Wake Up!!!!
Wake up! Wake up! If you do or you don't...I really don't care. Superb message this book has to transmit, but whether you understand it or not--and whether you are willing to give up all your programming--it's up to you. Like he says, if you profit from it...that's good, but dont thank him, if you dont, its your bad not his!(it wouldnt make a difference 'cause he's dead anyway.) In all the self-help books ever written, true wisdom isn't always present. But De Mello, once again if you understand him, teaches you how to dig within your soul and obtain the wisdom from there. I have read the Bible many times, yet after reading this book it's as if a new light was shed upon God's message to humanity. The parallels found between the lives of Jesus and all the prophets, and the lifestyle which he describes as being 'awake' definitely make a lot of sense. Read it 3,4,5,1000+ times if you wanna reduce life to its lowest terms and be able to suck out the marrow of life!

Thank God for Cardinal Ratzinger
Sometimes I'll read a book and, maybe a couple of times along the way, I'll be forced to stop and just let my mind calm down. Just because something the author has written is so thought-provoking.

With this book I had to do that on almost every page. I don't think it's ever taken me so long to read 184 pages before.

I'm actually glad Cardinal Ratzinger, Chief of the Vatican Thought Police, decided to condemn Fr. de Mello's work. If it wasn't for the ensuing controversy, I might never have become aware of the work of this truly enlightened priest.

I don't approve of censorship, but sometimes these things happen when Catholic priests (or nuns) throw pearls before swine (which is unavoidable in the world of mass market publishing).

No bother. This book would not be appropriate for the handful of people who actually care about anything Ratzinger has to say, anyway. Not because they don't need to wake up reality, mind you -- they're just so enjoying living in a dreamworld, any attempt to disturb their slumber will only irritate them. You don't want to disturb the simple faithful.

Of course, maybe if they were disturbed a little bit, they wouldn't be so simple?

Father Anthony will open your "eyes"
Your inner "eyes", that is. He is a blend of St. John of the Cross and Brother Lawrence and is not bound by the constraints of his Catholicism but has distilled its essence. This essence is communicated with a distinct flavor of the best of the Eastern "mindfulness" tradition. You will be happy to have the good father as your spiritual guide. Sadly, he is no longer with us on this earth, but he certainly continues to guide us in our search for the deepest union of our selves with the Divine.
