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.

Opened my mind to many new concepts! Can’t wait to read volume 2. Confirms many of my personal beliefs, and clarified others. Highly recommend!

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.
