an delightful offering of understandings Mar 15, 2007
You may remember being a child and asking why the sky is blue. You may still be asking this question, but you might also wonder why your aura is blue, or what an aura is, or what a chakra is, or why meditation seems to be a positive thing to practice. George E. Lockett's book, "A Journey Into the Self" might help to answer some of these questions for you, although I'm pretty sure he doesn't explain why the sky is blue.
George is a Spiritual Healer. His book is an offering of understandings; some of which you may have already heard about or thought about, or have just already known about. Our beings are wonderful things that seek out knowledge such as this. It isn't a study guide for there will be no test. It isn't a course in personal journey. It is a contribution to the signposts many of us hope to see along our spiritual paths. George first explains how he came to be where he is today in his life, and how he realized that synchronicity had led him to be a healer. Eighty short articles later, readers are left with a bit of understanding of many topics, from focused breathing to meditation, chakras to the use of crystals, telepathy to the purpose of death. Each article addresses a question, many of which most people have had at one time or another, and offers something to think about, a truth to examine, a possible goal to achieve. The purpose here is to share the information and let the reader do with it what they will. The higher purpose though, is to help make a positive change in the world. I don't see how it cannot.
The book is a gracious thing of strength, for it holds answers to many, hope for others, and an "ah ha" moment of validation to others still. Seeing what you personally have thought about in moments of epiphany, reading what you hold true in black and white, is a powerful thing. The book is not meant to be read in one sitting but rather in many moments of quiet thought and questioning. It is a joyful tome to return to again and again.
George's words are calm and collected. The book is an apropos blend of common and higher thinking - for whoever is reading it will have varying degrees of questions. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will surely return to it often.

excellent - informative and healing May 16, 2006
Touching and personal start with a difficult romance from the author's apprenticeship years, then leads on to intriguing insights ( how does he know how many petals there are on a chakra ? )
It is a very healing book which re-iterates important topics such as the power and need for forgiveness , with a call to all of us, that we can heal the planet and also the need to stay in the present moment, instead of living in the fear of projections into the past or the future. It goes on to offer sympathy for the arduous path of lightworkers, trying to revive ancient wisdoms, strangely absent from many religious texts.
This book is like a friend on the shelf to remind us that we keep getting drawn into illusions (of separation etc.), that could be pulled out and read, instantly lifting us from the doldrums with its clearly defined chapters, well worth a look.
