Aloha,
For about 22 years I am a practitioner of the updated Ho'oponopono-process from Morrnah Simeona, who brings balance and joy in my daily life. So I feel free, to comment this book called Zero Limits.

I do not care that it is a promotion book for activities of the authors. But I care for the legacy of Morrnah. In that view the book does not reflect her genuine teachings, it is mixed up with other ideas, therefore creating a different system - but is referring to Morrnah.

Doing her Ho'oponopono is primarily not what is promised on the cover. Wealth can be comfortable side-effects. The process is for releasing negative energies out of your mind and the mind of others involved at a given problem. The result is a blessing from the Divine Creator for all involved parties - but which kind is His choice. And Yes, the Way of Morrnah leads step by step to Peace and FREEDOM for you and your family and relatives, for your neighbors and your circle of acquaintances. May be even the landscape around you will have less traffic, more flowers and so on. You and those you are associated with will be on the track of evolution again. But one thing will not happen: It will not lead to Zero. The Divine is not Zero, the Divine is LIFE itself.

To say e.g. to the Unihipili "I love you, I am sorry, please forgive me, thank you" are not key phrases of the Ho'oponopono - even they are written on many pages of the book. They work for sure, as you profit from the huge thought forms of LOVE, FORGIVENESS or THANKS. Unihipili - or your subconsciousness - is then in a well-feeling vibration, pretending your problems are erased. But not so. Your mind is simply manipulated. These words are a kind of murmuring a mantra, of singing a catchy record. With temporarily effect. Morrnah never taught this sequence. Her way was writing down the problems ... and doing the Ho'oponopono-process. There the words of Love, Forgiveness and so on are used in the context of the whole process - the deciding difference, beside the final erasing.

The proposal that the Divine is a Zero state (page 31) is neither the ancient way of Ho'oponopono nor the modern way of Morrnah. It seems to be the new way of Dr. Stanley Hew Len, based on a misunderstanding of the Void. Void exists as an emptiness of any matter, as an Ultraconsciousness beyond all consciousness as Man can be aware of - but it is anything else than Zero. It is - as Morrnah would say - the undefinable Pure. When doing her Ho'oponopono, Divinity will simply cleanse your Unihipili from all (emotional) rubbish what is not you, but it will let untouched this part of your Self-Identity, your ability of having feelings.

It is no surprise for me that the two authors attracted each other: One calls himself "Mr.Fire", the other one is otherwise known as "Haleakala" (House of the Sun). Since some years he changed to "Ihaleakala" (Divine House of the Sun). He is not a master teacher. A master teacher is not working with material labels, business cards and the like (page119). They surely will bring results, but magically, manmade. They will become binding fetishes, created out of fear. If s.o. feels free of doing a Mahiki, these labels will be worthless within the twinkle of an eye - all of them.

"I've been told to kill the Divine to be home" (page 172). Did I hear the falling down of a mask from Stan? Will all come out as a Judas-story? In an interview in April 1985 (The Movement Newspaper, L.A., CA), Morrnah said: "By loving ourselves, we are loving the Divine". Consequently if killing the Divine, we kill ourselves. This message helps nobody. Morrnah opened the door for a new partnership between Divinity and Man, Stan seems intending to close this door.

Stan claimed having healed criminals in the Hawaii State Hospital only by looking through the files while murmuring the above sequence "I love you, etc." (page 41). THAT WAS NOT SO. He did the Way of Morrnah: Ho'oponopono-processes, the long form. And yes, for more than three years it was him who started humbly the process of expressing repentance to the criminals and their doctors, asking them for forgiveness, forgiving them and asking Divinity for healing all who are involved. Divinity accepted this altruistic plea and transformed step by step all negative memories and karmic bondages inside him AND inside the others into Light - as it was no accident, that Stan worked in this special hospital from 1983-1987. He was not responsable for these folks, he was the cause.

It might be attractive to get an honorable name from a kind of Guru (page 57/58), but it will not only lead to a longlasting bondage, it will also split your personality. Everybody's choice.

Every moment there are new problems under the sky as you are creating karma, which means: What you do to others (by living up your free will), you will experience on yourself. If you create problems, you will experience problems. You are the cause. Surely from that moment on you KNOW that you are the creator of your life, you are responsable for your future thoughts, words and deeds. You are responsable for the welfare of your Unihipili. But Morrnah never said, that you are "100% responsable" of what you did in the past (page 41), because this is both binding and not true. Often others, unknown to you, are also involved. Furthermore it is giving you a feeling of guilt in the neighborhood of the original sin.

If a dog is barking to you, let it bark. It is its way to talk with you. It is its way of feeling LIFE. If it disturbs you, do not stop it by having magic ideas in your mind (page 153). Again Morrnah would say just cleanse, that and why you are not comfortable with its barking.

You should not try to cleanse the 50 millions, who voted in your mind for the "wrong" president (page 168). May be you take over their Karma. Ask for cleansing why you are angry about their vote; Divinity will decide - that is it, what Morrnah would tell you. You are the cause if you are angry.

