Nothing I disliked. Extremely profound. I’m blown away honestly. Highly recommend, not just for science fiction fans. It’s a wonder how he predicted so much about technology. It’s not some technical syfy book. It has deep meaning for any human.

I cannot express verbally the depth within me that this book plunged to. I thank the author from the center of my being for doing the work necessary to bring this story into the world. We are all riding on the backs of our ancestors love...hear them now whisper to you in the spaces between these stories, between the authors words, in her spaces, there will you find the depth and medicine you seek. It may taste bitter, yet the most bitter medicine heals the most.

Story
Best-selling author and renowned Zen teacher Steve Hagen penetrates the most essential and enduring questions at the heart of the Buddha's teachings: How can we see the world in each moment, rather than merely as what we think, hope, or fear it is? How can we base our actions on reality, rather than on the longing and loathing of our hearts and minds? How can we live lives that are wise, compassionate, and in tune with reality? And how can we separate the wisdom of Buddhism from the cultural trappings and misconceptions that have come to be associated with it?

Reviewed: 11-28-19
my completely subjective reflection: Narrator doesn't sound or feel very Zen to me. There is no stillness in his being, no silence emanating deeply from between his words. I feel tension there instead. Listen to Manly P Hall, Eckhart Tolle or Allan Watts talk...you instantly feel calm. I must not be zen enough to accept it but the guy reading sounds like the whitest person I have ever heard in my life. His approach expressed via his inflection to these subjects really makes it feel like he has no actual grasp of the principles or practices. He emphasises things he feels are important because he assumes they are, not because he knows them. He legit sounds like your quant neighbor who always waves at you over his white picket fence in a suberb cul-de-sac. I would have preferred a monotonous reader with lower pitch and not such an abrasive tonality. I think the books delivery suffers for it. Its kind of cringey. Hahaha judge me

It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces listeners to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind.

The chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) turns a critical eye toward such practices as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis. Are such powers really possible? Science says yes. According to noted scientist and best-selling author of The Conscious Universe, Dean Radin, magic is a natural aspect of reality, and each of us can tap into this power with diligent practice.

best story I've read in a long long time, and I've been reading fantasy for over 20 years. better than game of thrones and Harry Potter....has more heart than Stephen Erikson's garden of the moons...overall has both function and form in great equal parts. a truly great story.

Most of the time the Moontide Bridge lies deep below the sea, but every 12 years the tides sink and the bridge is revealed, its gates open for trade. The Magi are hell-bent on ruling this new world, and for the last two Moontides they have led armies across the bridge on "crusades of conquest". Now, the third Moontide is almost here, and this time the people of the East are ready for a fight... but it is three seemingly ordinary people that will decide the fate of the world.

only my opinion:
Reviewed: 08-25-17
I feel like despite some of the graphic scenes, the overall tone of this novel still had a "young adult" feel. Some of the main characters ARE young adults, aleron mercer being the most whiney, self doubting, and pouty of them all. Some of the narrations seem corny and annoying to me, maybe because they are a little over the top? I'm not sure, but the narration seemed to taint the overall effect and tone to make it lean towards a young adult fantasy romance drama. Upon imagining the pure text of it all, as if I were reading the words in a book, this illeviated the immature mood. That said, it's not all negative from me. I'm happy there is a book about mages, and the story and suspense of it all grows on you. I LOVE all the specifications of all the different kinds of Gnosis (the term they use in place of magic in the book, which is deemed an unfitting definition according to the Canon). I hope the story and characters mature more, as I'm sure they will. I will consider reading the physical text in the second book and see how that goes. I'll also just buy the audio book because I want to find out what happens ASAP haha. Give this book a shot, it won't completely floor or amaze you, but it's worth the time if you are really into stories about magic users and their complexities.
