Book Review: "The Instruction; Living the Life Your Soul Intended" by Ainslie MacLeod

I am a firm believer that we are here on this `Earth School' to stretch our souls, learn & grow, & gain new insights with each incarnation. What a delight to read this book on discovering our Soul's Age, Type, Powers, Talents, Missions.. all in a step-by-step interactive method of 10 Step Doorways.

When I started reading the book, I could hardly put it down. But it truly works best when you follow the author's advice of stopping to meditate & asking your Spirit Guides to help you in the decision making, illuminating the choices that apply to your own life's Path.
For instance in Part 1, I discovered that I am a Level 9 old soul, focusing on spirituality, self-improvement, healing and idealism. Then I went on to learn that my Soul Type was a Spiritualist/Helper. And so on, through all of the `doorways' of discovery throughout this riveting book.
From Direction, to Empowerment, to Fulfillment... the findings will amaze you. The revelations will indeed open a whole new world of thought for your time here on earth, & beyond.

I am thinking that this book would make a wonderful workshop opportunity, as well as a book club discussion tool. And I fully expect to see Mr. MacLeod on Oprah, discussing this fabulous work.

One of the best books of its kind ever written
The Instruction is quite simply a fun, fascinating, moving, and extremely useful book!

Over the years I have purchased and read many books dealing with matters of spirituality and personal growth. This is by far one of the best I've ever read.

The Instruction is written in a very clear and sensible fashion by someone who obviously has a deep understanding of psychic realms and the spirit world.

On top of that, Ainslie MacLeod (the Author) is no `woo-woo' new-age type. You realize pretty quickly that he is regular guy - and one who has a sense of humor!!

Much of the information in the Instruction comes nicely packaged in groups of 10's, which I found makes it very easy to digest. Given that, I will conclude my review with 10 things that I really like about this book:

1. The Author provides a matter-of-fact discussion about the phenomenon known as `the soul,' what that means, how we can know that we all have one, and what impact the soul has on the course of our life.
2. He explains the different planes of existence, i.e. The Physical Plane, the Astral Plane, and the Causal Plane.
3. A step-by-step `how-to' guide for how to meditate, get quiet and contact your own Spirit Guides and ask them for help.
4. A discussion of `Young Souls' and `Old Souls' and what characterizes the 10 different `Soul Ages.' (And how to, with the help of your own Spirit Guides, determine what your Soul Age is).
5. A discussion of the 10 different `Soul Types'
6. A breakdown of the 10 different types of `Soul Missions' that people bring into this lifetime to fulfill.
7. A look at fears, phobias, desires, and challenges that may be subconsciously holding you back.
8. An investigation of our Talents and positive Powers we all have access to.
9. A breakdown of The 10 Paths in life, how we can all walk them, and how ultimately they can lead us to Enlightenment.
10. Oh for crying out loud, just go read it!

An awesome book!

Really Good, but Similar Things Have Been Written
While I really enjoyed this book, and found much of it insightful, I also found it interesting how much of it overlaps a previous channeled system that I became only recently acquainted with. The "Michael Teachings" have been around for quite a while, and a Google search will yield many details about them. Several of the categories and some of the concepts in this book are identical: The concept of Soul Ages is present in both, and categories such as spiritualist, helper (servant), conceit (arrogance), obstinacy (stubbornness), insatiability (greed) will seem familiar to anyone who has investigated the Michael Teachings. While the Michael Teachings uses a system of seven categories, the Instruction uses a system of ten. While it could be derivative, I also entertain the possibility that on the Causal Plane Ainslie MacLeod's guides and the Michael entity do lunches to compare notes (or whatever one does on the Causal Plane.)
Still there is much that's different here, and certainly much that's new and highly useful. My only lingering frustration is that--as multiple people channel Michael, while only Ainslie MacLeod has channelled this system--if you aren't quite sure by the end into exactly which categories you fall in the Instruction you currently have to pay a significant $540 for three sessions to find where exactly you fall in this system, whereas in the Michael Teachings you can have a chart made up for you for $35-$40. True, you get a lot of extra guidance and insight from those sessions--so they may be worth it overall--but some of us just want to know the categories and let our own self-insight take us the rest of the way. While there's a lot of talk in this book about the validity of using meditation to have your guides show you where you fall, it isn't as easy as it sounds, and many people will come away still scratching their heads as to what their mission really is.
So if you feel you have enough clarity to know instinctively what categories you fall into I highly recommend this book, but if your sense about your life is still a little cloudy, if you buy this book be prepared to get out your credit card.
