- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great read, and insightful imagery of the current state of humanity. We have already progressed much since the conception of this think piece, yet the basics of the message of how to treat each human being with each encounter remains true. Beautifully Articulated ?
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting to get from this book, but whatever it was, I didn't get it.I mean, maybe if I could have read this book without so much skepticism, I would have enjoyed it more. But the author starts out telling the reader about the "Master of the Key," as he calls him. A strange man comes to the author's hotel room late at night, spouts on for an undetermined length of time, has the author drink some white liquid, and then leaves. When the author wakes up in the morning, he isn't certain if this was all just a dream; he was so unsure of himself, in fact, that he called his wife to tell her to remind him that it was real if he ever doubted it. He took some almost-indecipherable notes of this "encounter," but he couldn't really read them; instead, he touched them and he remembered snippets of the conversation.And...I'm supposed to take this seriously? Umm, no.There's nothing groundbreaking to be found here; it feels very disjointed and rambling. I don't know how this book got such high ratings on Amazon. The stuff dealing with religion is rather weird. The so-called "Master of the Key" has a lot of good things to say about Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. Umm. What happened to the other major religions of the world? What happened to Judaism, which inspired both Christianity and Islam? Or what about NO religion? The author's Catholic, and he's coincidentally studied these three religions that the "Master of the Key" seemingly favors, and it's obvious where his bias is.And just a personal rant, which most people will probably think is strange, but I HATE the stereotype of Jews being some sort of super-intelligent people, which is just perpetrated here (the reason, according to the "Master of the Key," that people are still living on earth is because some super-genius' parents were killed in the Holocaust, so s/he was never born, so we still have to obey gravity). I mean, yes, there are definitely some geniuses among us, but most of us are just normal, everyday people. I hate always being labeled as "other."
