And yet ... The few lines that follow will prove of great severity vis-à-vis this book. It must be said that there are many things to point, but remember this: this book is an excellent investment; it devours, it makes you think and ultimately to the end of the book you want to read more without hesitation. I therefore advise, provided remain cautious vis-à-vis what is said. Explanation:
Redfield is a wise guy: his book gives to see a hero who will gradually discover 9 revelations bringing him the knowledge of the right way forward for humanity. These revelations are 9 knowledge that is essential to know to progress and reach the last stage of evolution. Um ... as the Gnostics? That's 21 centuries of communities say the same thing Redfield. For his novel is actually thought as a spiritual elevation program! So much so that the author forgets that he is a writer: zero degree of writing. Everything is written in the style of American books on happiness or love, with hyper standardized formulations, people who speak so Lipid the first time and that he had barely met you directly address the subject revelations. Thus, the hero spends his time meet people who spontaneously teach him a new revelation: they all express the same way and are so similar that you wonder why the hero falls in love with Marjorie and no Julia since they behave in exactly the same way.
Then, regarding the theories of Redfield, how to say ... If all this sounds so true is that everything is! But the catch is that not a single thing written in this book is his fault: the coincidences which are signs to follow to rise? See theories synchronicity developed by people like Carl G. Jung or Hubert Reeves; the conception of the history of the West? No problem, you learn all this in FCC History; nuclear physics and energy that would reveal the divine? A theory developed by leading scientists as in the book The Tao of Physics; the fact that we are conditioned by our childhood and the child's relationship with the parent of the opposite sex? Sigmund Freud, psychoanalysis; conflicts between individuals, group phenomena, climbing in aggressiveness? Any good manual social psychology tell you more and Palo-Alto school has theorized it all; Love than reach by releasing exclusive relationship to a person? This is called in Greek agape. The last encyclical of Pope addresses, and it is an old concept developed in antiquity.
You understand, I guess, the "trick": everything is true, but hyper condensed, simplified hyper, hyper digested. In fact, it looks incredibly exciting air and dying to believe. You can! But be careful! Things are not that simple. Never. And if you really want to elevate yourself spiritually, you have to read a long life to trace the origins of all the subjects mentioned in the novel and make your for good!