O ka Maluhia no me oe - Peace be with you, the Peace of I. AND IT IS DONE.

This book is the account of Joe Vitale's search for the truth about Ho'oponopono as practised by Ihaleakala Hew Len. As far a I could understand it invovles "cleaning", repeating the phrases "I love you", "Please forgive me", and "I'm sorry". I found the story of his serach interesting enough to read but this "cleaning" seemed to be similar to repeating a mantra with no rational explanation of the purpose. Despite the testimonies of success of this system, I was not persuaded that it works. I didn't find Zero Limits a useful book, rather a sales pitch for Hew Len's seminar.

I love books that have beginnings, middles and ends. I am sorry to say this has none of that. Please forgive me for mentioning Zero Limits was filled with self promotion and under delivers like so many of these so called self help books that are now flooding the market. Thank you for allowing me to express my disappointment once again.

I chose this rating because with the right understanding there can be no other. I have been practicing Healing for many years and this book makes so much sence. The book was first loaned to me then I was hooked.
I am on my second time reading and I know I will read a third as I want to miss
nothing by chance and to make sure I got it right. I Highly recommend this book
to everyone to read and use at least once.Twice will take care of itself. Would have
loved to purchase ten more or more to issue as gifts. Just Amazing. Can't say enough about this book.

Joe Vitali has been a marketer for so many years that everything he now writes or says during interviews is designed to promote or sell his products. Like other reviewers, I have been repeated annoyed by the endless marketing for his product that Joe does in his books. I am irritated by this because the books are much thicker than they would need to be without the marketing, and also by the fact that I paid for his advertising. The Attractor Factor and Zero Limits are prime examples of Joe's ability to get other people to pay for the advertisement of his products under the pretense of offering them information that will improve their life.

I have always had trouble with the "'law of attraction"' as it is presented in the popular book, The Secret, because I found that I don''t always attract the specific thing I am focusing on. Often, I attract something that is even better that what I thought I wanted --' something that is more fulfilling, and something that is always in the best interests of everybody. Up to now, the only book that ever explained to me why the universe seems to have a mind of its own, is 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat: A Guide for Living Life in the Divine Flow' by Steven Lane Taylor. But now there''s Zero Limits by Joe Vitale. I love this book because, like Mr. Taylor''s, it clearly explains the difference between intention and inspiration . . . and it shows how love is the "'real secret"' for manifesting a wonderful life. I recommend both of these books.

I purchased this book because I enjoy the work done by Joe Vitale. However, as much as I have embraced the study of Ho'oponopono and the mantra shared, Joe's own flavor in this book wasn't as interesting. Dr Hew Len, the co-writer is amazing and even though I don't agree with everything Joe shares in this book, I do appreciate it was a way to learn a bit more about Hawaiian Shamanism and the cleaning process.

I found it fasinating. I have done the Ho'oponopono as it is explain in the book and as help me in my struggles.

I have been a fan of Joe Vital's work since I watched the Secret and believe he is doing great things for everyone in the universe. If you want to believe that his methods of teaching is false then you believe that. However, if you want to open up your mind and try something new then listen to his work. All Joe and Dr. Hew are telling us to do is become clear with ourselves from the inside and the outside results will change. You don't have to say I love you to yourself and the divine all day long you can say thank you or god bless you or whatever u want ... just be positive and love the universe cause it has given you so much...
Since I have been using his methods for a few days it has worked for me and I feel like a more positive , energetic person ... I love life more and the people around me notice it as well.
I love you!!!!

Sure, perhaps there are a bit too many testimonials and promotional mentionings for some people's liking, but that's Joe. Without him, so many people would not have this opportunity to learn about ho'oponopono, and I am grateful.

Zero Limits is desiged to be an introduction to ho'oponopono. The concept itself is weird enough for the average person to accept, so what you learn in this book is enough to absorb for a while. If you feel inspired to learn more, seek it out.

From what I understand about the process, you should be your own guru and listen to your own inspiration -- don't let another person dictate what is right for you. Dr. Hew Len is here to simply open our eyes to what is possible. But as for techniques, what may work for one may not work for another -- and what Morrnah was inspired to do and teach may not have been exactly what Dr. Hew Len is inspired to do and teach. Morrnah was an incredible human being, but she was not the only channel to God or inspiration, and I sense that she would never have tried to convince anyone otherwise. I'm sure she would have welcomed anybody to find within themselves what is right for them, not just to do exactly what she told them to do. The point is to talk to God in your own way, find your own channel, and peace will begin with you. This book just presents a way for you to begin your journey.

Dr. Hew Len didn't claim that *all* he did was the 4 phrases, only that it was what he did most consistently. I don't feel like getting too much into the other claims *presented* in another review here, but I don't sense much love or peace coming from them, and it's throwing me off a bit too, to tell the truth. Congrats, presenter, for your success in planting your seeds of bitterness.

... huh.. funny... I suddenly do feel sincerely grateful for this opportunity to clean.
