Greetings,

No, have not even read it. However, a Google search turned up this, the blurbs and table of contents- and reviews of the author- give a less than spectacular picture. The table of contents vary long for 176 pages, so it can be expected that he dose not spend much time on any one topic. The description given by the publisher makes it sound more like a compilation of spells than an explanation of the why and how of the system. It seems to be going over the Chinese folk religion as well, which in cooperates any number of aspects from several religions- as apposed to Taoism itself- with out the mythology to back it up. In that respect it appears unfocused, and superficial. Again this is all with out reading the book, a grain of salt would be prudent.

Cheery-Bye

--------------------
Cosmic consciousness is devoid of diversity; yet the universe of diversity exists in notion....
We contemplate that reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs,
from which everything has emerged, which is the cause of everything and which is everything....
The light of [this] self-knowledge alone illumines all experiences. It shines by its own light.
This inner light appears to be outside and to illumine external objects.

-Sage Vasishtha
