Each time I read it, the journey starts again.......2004-04-19

I have read this book 3 times over the last 20 years. Each time I take away new insights for my own journey. There are some very appealing concepts and I will mention a few. Dunne's descrption of the spiritual journey's of Jesus Christ, Gotoma, and Mohammed as both a personal journey with personal truth, a spiritual journey with truth across cultures, and a historic truth across time was excellent. The passages on the "passing over" of Gandhi between religions, carrying insights from one truth to another truth was so relevant to our current Western experiences. The fable of the knight who seeks God on the mountain top and then finds the mountain barren so he must go down into the valley of human enterprise to seek God was beautifully told. I remain fascinated by this statement "Man wishes to become God and God wishes to become Man." I would recommend for those interested in comparative religion, to those who read Carl Jung or Joseph Campbell's comparative mythology, to those who would apply Hegel's thesis, antithesis, and synthesis to world religions, to those who wish to gain benchmarks for their own spiritual quest from an analysis of these benchmarkes for the great spiritual leaders of the world, and to those who love God and enjoy his company in their quest.

Amazing piece of work.......2000-09-14

I didn't know what to expect when I bought this book. What I got was a mixture of so many disciplines... The book is set up in a series of essays, each dealing with a different question or problem, dealing with the individual's journey through life and what different world religions, religious leaders, historians, philosophers, and literary authors have offered about each of these questions. The end result is a highly distilled body of knowledge and truth, real answers come to creatively, pragmatically, using sound arguments and beautiful illustrations. At the same time that it discusses these truths, the book has no hint of judgement, of persuasion, or any other agenda other than finding the core of the matter. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in other cultures, in taking a ride across time and collecting evidence with which to extract truth. It has allowed me to see my life in a number of very different ways that might have taken me decades if ever at all for me to find otherwise. It is evident in the book that this author is not only highly educated and knowledgeable about a broad number of topics, but he is also a keen writer for the average person. His language is both beautiful and clear, very easy to understand, though the ideas themselves may be abstract. In my opinion, John Dunne is one of the best authors writing about spirituality today, and this book is one of his finest.

Excellent tape. Highly recommended!!.......1999-02-13

John Bradshaw identifies 10 reasons (which he calls demons) that destroy relationships, such as high expectations, inefficient communications, family rules, familiarity, need for parental-type of partner. Each reason made me take a hard look at how I contribute to the demise of my relations. Each reason is well thought of and hits home. John also points out to other works that can be a valuable follow up. I highly recommend this tape as a must have for those who are serious about relationships. John talks to you and not at you in these tapes.

Thank you John for a wonderful insight!
