Book Reviews of Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing
Book Review: "Anatomy of the Spirit" is misguided and misleading.
Summary: 1 Stars
Rarely do we find someone qualified enough to speak intelligibly about several fields of study at once, even more rare when these fields happen to be as esoteric as energy intuititionism, psycho-therapy and spirituality. Regrettably, Ms. Myss is not one of those rare individuals. Her book, "Anatomy of the Spirit," for example exhibits those characterisitcs that torture an educated audience. If people did what she herself does (or even what she says!), our lives would be more chaotic instead of more whole. To give an example, at the heart of Ms. Myss' doctrine one finds a carelessly selected combination of seeingly similar, significant and central elements from three of the major religions: Buddhism, Christianity, and Judaism. Regarding Christianity, Ms. Myss chooses to use the seven sacraments because she sees in them a "symbolic meaning" to the total disregard of the actual meaning of the sacraments, not to mention, the significance of Christ who is at the heart of those sacraments (which she pejoratively sets aside as the "religious significance"). She, however, under the self-proclaimed authority of "symbolic significance" feels priviledged to manipulate these truths to suit her own program. This example is by no means isolated. On the contrary, she manipulates otherwise significant theological and philosophical ideas so frequently within her book that a careful reader is left with nothing but confusion at the end. Such behavior hardly qualifies as either reasonable or professional. If her audience actually adopted her method, not to mention, her confusion, we would not witness a more harmonious lifestyle among human beings but rather a return to the cacophany of Babel. An educated reader would do well to spend her or his money on something else truly worthwhile.
