Wonderful clues to Spiritual development,
By A Customer
This review is from: Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing (Paperback)
This book provides us with a wonderful outline of spiritual development. It explains the problems we may face in our spiritual development and how they are manifested as physical problems. I love how the author puts together the stages in christianity, judaism, and hinduism and illuminates us to the parellels she finds. I also love how she discusses the flow of spiritual energy and how it affects our physical health. If you'd like to read a fascinating book explaining this using a more rational (rather than intuitive) approach, read "The Ever-Transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato. It explains things like "spiritual energy" and "spiritual" development by relating it to many contemporary theories in Psychology. Both books are absolutely amazing!

Dissecting the Anatomy,
By A.Trendl HungarianBookstore.com "What should ... (Glen Ellyn, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing (Paperback)
In "Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing," readers are asked to reject their religious beliefs.Hitting on the same core market as Tolle, Chopra, and even Dr. Phil, Myss has garned support for her wildly accepted books by pointing out how broken we all are. We are tired. We've endured a tough economy, divorce, 9-11, and lots of personal struggles we never tell anyone. That is what Myss wants to address. But she does it the wrong way. Seven steps seem easy enough to fix our mistakes, hurts, our loneliness and our rejections. According to Myss, the math runs a little like this: A Hindu practice + a Christian practice + a Jewish practice, mixed just so = healing and inner strength. She doesn't stop there. She adds Buddhism whenever she can. Now, Christians who follow the Bible know this is against the rules. In fact, Jews who who read the same Scripture in Deutoronomy know this is against the rules. Why does this matter in a book review? Because categorically, Myss' asserts that Judeo-Christian theology lies when it says, "put no other god before me," and what Jews and Christians believe is wrong. "Anatomy of the Spirit" is all about syncretism, and Myss fails when she thinks spiritually grounded people will accept this. Mixing Gods is a bad idea, but Myss presents it as a possibility. Not acknowledged is that a Jew and Christian must both reject a key Scripture to do so. Moses was pretty ticked when he came back with the Ten Commandments and saw what the Jews were doing with the gold idol. That's what Myss is asking Catholic, Jewish and Protestant readers to do: build a new god from nearby resources. Dr. Phil has more to say than Myss when it comes to healing. He doesn't mask his ideas with a false spirituality. Instead, he just tells the reader to fess up where we've messed up, and to get over the pain others have caused us. He tells us to move on, and start doing what we should be doing. Myss, however, muddies it with watered-down mistaken theology. More depth and truth can be found in "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten: Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things" by Robert Fulghum. Fulgrum breaks it down into a more honest language.

Anatomy of the Spirit:,
By Andrew Jordan (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing (Paperback)
This book has such a promising beginning, with the most wonderful observation that "Your biography becomes your biology". A simple yet stunning summarisation of our cellular organism.For the most part there are many wonderful insights, but the text is often rambling, ambiguous and endlessly repetitious. The theory is very hard to understand, and there are many insignificant trite comments. Page 26 actually says that "If you are spiritually centered and call back your energy from negative beliefs you can eat cat food and still stay healthy"! This is obviously incorrect and a nutritionists nightmare. One of the most interesting observations in the book is by another author, the neurobiologist Dr Candice Pert; who states that, "your mind is in every cell of your body". This kind of clear thinking and clarity would have been a welcome continuation of a book that has one of the most unresolved texts I have ever read.
