This little book stands above all the rest.

I was given a copy of The Impersonal Life many years ago, and although I've read scores of spiritual books over the years, I keep coming back to this little book. It answers the "meaning of life" questions that other spiritual books sidestep. It clearly stands above all the rest.

Is is hard on the ego? Maybe. But when you really think about (meditate on) what's said (and not just do a quick read and make a judgment), these are the answers that hold up. Although the language is simple and concise, the meaning and implications run deep.

Only Open Minds Should Even Bother Opening This Book.

This book is for people who wish to open up their thinking, and subsequently change their material conditions.This is not for people who believe in some literal, anthropomorphic "God." But rather, it uses Xian teachings as a metaphor to reveal universal ideas.This type of material long preceeded titles like "The Secret."It's age-old wisdom.But don't get it if you're a literal-minded Bible thumper who subscribes to a supernaturalist cosmology.It probably isn't for you.

my favorite book

As other reviewers say, if you study this book and meditate with focus on every sentence it will open you to an understanding of Life and of yourself, allowing the inner Peace to unfold an the experience of the One, your Real Self. Priceless. I studied it 3 times in 10 years and the last study brought me to REALLY KNOW that God is everything, that there is only God; my past disappeared, my intellectual search found its conclusion. Fear left me, allowing the release of the future as well ( mainly expectations, including the results of my work which I now leave completely to the Infinite). Life's good after this book does its job. It turns into a life of selfless service, the true Christian path. Fascinating that one of the first channellings would be so potent. It is also the only one attributed directly to God. So do yourself the biggest favor and give this book your all.

If only we knew

I am still only 3/4 of my way through this book. The books i read before this were Ervin Seale's classics on the metaphysical translation of the bible. I am not a 'Christian', but even so they made a lot of sense to me. They also provided a 'soft start' to this brutally honest book.

Why is honesty always described as 'brutal' though...I do wonder at that?!! Perhaps a reflection on our ego-self, that lies to us and makes us soft and weak in our ability to deal with the truth.

Maybe thats why the 'God' described here sounds so uncompromising. This book is all about understanding 'tough love', the kind of love and understanding that really changes you and informs you because it loves you. That does not hold out false promises. You need to be either ready to really liberate yourself or you can go back to the la-la land of a 'sunday - only religion' and business as usual on the rest of the days.

I find it interesting that the 'bible reading christians' are so opposed to this book in the reviews ...in many ways the bible speaks the same truths, or for that matter so does the Quran, Gita or what have you. How deep are we prepared to read in these books? Or do we just use them to further the ego's demands?

Only read this book if you are ready for some in depth introspection with an open mind. it will change your life if you get out of your way. Cannot be measured in terms of star ratings, but i give it the max available here.

totally awesome

I have lots of books that I have studied on spirituality and was asking for some guidance about a week ago and suddenly found myself choosing this little book stuck up in my closet. I have trouble putting it down. It is so wonderful in the guidance I was seeking. I cannot say enough good about it. It came at a time when I needed it and I have not been the same since. It certainly was an answer to prayer.
