Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-04 00:00:00 Ras Trut This book is my last remaining hope for falling in love with God (again?). Christianity has destroyed my image of anything related to spirituality- this book is the only comfort I have left. I believe it may very well hold the only true message humanity ever needed to know of God.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-07-25 00:00:00 Albert Kiefer There was an interesting story to how I came to own this book which is the only reason I was actually able to struggle through the half of it I read. One year at the Warped tour I was approached by a man with who was wearing really strange pants and he had this funny top-knot haircut. He called himself a monk and had a back pack full of these books 'The Science of self-realization'. I was touched by how he insisted that the book was free with any donation I would make to whatever church, but in the end I did give him five bucks, the printed cover price. Categorized Eastern Philosophy / Meditation / Yoga, I was just really didn't know what I had in my hands. I trusted that for this Spiritualist to invoke the word of Science, he might have something new to say. As chance would have it I was soon to depart on a crazy journey to a foreign, non English speaking country and I choose this as the one and only book to bring with. I struggled through it waiting to find something that would reflect my idea of scientific method being applied to religion in some way... honestly I don't know what I thought I would find. What I did find was His Divine Grace insisting that the only path to enlightenment was to recite his chants and invoke the words in his language to 'Praise God'. Why must it be vocalized. My creator is so advanced he can see right into my through my thoughts, into my true intentions. He also tended to claim many crazy things were a proven fact and offered very few sources that were not in a language I didn't understand. Basically I'm just a bit upset because I was sold an incredible story by a self proclaimed monk in clown pants. Then I took this book to a place were I had nothing else to read and I was stuck with it. There were some amazing hints on the cover that could have averted this confusion, like the size of the text used for the word Science being so small and 'His Divine Grace''s Self-Realization being so big.
