Didn’t Like It

Cynthia T
  • Rated 2 stars

Too difficult to stick it out and read through. This is the kind of book in which you need time to reflect what was read, allow it to sink in... also, it has a large section in the back with archetypes, and you have to read through those first to really understand what type dominates who you...

    This has definitely helped me on my own inner journey to understand my motivations and fears and strengths. It does take some time to get through - this took me about 6 months of reading and doing the work. I also went to someone who reads archetype cards and had studied under Caroline Myss. She was a fantastic guide. I recommend this to anyone serious about introspection.

    I wish I could get everyone to read and understand this book! It changes the way you look at life and the things that happen in it.

    In this book Myss explains how our souls make a sacred contract before we are born. This contract would include things we are to do for ourselves, for others, or for the world. In the book, she attempts to help you find your archetype so you can uncover what the purpose is for your life.

    I appreciate the concept of Caroline Myss's endeavor, the idea of great spiritual unrest in failing to understand one's divine potential, but the book didn't enrapture me. She combines doctrine from Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu theology into a sort of spiritual 'soup' that lacks any distinction. Though her description of archetypes are food for thought, her hyperspiritual vocabulary was mostly lost on me.

    Caroline Myss (pronounced mace) is an American medical intuitive and mystic as well as the author of numerous books and audio tapes. Myss holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Indiana, and a master's degree in theology from Mundelein College. She also claims to hold a Ph.D in "intuition and energy medicine",[1][2] but the degree was granted by Greenwich University, a now-defunct correspondence school that was never accredited to deliver higher education awards by any recognized government accreditation authority.[3] She has collaborated extensively with Dr. Norman Shealy, an M.D. schooled at Harvard.[1] She tours internationally as a speaker on spirituality and lives in Chicago

    I may never finish this book. There is no much to process in it. So many things that ring true to me. Even though it's basically an instructional book, it reads like a story.

    A great process oriented book that helps you get to your root archetypes. It helps you understand the contracts you have made with yourself and others in this life. I found this book an interesting read and it gave me a very indepth look at myself. Very enlightening! This book is not for people who are not willing to be honest with themselves.
