| A waste of my timeThere is nothing new in this book, unless you know nothing about metaphysics. A waste of my money & time.
"In that Moment of Awareness, Everything Changes" Kala page 189 Life Altering Lessons does exactly that. It alters your life for the better. Well you might have to go over some bumps first, but with Kala Ambrose as your guide, you will certainly achieve great results. There is so much information contained in this book transmitted in a ultra easy way. Kala touches upon many metaphysical subjects: The law of attraction, breathing, Who Am I? Why Am I Here?, creating balance, The power of emotions, creative visualization, Energy cords, and of course "Love is the Greatest power that exists, period."
I have been studying metaphysics for over twenty years. So when I picked up this book I thought it was not going to teach me anything new. That was not the case. It filled little holes/gaps in my understanding that I was not aware of and gave me alot of AH-HA moments. After reading this book I feel much more whole, complete.
Whether you are just beginning your climb to enlightenment, or are a neophyte or initiate you WILL GAIN from reading this book.
"Remember What You Already Know"I found this book to be an easy and enjoyable read. It definitely presents some thought provoking ideas. It is not perfectly edited which might initially turn off some readers, but that doesn't really take away from the value of the information presented. Some people may be annoyed with the author's constant reminders that this book can't completely cover the full meaning behind the mystery teachings. But that is something I really give the author credit for. In today's society most people want their reality spoon-fed to them through mass media and it's refreshing to hear the author tell us not to blindly trust her but to go out and search for ourselves. This book is certainly worth a read and even an occasional reread.
Nine life-altering lessonsReviewed by Jolie Breeden for RebeccasReads (8/08)
This book offers lessons to be learned - many more than the promised nine - to anyone traveling a path to spiritual well being. Whether those lessons are truly "life altering" will depend on the reader's path and how long they've traveled, but even the most road weary will find something of use in this unassuming primer.
The nine lessons touted in the title are simple concepts, attributable to many major religions, but most recently aggregated under the umbrella of the "new age" movement. In the book's introduction, Everything Old is "New Age" Again, author Kala Ambrose tells readers it's not her intention to teach them anything new but to remind them what's been taught for years and what they already know on a soul level. The lesson's that follow - universal magic, thought creation and manifestation, oneness, the soul beyond the self, existing in the now, and absence of evil - aren't groundbreaking, but instead deliver a certain type of clarity that's usually attained by being deftly reminded of something you already knew.
Those exploring what's commonly referred to as new age thought - which Ambrose calls esoteric teachings and points out are actually very old - for the first time will find "Nine Life Altering Lessons" an easy, accessible entry into alternative belief. The simplicity of the structure, the language and the teachings themselves are easy to read and understand. Those already familiar with the basic concepts might find this a useful book to help remind them of truths that are easily forgotten in modern society. Either group can glean insight from Ambrose's words, either by reading the book end-to-end or in random bursts.
The guide, however, isn't without its drawbacks, one of which is Ambrose's constant reminders that, as a newcomer to this school of thought or a "Neophyte," as she calls it, the reader cannot possibly hope to obtain the full benefit of the teachings. Those reminders, coupled with equally plentiful caveats that the full-strength versions of the lessons can't be committed to paper, might leave the readers - especially those doubtful at the outset -- feeling as if excuses are being made should they fail to actualize the teachings in their own life.
Not that Ambrose is wrong to note that salvation - despite the overblown life-altering promise of the title - cannot be found in a book. Always, she makes it clear that she's written the guide as an entry into spiritual exploration and not complete encapsulation of what needs to be known. So even when that cautionary language verges on condescension, those searching for meaning could do worse than to pick up "Nine Life Altering Lessons." If nothing else, they will alter their outlook on ideology.
Life AlteringWhere do I start? How about, from the bottom of my heart thank you Kala! I finished this book a while ago now and it has had, and continues to have, deep and profound implications for me. I was going to write this when the positive changes started to peter out or stop but they just keep on coming. What did I learn? In short, I discovered self-love. And it is truly transformational. Without love you feel like a hungry ghost, I've been searching (and discovering) for such a long time without any, or very little, permanent change. I would discover something, that good feeling would be fleeting, or I would know the information I'm learning is truly wise, however, like a ghost it would just pass through me. Love has the most potent seed of, dare I say it, life-altering power imaginable, and it is this book that gave me the breakthrough I really needed. To those who can relate to these words I can't recommend this book enough.
