The Spiritual Laws of Thought (The Spiritual Principles Behind As a Man Thinketh)

I read chapter's 1 & 4 and was taken in by your writing style and research. You are a thinker and you inspire the readers to be thinkers, as well. This could be a very powerful thought provoking study. However I am drawn back to the first paragraph where you state that "Truth is the actuality behind the thing." When I was looking at this I had not realized that the one who commented before me highlighted the same question. I was not able to comprehend what "the thing" is. I believe just stating what the thing is my resolve the question in the reader's mind or you can follow that, as earlier suggested, with some examples. Enough said. Good read and best I wish you the best of luck with this.

One of the propositions is, "Truth is misunderstood."


That assertion obligates the writer to answer the question, "Why, how is Truth misunderstood?"

The author continues, making ever more assertions.

Assertion: "Truth is the actuality behind the thing."

I think the author is obligated to explain. For example, what "thing" is he talking about? Perhaps an example or two would make the point more clearly.

But then again, is this the thesis of the book? In my way of thinking, a propositional book like this should begin with the thesis, a specific statement of what the author is up to, what he hopes to accomplish, and then every chapter should be honed to accomplish that.

Be wary of "proving" assertions by further unproven assertions. An opinion is an opinion, and a fact is a fact, but if I am to be convinced of an arguement, I must be presented with convincing evidences, not with more mere assertions.


The author writes: "Truth beckons us towards the recognition of a Master."

I am uncertain of how to interpret this assertion. For example, does the author mean to say that truth waves us onward toward some supposed Master whose recognition we crave? Or does he mean that truth beckons us onward to the point that we might recognize a Master? If so, is this a particular Master or just any only Master who had the credentials to be so-called?

Well, I am becoming weary of this now so I am going to move on. I wish the author good luck as he goes about revising and polishing, as we all find we must do now and then.

First, I am thankful for your comments. However, the tone I discern appears to be, "I don't believe in your God and need physical proofs to back up your assertions." The Master I spoke of is well explained, yet will never be acknowledged by anyone not thus believing. With this - I wish you well...

A highly propositional piece.

After reading Ch 1, one can only hope that subsequent chapters provide evidence for the opinions stated. Assuming that the purpose of Ch 1 is to establish a thesis, then the remaining chapters should be devoted to backing up those early statements.

Does that happen? I don't know. I have not gotten that far yet, but if I get time to seek out the answer, I will attempt posting a second comment.

J. Krishnamurti states that 'the thinker and the thought are one'.
A very thought-provoking read and easy to follow.
Backed.

THE SPIRITUAL LAWS OF THOUGHT
This is a thought provoking book. I like the idea that we are what we think. Also that spontaneous actions are all right (I tend to do the same things over and over; my wife, in contrast, is always ready for a new experience). I think you’ll find an audience for this among church and temple discussion groups who are looking tryin to improve their spiritual health. I’m happy to add it to my shelf. If you have a moment, would you look at mine (Grain of Salt)? I’m in 3rd place but only holding on by my teeth. Burgio

Dear Tony

I have to comment on your short and long pitch, as they both encourage your reader to delve deeper into your book. you certainly have a way of crafting that really keeps me ( your reader) wanting to really finish this read As one reads your work it becomes obvious that you have done done much research which gives addedd interest.


BACKED BY ME FOR SURE.
Please take a moment to look, COMMENT which is important to me, and BACK my book. if not that is OK

Dear Tony, I love that you are lifting up God because He loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son Who said, "I am the Way, The Truth, & the Life. no man comes to the Father but by Me." :) I am so thankful that Jesus died & rose again & that He's my Saviour. :) Hope you'll write a lot more books. :) Hope you'll also back my 2 memoir/testimony books. :) Thanks so very much. :) Love, Susie :)
