Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightment, July 6 2002
By Betty Suarez - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: LAZY MAN'S GUIDE/ (Mass Market Paperback)
I read the "Lazyman" for the first time in 1987. Since then, I've read it, I've lost count...100 times, perhaps more. This book is transformative--everything I read before or after converges in the "Guide." A mere 80 pages of bliss and incomparable wisdom, it's responsible for rescuing me from many freak-out times. I've used the "Guide" as a course in my own life: I've studied it in times of peace; run to it in times of grief and despair; traveled with it and used it as an anchor--in case of emergencies. It's been a source of frustration and inspiration.
I owe a lot to it's author, who by the way, I've tried to locate many times without success. I was successful one time in 1994. I wrote the publisher and they, very gracefully, forwarded my letter to him. He replied to me then and that was the last I heard. At the time Thaddeus Golas, who goes by Tad, was living in Florida, he was 74 years old and doing well. I'm still trying to find him--maybe he's gone home....I wanted to read the book he wrote with his earthly mind--"Love and Pain"--it's never been published, and he wrote to me that "it was no match for the "Guide," but still I'd like to read it.
I wonder if anyone knows his whereabouts...Obviously,"Lazyman" is out of print, why? Now, as always, we need this guide. And, thank you brothers and sisters in bliss for letting my consciousness be in this place. Thank you, Tad, wherever you are.

A book I go back to whenever life gets too weird, Mar 11 2007
By Ripple - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: LAZY MAN'S GUIDE/ (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a GREAT little book that I've had for years. So quick and easy to read or reference, and yet so power-packed with straight-forward gems about life, energy, and our place in it. I've rushed to retrieve this book from my bookshelf many times, just to remind myself where I want to be when things feel too weird.
A few of my favorite lines from the book...
"What am I doing on a level of consciousness where this is real?"
"Love as much as you can from wherever you are."
"No resistance."
"All states of consciousness are available right now."
The author's explanation of how people vibrate at different speeds/frequencies -- and how each one subconsciously tries to pull others to their frequency -- was pivotal in my understanding of the undercurrent in relations.
But the biggest life-saver for me from this book was in learning and seeing how LOVING IT ALL can rebalance me in the midst of anything.
(Now, if I can just remember that when some intoxicating drama has me whipped into a blind frenzy! That's why it's good for me to keep this book within reach. :-)
