This book is somewhat outside the sphere I usually read, so I'm not sure how removed from the target audience I actually am. There was a lot of beautiful imagery, and it was readable, but I think the boat-trip metaphor might have been a bit too thick for me to really grasp what was being conveyed; I'm sure this book will appeal to those in the target demographic.

I think one of the things that really prevented me from engaging in the desired exercise was the constant reliance on Columbus and how he went against popular belief to achieve his goals. At the time flat-earth theory was pretty much dead in the water, and what was really being held against Columbus was the fact that his proposed voyage was for a trip that was a third of the current estimates of Earth's circumference (which had been worked out to remarkable precision back in the days of ancient Greece) meaning that him and his crew would have starved to death long before reaching India, it was only by luck that America was there that his expedition wasn't a total waste. Knowing this kind of took the prose out of the noble example being set forth. An interesting book for those with interest in the subject. Plenty of food for thought.

Pure Poetry in both prose and images... A syn-esthetic adventure for both Heart and Soul. A magnificent voyage through mind to the illuminating Soul... A learning experience, where silence bears music and the night sky becomes the background for the birth of stars... The pictures, true delight! The colors are superb, the drawings mostly symbolic without ever being weird or "complex" (as in "mind complex") but rather clear and crystalline as gems, always so easy to understand because they are so c Pure Poetry in both prose and images...

I recommend this inspiring book to anyone who is on a journey of self awareness and connectedness. It reminded me of things I had forgotten, introduced me to some new ways to look at things and rounded out some incomplete concepts for me with beautifully imagined metaphors. Filled with great quotes from great minds and I'm not sure if it was intended by the author, but I found some great imagery tools for use in meditation.

This book falls into the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, suggesting the "now" as a self awareness and giving interesting information on how to get to a state of awareness. It reads almost as a poetry book, there are several beautiful quotes from famous motivators/writers/poets etc, and the pictures illustrating the pages are just breathtaking. I read the ebook version, and believe the print version would mostly look like a coffee table book!
