A BOOK FOR ALL TIME!, May 2, 2003
Life's Hidden Meaning is the most remarkable collection of ageless wisdom that I have ever read or can imagine. Most books are long on questions, short on answers...Life's Hidden Meaning is all about ANSWERS, intelligent, cogent, and free of dogma. I felt respected by the Author as he stayed with me through the process of reading and studying this book. By reading and completing this work, my consciousness has been raised...even friends have noticed the difference. The book is at times simple in pointing out how the underlying "frequency" of the universe is based on creating virtue, sometimes thought of as light, or love; and at times the book is very complex with concepts in physics that in my opinion, extend and expand this science beyond Hawkings, Einstein, Feinman, and Sagan; some of my other most respected scholars. Chapter One poses over 60 questions like the following and proceeds to give the reader a breathtaking explanation of every one with reference to the specific chapter where the answer is developed in far more detail. Where did the universe come from? For what reason are there people? What happens after a person dies? What are the underlying physics of physical dimension, etheric, astral and mental? When did humans first incarnate on earth? Why do people get sick? And importantly, why should you believe what you are hearing in this book? Be prepared for an adventure into the evolution of the universe, our planet and ourselves. You will have to read carefully and be willing to take your time to fully explore this work. Most important of all and from my experience, YOUR LIFE WILL HAVE MORE MEANING!

LIFE'S HIDDEN MEANING
by Niles
MacFlouer brings us, at long last, a single-volume resource of esoteric teachings. A
massive treasure trove of metaphysical essence, this 8 1/2 x 11", 720 page, carefully
planned book is likely to become a premier contender for the teaching of ageless esoteric
wisdom in readable text. This is certainly the largest undertaking of the subject since
Manly Palmer Hall's Secret Teachings of All Ages.
The author tells us that his aim is to bring God back into science and reason into theology. Also, that "The emphasis [of this book] is on raising the "consciousness of its readers so that the hidden meaning of life can be revealed to them." These admirable words in the Preface suggest that the reader be aware that the ageless wisdom MacFlouer relates is not static, but is in flux even as our individual understanding enlarges to become wider and deeper. If the works of Alice Bailey, Helena Blavatsky or C.W. Leadbeater, for instance, have stymied you, you'll welcome the graspable retelling of concepts detailed by them and others. For those whose vocabulary does not yet embody esoteric terms, information in abundance is to be found here along with glossaries that provide a means of delving into the text with considerably increased comprehension. Accounts are made more simple with about two hundred really very helpful illustrations, charts and diagrams. And chapter summaries remind you and lead you onward. If questions such as What are the Rays? How does the concept of Time operate on the spiritual, mental, causal, physical planes? Am I part of a group soul? have buzzed your mind, here's a one-stop place to regale yourself with explanations. While this isn't light reading, its content can make a difference in your awareness of the creativity of the Universe. Chapters are progressively deeper, with compelling information in the first group of easiest-to-read ones pointing the reader to fuller information to come. In the last group of chapters "you will find ways to test the author's explanations -- and determine the validity of the entire book for yourself." Weighing in at 722 pages, the 8-1/2 x 11 tome is not likely to be in-bed reading. Thanks to excellent planning, though, it is designed so that there is no problem to laying it flat, and the vellum pages and heavy paper cover are planned for durability. The only thing I take issue with is the cover graphics: the middle word of the title is well hidden within the iris of an eye. The word? It's Hidden (of course). So be aware: if you're looking for it in a bookstore -- not that you could miss it! -- the spine seems to read Life's Meaning. Information about where to find Life's Hidden Meaning can be found on the publisher's very interesting website, www.agelesswisdom.com. In the United States and elsewhere, you will most probably find it at stores that carry books of metaphysical interest. It can also be ordered via major credit card by calling Ageless Wisdom Distributors at 480/966-3132. (720 pages, $39.95, Ageless Wisdom Distributors.) |

Life’s Hidden Meaning is the book that
most readers of spiritual material Very infrequently, a written spiritual work achieves a new and different highest level of insight, clarity, and understanding. Life’s Hidden Meaning is a just-released enormously-sized book that fits into this elite category. The author’s stated emphasis is on the elevating of the reader’s consciousness in order for the reader to achieve a basic understanding of a whole conceptual and plain-English explanation of Ageless Wisdom and what has been some of the most difficult to understand mystical and semi-mystical previous works. Some of these works include such previous esoteric marvels as the books by Alice Bailey, Blavatsky, Bessant, and Leadbeater—just to name a few. The author, under the pseudonym of "Niles MacFlouer," provides more conceptual information in one source—and possibly more than in the collections of all esoteric spiritual sources—than may be available anywhere else. Yet, surprisingly, the book is prefaced by stating that some 95% of the information was left out. The whole spiritual concepts contained within this book have not been explained before, so most of Life’s Hidden Meaning is an original work—about a timeless subject. The book is divided into three groups of noncontiguous chapters. One group is fairly easy to moderately difficult for most readers to understand. It also contains more pages than either of the other two groups. The readers will find the information in this first group of chapters intriguing and a "must" to read. The second group of chapters is moderately difficult to difficult to understand. While being more challenging to many readers, these chapters provide much more depth to the material. For the readers of the afore-mentioned esoteric writers, these chapters will be irresistible in their revealing of what has been, in previous spiritual writing, so difficult to conceptually understand. Finally, for those seeking a completed scientific explanation of life’s hidden meaning, the shortest chapters that comprise the last and third group are, by far, difficult to very difficult for most readers to understand. However, this group of chapters reveals ways of testing the author’s explanations, which is invaluable in determining the entire book’s validity. Life’s Hidden Meaning is beautifully illustrated—a great improvement over many other works of similar caliber. There are some two hundred illustrations within the seven hundred and thirty-two pages of text. The book is 8½" by 11" and is an amazing bargain at a cover price of $39.95, because the paper is very expensive vellum and the cover is extra-heavy paper that is coated on both sides. The binding is the new "lay-flat" fiberglass-taped spine that lasts may times longer than traditional paperback "perfect" bindings. The "lay-flat" type of binding also makes this very large book fairly easy to handle while reading. The illustrations in the book will contribute significantly towards improving the reader’s level of understanding. When you get this book, avail yourself of reading the explanations in the illustrations—they really help. Another great help in reading the book is referring to the "Glossary Help Guide" and then to the glossary itself prior to reading each chapter. This is sometimes difficult to do so because each next chapter is so appealing, but those readers who read the book by reading the recommended glossary words prior to reading each chapter will most likely improve their understanding of each chapter. To sum up Life’s Hidden Meaning: it’s a treasure and soon-to-be reference source and landmark in de-mystifying Ageless Wisdom. It is the first if its kind, and, amazingly, a hallmark in the level of writing, in whole spiritual concepts, material that was previously esoteric. Not only is this book recommended for all those seeking more meaning in life, it is the new requirement for reading by all those who are approaching or are on the spiritual path. Information about where to find Life’s Hidden Meaning can be found on the publisher’s website, at www.agelesswisdom.com. |
