Self-professed auto-didact Neil Kramer has certainly made his life a bold research project in the mystical strains of most of the world's traditions. His experience and earnestness come through nicely, but with the slight constraint of an Englishman. As is the case with others who draw riches from a variety of traditions to mold together an eclectic path of their own, he doesn't leave a clear practical path others may follow--his journey has been absolutely unique. Those looking for specific practices, meditations, etc. won't necessarily find that here.

The rich philosophical discussions make it worth a read, however. Kramer covers topics I've rarely, if ever, come across within books related to esoteric spirituality. His chapter on "The Distortion," for example, is a bold spiritual take on the corporate, New World Order style hegemony of the materialistic world. And I especially appreciated his appeal to creativity as a necessary form of evolvement and expression. His take was unique and refreshing.

Developing higher conscious awareness, being in tune with the universe, and challenging the consensus, are some of the themes. Thinking about reading it...? Just read it.

NOT just another dry, dumbed down self-help book, The Unfoldment was beautifully, poetically written. Kramer encourages the reader to look beyond the blatantly religious, beyond the obviously spiritual, and open to the universal wisdom in the world, ourselves, and each other.
The book describes the journey through transformation without hedging it into one practice or a single set of constructs. (If you can find an audiobook or any videos or podcasts with Neil, he has a lovely, soothing voice with a pleasing lilt.)

This book is partly brilliant, and partly… Well, I don't know what to say!

There are, for example, several references to David Bohm in the book, but I get the impression that Neil Kramer doesn't understand what he writes about. His use of Bohm's notions are sometimes far-fetched, and sometimes not radical enough. Again, because I don't think Kramer understands Bohm.

Other parts of the book are full of life wisdom. Neil Kramer's ability for self-reflection is perhaps the greatest strength of the book.

Overall, I have mixed feelings about this book.

Neil Kramer is one of my favorite mystical teachers.

3.5...useful in some parts, over written in many aspects

One of the few books I would describe as life changing, here Neil Kramer covers mysticism in a way that is both accessible and pragmatic. Avoiding predictable spiritualist noodling, the author describes his own journey of 'Unfoldment' and invites the reader to take their own. The book takes an astonishing turn in Ch 4 as he takes on subjects around New World Order (the 'control grid') with great restraint and insight, avoiding the usual tropes and cliches. Highly recommended.

Although not exactly what I was looking for, this book is full of interesting ideas, many of which I have not encountered elsewhere. I suspect I will return to it to explore some of this more. He describes his own mystical and spiritual path.

in some ways Neil is very grounded and in other ways he is in interstellar space. either way he's given me a lot to think about. in the end it was a mind opener.
