Book Reviews of Entering the Castle: An Inner Path to God and Your Soul
Book Review: Confused about Myss vision and teaching compare to her previous works
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this book is very well written, and a lot of insight but I am starting to get confuse about her vision and believes compare to her earlier work since " spiritual power, spiritual practice" & " sacred contract". A lot of stuff she teach before now is totally "too new age" or not good anymore. if you just discover her work for the first time, I would highly suggest to start with "spiritual power, spiritual practice" a more gentle, inspirational teaching compare to this title, especially if you get the audio book version, you might be offended, bothered by her harsh tone and sharp tongue, doesn't make you feel good after you listen 1/2 way through the 1st CD !! and there are 9 CD total!
I've been a long time follower to ms. Myss' teaching. I've learned so much from her and she was truly inspirational. My very first CD of hers was " Spiritual power Spiritual practice" back then she was this loving, gentle spiritual teacher. but over the years she has become this angry, judgmental person I feel like I am being abused mentally and spiritually just from listening to her CDs.
I was listening to her programs on hayhouseradio.com and during her halloween special, she did mentioned that she saw all the negative reviews on amazon.com saying people mentioned that she is harsh and have sharp tongue towards to her listeners. She defend herself by saying the reason she do this is because she saw people has so much potential to grow, she just doesn't want to see their "potential " going into waste or something like that. Ms. Myss, the reason we wrote this review is because we all think you were an awesome spiritual teacher and we are writing this out of love to hope you can realize that you've turn into your own shadow side of archetype. To help, Inspire, shine lights onto other people, not by shreding people apart!!
I was very offended by one sections of her "entering the castle" CD, she was telling a story about she met a man at the airport or somewhere and the man who just recovered from a very serious car accident and was telling Caroline how he felt that there must be a reason why he had survived from the deadly accident and guess hat Ms. Myss said to him " well, why should there be any reason you survived? maybe you were just not watching where you were going that's why you were in the accident! maybe that's the EXACT reason because you weren't watching where you were going! and you think your so special that's why God save you and didn't take you? and you think you are so special that after surviving the accident that God will reward you with all the good things in life, everything will go your way and like surviving is not rewarding enough? ...." and the man answered to her " well I can't accept that, I just can't go on believing in that..."
Ms. Myss, did you hear what you were telling this man? either it's a made up stories or real, if you were so enlightened, you DO NOT shred people apart, smash their hope in life by forcing what you believe is right down to other people's throat! if that man is not a made up character from your story, he had just suffered from an serious accident, I think wouldn't it be so much better that you can give him some inspirational words, shining some lights on to him ( as you always suggesting ) and make him feel there is still hope and love in the world? instead pushing him over the edge by shredding him apart?
I still remembered from your " Spiritual power, Spiritual practice" CD, one thing I still believed you said that had helped me a lot is " .... everything happened for a perfect reason, no matter how small is it, and all things happened with the best intention of you in mind from the universe...." you also made an example like " .... you were driving and the red lights keeps showing up to stop you on the road, instead of getting mad and pissed about you are going to be late, maybe the signal lights purposely keep stopping you because the people you suppose to meet or things you are going to experience are not ready for you yet.....even a small thing like this are all happened for a good and divine reason.". where did the gentle, kind, loving teacher went? I highly doubt it's the success or wealth you've made over the years that turns you into this angry monster you've become. Deep down inside we all still believed you are a great teacher but seems like you forgot what you teach when you started.
Maybe it's time for you to re-visit the very FIRST mansion and get rid of your ego, anger and the most basic "shadows" that made you this sharp tongue, harsh person. If this attitude is still in your next CD, I think a lot of us will stop buying your products!
also, yes, I do agree that just using aromatherapy, crystals without really going deep inside to work on the spirit is not going work, the stone will remain a stone and the fragrant essence oils will just be something smelling good, but please DO NOT trash other spiritual teachers, healing methods that does not fit your ideal or believes. If that's really true, please take off all those "sacred candles", "Sacred stone necklaces" and all those "New Age" stuff you are so angry about off your website and stop selling those, otherwise you are just putting your foot into your mouth!
Last word, we all spend time to write these reviews because we think you can go back to be the great teacher you were when you started. Anyone who is new to caroline myss' teaching, I would NOT suggest to get this "entering the castle" CD or Book or the previous 5 titles ( your power to create...ect), start with her earlier works, it's more insightful and inspirational than any of her later works! because no one, no matter how "stupid" or " not enlighten" enough, whom she referred in this book " those people who can't handle the spiritual journey that should go back to the kitchen to peel potatos" should take this kind of verbal abuse from her and having her negative angry energy to get into your energy field.
Summary of Entering the Castle: An Inner Path to God and Your Soul
Internationally renowned motivational teacher and popular theologian Caroline Myss has created a transcendent work of unique insight and revelation in Entering the Castle. A highly original inner path to self-knowledge, the Castle is also the road to spiritual knowledge of God and your own soul. In fact the soul is your spiritual castle and doing interior soul work helps you find your path in the world.Teresa of Ávila's vision of the soul as a beautiful crystal castle with many mansions, and many rooms within those mansions, is the template for this modern spiritual journey on which you meet different aspects of your self and spirit and prepare for the ultimate encounter with God and your own divinity. Seven stages of intense practices and methods of spiritual inquiry develop your personal powers of prayer, contemplation, and intuition, which in turn reinforce your interior castle and build a soul of strength and stamina.With stories and inspiration from mystics of all traditions, Entering the Castle is a comprehensive guide for the journey of your life -- a journey into the center of your soul. There, peace, God, and a fearless joy wait for you to discover them...and claim them for your own.
