The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power

The author of the book has clear insight into the human mind and how people are dominated by their thoughts and dont even realise it. He talks about how people create their own misery by following their confused mind. He offers a beautiful way out of this by helping the reader become aware of his/her true self, not the conditioned self. Fantastic read a must for anyone on the journey of self discovery. This book is the most honest and straight to the point read. You wont be disappointed with your purchase at all. Another person made a review and said all the book says is "follow the mystic path". Well that reader clearly was not reading this book with open eyes and missed massive amounts of insight. 5 out of 5!

Recommend this to anyone looking for peace, happiness and the truth. There is a way out of the chaos and suffering, through studying Vernon's works. I'm half way through the book, and already enjoying practicing his suggestions and seeing the results!

In order to understand this book, you should probably have a certain level of understanding of the mystic and spiritual world. The book is absolutely brilliant and it has changed the way I look at things and other people. It helped me to see things from different perspective and mainly to see that behind every unwanted thought and action is only me and no one else, and that in order to change things in one's live, one must start from oneself. It sounds simple, but it takes a lot of work. It's very well written and quite comprehensive,(in gig enough letters, too), divided into small chapters, so not to overwhelm one with too much information. I can only recommend this.

I only wish I had come across this book years ago. I have studied spiritual truths for many years but have not managed to break free from self created suffering. This book is the most practical one I have come across to help me to understand and correct the obstacles that have stood in my way and enable me to 'let go' I read it a month ago and already I am feeling a lot better. I am confident that if I continue to practice the simple method that V.H. suggests one day I will be completely free of the things which have held me back for so many years.

I enjoy vernon Howard's books.He has sold 8million books but very few have heard of him.This book talks to your soul while your monkey mind chatters away.Vernon Howard's books are not for the faint hearted!

Good clear explanations of a different way to live. A good book for people on a Spiritual journey of changing

A long journey of self observation until there is just observing and noticing. It is a path to non identifying of the so called self with the content of the mind. A path to enlightenment and self realisation.

One of my all time favourites, I would highly recommend. Love this book

parfait

If you really want to grow Spiritually....this book is a great road map. Vernon Howard was one of the best authors in this genre I have ever read...I only wish I had the wisdom to see how important this stuff is when I was in my 20's. The Kingdom of Heaven is indeed in us...but we have to want it with all of our hearts...then it rewards that desire with insights that lead you to peace. Think about it. The Voice of Truth, God, whatever you want to call it....is always there...but it is usually overshadowed by our ego, which is loud and stupid...the cause of all our problems and distress. But it knows us so well....and as the Course In Miracles states: "Your ego is totally insane....it doesn't want you to know Who takes every step with you. For it knows that if you knew that God is always with you, you would throw ego away...so it keeps you in a low level of anxiety to control you" So true. I know...have lived it. God is Love. So very powerful, He can afford to be gentle....has no need to scream at you. It is an inevitable fact that you will one day realize He is closer to you than your breath...so He can stand back and watch with sympathetic amusement as you struggle with all your "knowings"....lol!!! If you get this book...you will be hooked on Vernon Howard....a breath of fresh air.

Very well written I have come through this book with an understanding that I never thought possible. The examples help you work through any doubt. I enjoy the last pages and will read them daily as affirmations

Nice

I'm not talking about the usual ups and downs that everyone goes through. If you're life is good for the most part, check out an Anthony Robbins book or something. Now, if your pain and suffering is to the extent that you feel life is dark, murky, pointless... then that energy will be the fuel/drive to find a way out. I assure you that this book is the answer to your pain and suffering. In a nutshell, here's the bizarre answer: get in touch with your True Self. You're identified 100% with the false in you and that is the root of your pain and suffering. Yes, it does sound bizarre. And you'll probably resist this because you know no other way but your world of pain and suffering. I've been there, I know. I guarantee you with all my heart that there truly is a way out. Seeing the false as false and thus getting in touch with what's True is the ONLY answer. Anything else you do is mere candy-coating. I immersed myself in Tolle's resources, Adyashanti, Byron Katie, Anthony DeMello, and Gangaji. Now, Vernon also points in the same direction as the these people. But Vernon's style is fierce whereas the other people's style is gentle. And by the way... I love Anthony De Mello, but it turns out that A LOT of the stories/metaphors and what he had to say in general were from Vernon Howard's resources, including this book. As I read Mystic Path, it totally struck a chord with me like no other. It's an amazing book that's fresh and brand new despite being written in the 60's. In fact, I was blown away chapter after chapter at this man's style. He knows what he's talking about.
