Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect
Review: This book helps me look at our Universe in a completely new and exciting way. I read it over and over again. I recommend it to anyone with an open mind.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb!!
Review: Too bad it's out of print now. The book was given to me as a Christmas gift, as I am a professional tarot reader and book collector. I have been looking for something like this to add to my collection for years now. The section on palmistry is excellent. I was able to hit on some very accurate points with a friend using the book to read her palm. I can't wait to try and read the tea leaves. I will certainly be reading this from cover to cover more than once. A great reference material for the novice as well as the professional.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Old Claptrap, Disjointed, Narrow, And Pompous . . .
Review: Typical.

The thing that really bothers me about this sort of drivel is that any real spritual/occult truths out there have little chance of being heard against the background din of this type of material.

Mr. Zolar, for all his criticism of the scientific method, just doesn't get it and what comes across in spades is his *resentment* of it.

Like it or not, the scientific method brought humanity out of the dark ages. For good or bad, we've developed superior medicine, nuclear power, and put men on the moon, all in the past few hundred years. Know how much progress we made before then? Not much. If it were not for the scientific method Zolar poo poos so thoroughly, we'd all still be arguing over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Assuming we were alive at all - no easy guess considering there would be no antibiotics.

This stuff is nonsense folks. It was nonsense 500 years ago, did nothing useful, and that's still the case today.

Too bad really, because there probably is much more to life than we perceive and understand today. Mr. Zolar has no clue though. Try _The Fabric Of Reality_ by David Deutsch. That is, of course, if your not "too narrow minded, threatened by knowledge or other belief systems, blah blah blah" . . .

... what I read was disjointed and lacking direction; one trite cliche occult buzz phrase after another in no particular order, with no particular overriding point. Except of course that Zolar is right and if you question that, let alone disagree, you must be narrow, small minded, and lack vision.

Truly, truly bad. ...
