Magical States of Consciousness: Pathworking on the Tree of Life (Llewellyn's Inner Guide) Paperback – Illustrated, 12 Sept. 2012

Excellent and swift service

This book is not to be taken lightly. If you are serious about changing your life in a positive way and are not afraid to confront your own ideology this is the way. The readings in this book offer and deeply life altering and mind bending exploration of archtypes in collective consciousness. Follow the directions in a pristine manner. Be aware of the timing of your readings. I recommend you read the path workings in a group setting.You will be impacted in ways you cannot imagine. Do not enter into reading this frivolously -it is a serious tome of extreme impact.

It is very hard to read and understand . I bought several of the denning and phillips "how to" set. It seems in magical states of consciousness the authors were worried about using fancy pants vocabulary that no one else uses. For example: Salubrious, or "ambivalence is enthroned". Books on spiritual enlightenment are usually hard enough to get a handle on, especially when they introduce new concepts and ideas. This one was written in a manner that neither helps one understand or that is necessary to explain. Prepare to get you vocabulary expanded. Even at the cost of your valuable time and energy. Even over content atleast on page 14. If (when finished) I can walk on water and recite the dictionary I will edit my comment.

I found this book interesting. To know one self is and axciom "man know thyself " but how does man get to know himself. It's through meditation that we achieve this self awareness. It's not a new idea just one that has been written mystically . We are so far away our true nature that we see and read about it and not understand . How to become conscious of our surroundings. This book is a path to this realization (divine).

This is an actual manual, complete with incantations of magical rites. The philosophical and metaphysical implications are pretty wonderful and it's letting me explore new horizons. As for the incantation and rituals... They may just awake you...I'm still working on it.

This book was for my husband and he didn't started it yet. But he is very happy to have it as he was after it for a long time!
