Journey to Perfection – a review
At last, a book which brings together all the various aspects of New Age thinking, in simple and easily understood text. The often overwhelming variety of disciplines, all brought together in perfect unison, making pure sense at last!
I read this book with great enthusiasm, recognising so many aspects of my own journey through life, finally understanding what so many other authors have been trying to convey for so long. The author, by way of his own experience, knows exactly what lies at the heart of each and every individual who believes that we are Soul, and that we live this earthly life to develop and understand our Soul Purpose.
Ever since I majored in Philosophy at the University of Stellenbosch almost 30 years ago, I have tried to live my life consciously, intuitively aware of the metaphysical, the mysterious, the unknown. It has led to an unfolding of life in so many facets, for which I am truly grateful. To embrace the unknown in blind faith that all is well, and that the universe is unfolding as it should, is not without its bravery, and it is good to know that in our search for spiritual truth, we are indeed, all ONE.
We learn lessons every day, and we are here to teach and learn. The more we share, the sooner we progress towards that enlightenment we all seek, that illumination that brings with it great peace and fulfilment.
I found the politically-inclined chapters most enlightening – I have been struggling to formulate very similar awareness, in South African context, and was relieved to read what I could barely formulate in Part IV. I immediately shared these chapters with my local government, as well as fellow citizens. It would be wonderful to be able to distribute Journey to Perfection as a much-needed gift to some key role-players in my town!
In the face of a changing world, the knowledge that all is evolving as it should, and that we are finally entering the age of enlightenment so long predicted by and longed for by mankind, is truly consoling and rekindles the flame of eternal hope that ultimately Good will prevail and that the Divine will manifest itself on earth, through each and every one of us.
I am a great fan and supporter of Mr John Riley, and wish to thank him for this book, wishing him every success for the future which embraces us all.
I know this book is set to inspire many other likeminded searchers for perfection in life. I would love to see this book prescribed for schools, to prepare teenagers for the New World Order into which they have been born and to acquaint them with these, by now more familiar, metaphysical disciplines.
