous disclaimers and it's setup as a "church". Instead of just serving the rich he's made it available to the masses. The yearly cost of $1000 is a stretch enough to keep the riff-raff out but yet attainable enough for the spiritually gullible. The program also locks people in because if you leave the program you'll probably become "sick".

"What if" he can do what he says? It would be priceless! Or better yet why not be a saint and offer it to people for free? If he has the frequencies to heal than any other frequency will harm. So he could go from Dr. Love to Dr. Evil. What happens if you leave the program, could he harm you?

As we grow older we start caring more about our health and less about our money. There is one fact, we're all going to die. Our egos might not believe it but it's true. In my opinion, Lewis is basically a faith healer. He dazzles you with technology (with no proven results) and you have faith that you'll be healed by it. Where does healing come from? It comes from inside you, not from ANYTHING outside of you. Have faith in yourself. Do you want to feel better? Then eat better and exercise. Do you think you can send your photo to Lewis and still eat a box of Oreos a day and be healthy? Common sense is free!

There is one thing that will be interesting. What will Lewis die from? I can almost guarantee it'll be reported as an "accident" and not a disease. This is big business folks, the business entity must live on.

There is one frequency Lewis has pinpointed and that is the frequency of MONEY!
