July 27, 2024This book is just a 400 page scam. Don't fall for it. Creative visualization does not work.
Creative visualization is just a fancy term for wishing or daydreaming. The term was coined by Shakti Gawain in her best-seller Creative Visualization. That book is far better than this one because it's short.
I've tried twice to read this monster. I was a witch/pagan the first time I tried. Vivid mental pictures are the core part of any spell. I only made it about halfway.
Then, there was a leak in the basement and about 25 non-fiction books got damaged, including this one. Two or three books were unsalvageable. I placed the others in a dry spot and forgot about them for nearly ten years. This book is a bit crinkly and readable, but still too damaged to sell. In the meantime, I became an atheist. Never been happier.
I've been having problems with my imagination for decades. As a kid being raised by Born Again Christian parents and sent to a strict Christian school, my imagination was highly discouraged. If I had a dollar for every time I got yelled at for my imagination, I never would become so poor and desperate to fall for scams like creative visualization and crap like that.
Anyway, I tried reading this book again. I had on a Tom Waits mix made by YouTube. When I read about synchronicity, the need for prayer and contacting your Higher Power, "God's Away on Business" suddenly came on.
I thought, Yeah, I get the hint, Tom. Thanks. and closed the book for good. It's going in the recycling bin.
No stars for this waste of trees.

I love the "Complete Idiot's Guides" because they generally present the topic clearly with alot of side information and definitions. I often buy them even for topics (like this one) that I have studied or read widely about.
