Customer Reviews

Why struggle so hard to deny the easily observed?
What? We do not have bodies, we do not have rational minds, we are not human beings, this is not reality we observe all around us? If that is true, why is it necessary to struggle so hard to imagine ourselves in his alternate reality? Why is it necesaary to struggle so hard to deny the easily observed? In fact, if his alternative to reality is what we are to believe instead, then the concept and virtue of truth has no meaning and there's no method to establish what is true. Truth is the product of a consciousness which is able to process the evidence of the world by means of logic in order to test one's conclusions about the world. If the evidence of a body, of a material world, of our rational thought processes is not real, then no such product such as truth is possible. This illustrates quite simply how Freke's denial of reality is self-contradictory and, thus, false.
If you are reading this, you are a human being, using your rational mind to interpret the symbols into the ideas you and I share in our minds, words which say, You do have a human body, this world is real. Wake up! You've heard about alternative realities in science fiction? Freke is an imaginative-metaphysics fiction writer. One of the best.
My disagreement with him over these profound philosophical principles, which you are equipped to deal with yourself, in no way expresses a disagreement with his explosion of the myths of Christian orthodoxy.
As for this book, read it! See if you are not struggling to make his imaginary view of reality somehow real to yourself. if you are, that tells you much about its fictional character.

Read it!
A very brief but impactful book that is recommenced for every free-thinking person. It cuts to the core of experiential spirituality and the mystical experience we are all capable of realing for ourselves. It can help reveal our commonality of consciousness and our fundamental unity In Consciousness. A modern day Vedantic classic.

That's it?
It is true you can read this "book" in under an hour, but it will be an hour sadly wasted. Although Freke presents this material as novel, original, and mind-blowing... it is none of those things. Freke's thoughts on existence and consciousness are the same things you likely came up with and mulled over as a pre-teen. In the end, the entire book seems to be nothing but a pointlessly empty build-up for Freke to implore us to "give peace a chance".
This book is pithy meta-physical mumbo-jumbo with little to no substance. Don't waste your money.
