Readers of Richard Bachs
Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, will recall that said messiah, Donald Shimoda, carried with him a small book entitled the
Messiahs Handbook. According to Shimoda, all Bach had to do was, "Open it, and whatever you need to know is there." Now, decades after
Illusions was first published, Bach has made the handbook available to all of us "advanced souls in training."
Rather than reading it cover-to-cover, Bach counsels us to close our eyes, focus on the question we want an answer to, then open the handbook at random, open our eyes and read whats on the page. In this regard, Messiahs Handbook can be likened to a 21st century version of the I Ching or The Book of Runes, with the same appeal to readers who enjoys such works. Each page is composed of a single, thought-provoking aphorism.
As with all of Bachs books, at the heart of Messiahs Handbook is his encouragement to his reader to follow the drumbeat of their dreams without compromise or apology, knowing that we can have what we desire so long as we believe we can. Used as directed, Messiahs Handbook is a delightfully insightful guide for making those dreams come true.--Larry Trivieri Jr.
