Some interesting ideas
This is certainly a heartfelt and sincere description of one man's spiritual odyssey, and his attempt to impart the inspiration that he feels to others. The notion of totally selfless acts of mercy and compassion without any expectation of fame or reward is a noble one, and the planet would be a whole lot better off if everyone shared it. And his descriptions of his journeys around the world are fascinating in their own right.
What I didn't like about this book was the abundance of "New-Agey" descriptions and anecdotes. I'm a strict believer in science, rationality, and natural law. I don't believe in spiritual energy fields, psychic consciousness, and the like, and I certainly don't believe in angels, let alone angels giving flaming swords to people. I must admit I rolled my eyes a lot when he went off on this sort of thing. I'm sure Herr Muller is a wonderful human being, but I just can't buy into all that. A worthwhile read nonetheless.
It can change your life if you're open to it.
There were times in the beginning when I was skeptical, looking for proof, but as I went on, something clicked. There's no way to "prove" if he's being honest, but I don't think that's the intention, since I've read it, I've been noticing that things aren't always a coincidencethings that happened which would take too long to explain here. His theories and stories have changed my everyday life.
It's definitely not a book for everyone, but if you want to be open to god, I think it will open your awareness. If nothing else, its definitely interesting
A spiritual journey
The Prophet's Way is a first class spiritual journey, but one in which Thom Hartmann doesn't always provide you with a clean, comfy, air-conditioned cabin. You'll be taken on treks through southern India, South America, and Jerusalem. Be prepared to hang onto your seat.
The rest of the book is an engaging story of his spiritual journey with his teachers and mentors. Be prepared for this book to lift you up to where you can get a very clear view of what the Kingdom of Heaven means.
Turn your inner material caterpillar into a spiritual butterfly.
The humble author takes the readers for a wonderful journey into spirituality and enlightenment. The gist of the book is that small acts to mercy can and do change the world. Even a seemingly insignificant change as picking up a lost earthworm in wee hours of the morning so that it does not get trampled upon later during the day, can ignite a spark and change the world for good. My life has been forever touched and my spiritual eyes have been opened. I have moved over to the other side, so as to speak, the side of more spiritual and less material. Two other unforgettable books by Mr Hartmann, The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight and Unequal Protection. Get them, read them, distribute among friends and loved ones.
