Book Reviews of Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and the Past-Life Therapy That Changed Both Their Lives
Book Review: 'Spiritual creatures...
Summary: 3 Stars
..having human experiences.'
I read this book after a friend recommended it. She knows my beliefs and thought I might be intrigued by it. (I'm actually surprised I hadn't read it before.)
I doubt the book would be published as it is, were it published today. In a nutshell, it's really not very well written, and the story at the heart of it all isn't told very well at all. It's spare, it's a little disjointed in places. It needed a better editor...and a better writer.
What's in it is fascinating enough, the patient's revelations under hypnosis, but I can't say that I align myself with what the author was told by the patient, or by 'the Masters' through her. In fact, there were portions I was actually pulling a face while reading, some of the 'rules' ran so contrary to what I believe. I won't go into specifics, just refer the reader to the title of this review; too many of the concepts presented as dogma were more of a 'human' ilk than they were spiritual, and certainly had little to do with the underlying notion of 'balance', especially when highlighted by using Nature as a reference point.
All-in-all, 'Many Lives, Many Masters' is a now-quaint look at the notion of reincarnation. At the very least, it can serve as a primer for those who are open to the concepts espoused here, providing sufficient impetus to explore more fully elsewhere.
