Summary: Definately worth reading
Review: I have read many books on spiritual awakening over the past 15 years including "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" (by Dan Millman) mentioned by one of the other readers who wrote a review for this book and no other single book reached me in the way that "Initiation" did.
Sure there is the girlie "fluff" but that is to be anticipated considering it was written by a woman and mother. I guess the effect this book may have on a person is in great part determined by where they are in their life spiritually at the time they read it, but I must say that this book caused me to look deeper and to consider more than any other I had read before.

Yes it gets slow going at times and yes it changes tempo or style wiout prior warning, but such is real life. Its pages are filled with such descriptive imagery about ancient Egypt that anyone studying Egyptology or Hermeticism will find it a refreshingly different read. I may find another book that comparitively teaches me more or inspires an even deeper insight than this book could have ever accomplished, but then, I needed this book to unlock the door. Now that that is done, I can roam all through my spiritual mansion undeterred, exploring what all the new rooms have lying in store for me -for getting past that locked front door was my biggest challenge and this book was the allegorical "key".

This book may not be the end, but it will definately afford one more step towards that end.

Summary: This book has had a profound and positive effect on my life.
Review: All things happen for a reason and it was no mistake that a virtual stranger passed this book on to me after a brief conversation. It marked a special place in my spiritual journey. I didn't read it as fiction because it felt like "home" to me, that in a previous existence, I had walked that path. The familiarity was unquestionable. I'm an artist and I created a painting entitled "STEP INTO ETERNITY" to honor that experience. I recently recommended this book to someone and was happy to see that Amazon could provide it. It's been 17 years since I received that gift and it's impression still stays strong with me. May those who are drawn to it be so inspired on their own journey.

Summary: careful with such books...
Review: Elisabeth Haich's Initiation truly counts to the few gems in esoteric writings. I just wanted to utter a general warning - "You can't unread a book" - once you have read it your subconsciousness will work with the information you have gathered and it can easily push you into a higher stage of consciousness...

Summary: A blueprint to self-realization & a map to the eternal soul
Review: How I was directed to the existence of this book is as mysterious as why the book itself exists. But I know that if you are even reading this review, you too have endured a period of intense displeasure with everything around you, followed by despair and unmeasurable desire to change it for better. Because of your selfless commitment to accepting the unpopular, almost forgotten road that leads to Self-realization, you will feel as if you were sitting at the feet of the author, being blessed by her mystical tutelage. I can almost visualize you wanting to throw the book to the floor as the italicized passages seem to be calling you out of your obscurity. Trust in it- this is the way it was meant to unfold. It is impossible to weigh these truths against even the most cynical intellect and not accept them fully, for as I was told, it is the belief in these Universal truths that have become obscured and unknown to 85% of the entire world. 10% knows, practices, but misuses these powers, while you, a neophyte of the remaining 5%, has been steadfast in this reality, accepting it as your own. For this reason, you have been chosen to behold these pages with the utmost sincerity and purity of heart. May we meet again in the lavish gardens of the temple. Htpu and tua NTR.

Summary: Very meaningful
Review: I am struck that the others who reviewed this book also mention how long it has remained important to them. This is the single most important and enduring book in my life and that's saying a lot. At every stage in my life, I have found new guidance, support and understanding in its pages.

Summary: Explains every question about god, spirit, life and death.
Review: I just happened to go to a psychic and she told me that my spirit guides told me I should read this book. My spirit guide said that it would explain all the questions I have ever had about god, where I came from, and my past lives. And boy did it ever. The book goes in to great detail about birth, life, death, reincarnation, zodiacs, and so much more. I recommend it to anyone who is confused about god, religion or their spiritual well being. The content of this book will explain everything. I read every word in two days and accepted it as truth, not fiction.

Summary: This book is a life-changer
Review: I read this book for the first time in my early teens, and twenty years later I am still coming back to it. With every read there is more recognition, truth and beauty to discover. There are so many more facets to the story than I suspected during the first read. Although the book lifts off slowly and some later chapters are decidedly difficult at a first confrontation with the subject matter, I recommend this book with all my heart to anyone even remotely interested in the esoteric sciences.

Summary: Absolutely Mind Blowing
Review: I've been encountering a few paranormal experiences of late and never really understood what I was going through until my boyfriend recommended I read this book. The book was absolutely mind blowing for me because every now and then it would refer to a few things that I have experienced myself. It got me realising that I should never let unique experiences pass without questioning or delving into the matter further. I must say this book absolutely opened my eyes to greater potential and possibilities.

Summary: Enlightening Must-Read
Review: I, like many others, was told I had to read this book. I purchased it within days and literally inhaled the wisdom and truth that unfolded from its pages. I have just begun my spiritual journey in earnest and this book has pushed me further than any other reading has thus far. I felt I had lived it. as often I knew what the author would say before reading the printed words. I have since recommended it to others and found out it is no longer in print...as it turns out I picked up the last copy in a Tri-city area. I knew then I was chosen to receive this knowledge and I know I will refer to its guidance for my lifetime and plan to share it with as many as I can so we can all be a part of healing our souls and bring our lives closer to our creator...This novel has influenced me in a positively spiritual way.
