My review is based not on the book itself, as it was read it so long ago, I don't remember details, which is somewhat remarkable, as I remember the effect of the book. transformative, profound revelationary, this is the best I can manage. I was transformed into worlds of thought, deep thought, worlds where intent and meaning reigned. The book required a serious commitment from the reader of Attention and willingness-to-truth, a remarkable requirement, adding to the books magic. A classic that lived up to it billing.

I have a similar belief about transformative books, Syl. The details are not nearly as important as what we still carry with us a decade or more later.

All the books on my shelf, expect the one recently added, are from a few decades ago. It's instructed when looking to back, to see that has stuck, and what the impressions were. The details tend to fade from such a perspective, and what remains, counts indeed. When life allows, I will be doing more such reviews of those books which have a remaining impression. In the meantime, I am thick in the process of constructing an online course and 3-day workshop on a book series like this. One which made a deep impression, an impression which has been considerably extended, which is the focus of the course and workshop. :)
