Editorial Reviews

Review

Ethan has a rare ability to 'Universalize' concepts from different traditions such as yoga, tai chi, chi gung, ancient Egypt, Kabbalah and modern science. The 108 Steps is very inspiring and describes the feeling of being in The Zone and how to get there.
~Manoj Chalam, Physicist and Metaphysics Yogi

Ethan's work on meditation achieves a level of rarefied quality so necessary to metaphysical writing and teaching. The 108 Steps is simple and profound, and rich in details and analogies that bring the inner truths of diverse traditions into usefulness in the present time. It is as simple as the profoundness of a child taking its first steps, the mathematical intricacies of numerology, astrology and ancient wisdom in Ethan's writing make entering this world of spiritual development an exciting and safe journey. The 108 Steps lays out a system that can be used beneficially to reveal one's inner nature and the truths we all seek sooner or later.
~Laura Peppard, Founder and Director of the Reno Psychic Institute

‘Do not just go with the flow, flow with the flow’

Ethan Indigo Smith has researched all manner of philosophy movements and shares these various philosophies with us to show the similarities and common threads as well as pointing out fresh ways of re-thinking the. In this very fine, well-written, informative and useful book he takes us through his discoveries and his techniques in a manner that is easily assimilated. As with each of Ethan’s books he not only shares his walk with the spiritual aspect of philosophy - he also teaches on a broader scope than most. Read him and feel enlightened.

Ethan opens his book with the following – ‘The above image is of an energized person radiating a Merkaba, symbolizing balance and the power of self. The word Merkaba has ancient Egyptian etymological roots combining 3 concepts. Mer means counter rotating fields of light, Ka means spirit and Ba means body. In Hebrew Merkaba has come to mean chariot or vehicle. The counter rotational fields of light of the Merkaba symbolize balancing the physical and spiritual, and the feminine with the masculine, so as to properly energize our personal consciousness vehicles. The 24 sided, 8 pointed Merkaba or stellated octahedron is made up of two tetrahedrons (four sided pyramids) spinning in harmonious opposition. It is mathematically significant as one of the 5 Platonic Solids, geometric designs which hold deep mathematical and metaphysical insights. The Merkaba represents the element fire. The other Platonic Solids represent the other theorized elements of air, water, earth and ethereal.
The Merkaba is biblically related to the vision of Ezekiel in which he sees a divine wheel or chariot, the Merkaba, and sets of four wheels and four heads in relation to it. Ezekiel’s vision is often referred to as an allegory for meditative connection with the elemental energies. Many meditations from diverse practices have ideas within them pertaining to the idea of counter rotational spirit/body energy. Among every tradition I am aware of, the left side of the body is feminine, the right side is masculine, while our feet are grounded to the feminine earth body and the crown of our head is attached to the masculine spirit energy above. Imagining the integrational counter rotational of feminine/masculine and sprit/body energies symbolically depicted in the Merkaba is one of the first important steps in numerous meditations. The synergy of such balance leads to quality energy, enhanced abilities, including increased awareness. Many have sought to experience visionary energy like Ezekiel, while others have tried to suppress interest in meditation and the energy of the Merkaba by maintaining meditative energy is negative in some way or that intangible energy is somehow a crock. The energy in Ezekiel’s vision is likely the same energy described in chi gung, tai chi and yoga. The geometric Merkaba might be similar to, or the source of the amorphous aura. Many of the same attributes of the flowing Yin Yang symbol are also shared by the Merkaba if one simply understands the Yin Yang as a three dimensional form. The main reason for perpetuated stigmatized labels on meditation and meditative lessons to the point of fear and mockery is because some do not want others to access the energy for their individuation. They prefer others do not study meditation and do not enhance themselves with potentially visionary energy. Worldlings, the fools and the fooling, would have you believe there is only the tangible and mechanical, but metaphysical energy and invisible insight are intangible and cannot be held, but real nonetheless. Many people were not allowed to publicly read and were all out prevented from studying the Ezekiel text in the past, likely because of the meditative powers the text hinted at and authorities that wanted to restrict access to understanding it. The biblical text of Ezekiel was variously restricted over time, just like other meditation teachings with various origins were hidden and restricted. Meditation and meditative movements like tai chi, chi gung and yoga all have similarly secretive pasts and aspects…ETC.’

He goes on to share – ‘Being in The Zone includes being energized with prana and breath. It is balanced capability and integration with our surroundings. Increasingly the planet’s ecosystem requires that we all become more balanced, that more of us are more in The Zone, acting in unison with each other and the environment instead of in spite
of it and in spite of ourselves. We have to become more conscious. Ancient meditation lessons have cleared a path through the dense mountainous terrain of consciousness, but we must clear our own way through the new growth of consciousness. Different times and different minds require different paradigms. In the same way the 108 Steps can be of great assistance, but it is up to you to go forward and apply. You have to find your own footholds on your own path and proceed at your own pace to the mountaintop and most importantly you must take the initiative. The 108 Steps offers insight, inspiration, assistance and specific practices, but you have to practice yourself and take your own path to individuation.’

As with all of Ethan’s books, the reader comes away from the experience standing taller, breathing more deeply, and discovering how ready we are to be truly alive. Grady Harp, September 18

A profoundly important spiriitual and practical text

Author Ethan Indigo Smith in clear succinct prose teaches practical Eastern and Western wisdom covering psychology, religion, health, and so much more of what you need to know and do with your life and in your life to reach a state of personal and universal well-being. If you have Kindle the book is "free." It's $15.55 for the paperback if you have Prime. The number 108 is central in my life with synchronicities, Hindu teachings, and Daoist meditative as well as martial arts such as the 108 Yang Style Taijiquan. This book is a major teacher of such things and more.

Each page was a precious pearl of information. There is so much we can do and I can do. I at first thought...wow only 108 steps and I will be in the zone! Then I read the steps!! I am starting and know that I can keep up and get in the zone if I practice and incorporate each step. But it is going to take every ounce of strength, fortitude, patience and grace that I and the universe can muster. Now I begin.

Less theory on how to meditate, more practical advice on ways to live your life that has worked for him... but may not for everyone. step 108 ,as Jesus Christ has said will work for all of us if we are careful to include both parts of it.. 1) Loving God, whose Name is YHWH by resting in Him, honoring sanctifying glorifying His Name in us, 2) Loving others as yourself, ourself.. keep doing just these two steps Ethan and eventually, maybe you will find out that they are in the end,,Ethan just One step...
