Walter Russell was a accomplished sculptor, painter and philosopher who believed that every man has consummate genius within him. He became known as a natural philosopher and for his unified theory in physics and cosmogony.
He posited that the universe was founded on a unifying principle of rhythmic balanced interchange. This theory is laid out primarily in his books The Secret of Light and The Message of the Divine Iliad.
Russell was a polymath and also proficient in architecture, music, business and ice skating. He became a professor at the institution he founded with his wife, the University of Science and Philosophy.
Not fond of this material. The channeled material and the first narrative voice were clear and concise, but the second narrative voice is a con-artist working from the accurate source material. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone that isnt well versed in the skill of discernment.
Otherwise the book speaks of the dao rather beautifully for a westerner. You wont find anything that hasnt been said before by better authors though.
Russell teaches you the actual physical workings of the universe clearly and cleanly. Understanding this allows you to see the principles in action, and allows you to use the principles in everything from your philosophies to your practical daily life.
what an amazing book. since after this i have started reading the home study course by walter&lao russell, i realized that this book hadnt really "dawned" on me before i started getting even deeper into the russell cosmology and thoughtwork. now i need to re-read this, since it is a staggering book!
I started reading Walter Russell about ten Years ago now. I don't stray far from it, because, in my head and heart, I know it to be true. He was a Cosmic messenger from God. And if you believe it or don't, It is your choice. For me, I'll study this man's work to the day I die. I know it to be true, Now if I am smart enough to comprehend the material is another question. It gets deep.
