Book Reviews of The Book of Secrets: Keys to Love and Meditation
Book Review: Simply Stunning
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the book that changed my life, or turned it around. Brought a whole new synthesis. I started w/ the 3rd volume (included here) at first, but it's all great. Work your way past the first hundred or so pages with patience if you want the more purely philosophical stuff. Or as Osho would say, "philosia" -- love of seeing (not of sophistry). He knows the rituals, the chakras, the whole bit, but this is the breath of conceptual tantra. Many lives probably led him to this wisdom. This is where the modern-day tantra craze should have remained. Now it's gone on to yoga, yoga, yoga -- what, people got fed up with sex? Most likely repression reared its ugly (sometimes necessary) head. Don't go for the abridged cassettes, buy the book. It's something you may want to reread too. It's all about self-acceptance... and THESE ARE LIVE TRANSCRIBED DISCOURSES, to correct some other reviewers who are saying he wrote this stuff.Book Review: A beautiful book for those serious about truth
Summary: 5 Stars
Page after page this book re-iterates the path to freedom,to be present to , and non-judgemental of one's experience.A science of living authentically. This is true ancient wisdom conveyed in a way that modern people can understand.Book Review: Best text I have ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
A profound explanation! This is more of practical stuff than mere academic discussion. You have to have a feel of the author to get the insights..Finally meditation is all about feeling through the heart..where the heart dominates and the head follows!Book Review: Enlightenment is Relative but Osho had the goods
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, Osho got in big trouble sexually and financially here in the US, but that doesn't mean that the principles he advocated in his books were flawed. Enlightenment isn't always portable. American society is known for its ability to produce trance states more related to materialism than spirituality and this is especially true of immigrants unused to its seductive power. For an amusing look at the impact of Americans going to India in the 60's read Gita Mehta's "Karma Cola". You certainly can't compare OSHO to someone like the Dali Lama, but the fact that he didn't maintain a lifestyle in keeping with third world spirituality is perhaps his greatest contribution to the American understanding of eastern principles. His was able to write in a clear and concise American style about principles which are antithetical to the American reality. He wrote with a full knowledge and compassion of how seductive life here can be...In this way The Book of Secrets is not just another tome delivered by someone looking down from a position of study and fasting...but a useful life manual delivered from a position of immersion.
Book Review: Bow down in reverence. This is book is God?s grace.
