Book Reviews of Open the Door: A Journey to the True Self
Book Review: Poetic but lacking
Summary: 2 Stars
I have just signed up for a 5 week program using this book and my thoughts on the book is that it is poetic and filled with a new age look at life. My wife calls it the "Tyranny of nice"....... My thoughts are that if you are into doing the hard work of opening doors you would be better off using the books written by John Powell SJ. The book has you doing rituals in the beginning that fit more into the end of the Process when you have done the hard work as a group and know each other. I had just finished reading one of my old issues of Parabola titled the threshold which discusses doors and thresholds and it deals on the cautions involved in opening some doors. Like all books of this type it forgets that you cannot have a feeling without a thought. It does not deal with attitudes which can be far from the truth but focuses more on this magical internal self which can be a false way of thinking. It mixes Sufi,Buddhist,Hindu and the teachings of Jesus without what led to these teachings. An aside if you want to open doors with a Buddhist flavor read the book Happiness which mixes meditative discipline with scientific thinking.
